A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Girlfriend — you are going to need more than a little Revlon Coffee Sensation Concealer to cover up the fact that you were briefed well before Sept 11 on the threat posed by Al Qaeda — and did nothing. Or at least nothing that prevented the disaster.
Girlfriend — a lie like that? That you get caught in? Someone is using some powerful stuff to relax your famous hair because it seems to be relaxing your mind too. Did you really think we’d fall for the old “I don’t recall” line? 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 sounds pretty scary to me. We all know you’re a strong Black woman and not easily scared. But there’s a fine line between strong…and stupid.
Girlfriend — I don’t hear you talking back to Sen. Bill Frist about his idea of allowing the Taliban — the same people who aided and comforted (and continue to do so) Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda — to share in the government in Afghanistan and that we should just give up trying to fight them. If that isn’t soft on terror, frankly I don’t know what is.
Condi Rice, girlfriend — it’s time to take responsibility for your failures on national security and step down. Or maybe if you just keep on smilin’, simperin’ and a-shufflin’ no one will even notice your race traitor tendencies!
