REP. WESTMORELAND REGARDING HIS “UPPITY” COMMENT ABOUT THE OBMAMAS: “THOSE PEOPLE SURE ARE SENSITIVE”
By R J Shulman
ATLANTA – Representative Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA), who made quite a stir when he called Barack and Michelle Obama “uppity,” defended himself today. “I had no idea,” said the two term congressman from Sharpsburg, Georgia, “that ‘uppity’ would offend darkies. What? Darkies is offensive? The next thing you know, some Jewboy lawyer will try and sue me over it. What? Jewboy is offensive? I just cant believe it. Those PC people are taking away our best language.”

“We were simply trying to portray the Obamas as being out of touch with the American people by being arugula chomping elitists,” said Karl Rove. “But what we found out was that Westmoreland is onto something here as he seems to have energized the GOP base.” A New York Times/ABC poll showed that Westmoreland’s approval rating rose from 58% to 73% after his comment about the Obamas became known.

“This PC crap has been intimidating us all these years,” said senior McCain campaign advisor Steve Schmidt, “so all formally forbidden nasty names are now back on the table. We are no longer going to cower in the corner, fearful of what America-hating liberals might say. What that means in practical terms,” Schmidt said, “is that the straight talk express will no longer be afraid to call a spade a spade.”
