"Sly" in Madison and his comment about Condi = Aunt Jemima

There's a very funny guy on the radio in Madison that called Condi "Aunt Jemima"...he was spot on. And he won't back down except for the usual PR BS that he needed to do.

More on him and the cool progressive station going mano-o-mano with AAR:

1. I think because of Belling's "wetback" comment

people were just saying it was a bit hypocritical to let a Progressive radio guy get away with what could be taken as a racial slur. But then, I preferred his longhand explanation to just calling her Aunt Jemina anyway.

As with Mark, there were ways of saying the same thing without resorting to a phrase that might offend.
