Don Blankenship said Tuesday that it wasn’t racist to call Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao’s father (and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s father-in-law) a “Chinaperson.”

“I mean, I’m an Americanperson,” Blankenship said.

I prefer to think of Blankenship as a “SlackjawedMouthbreathingKnuckledraggingPerson”.

But, then again, I’m an “elitist”.

Tweeting “I am getting ready to obstruct justice” is an idea that is very good, and smart.

So I guess it’s OK for everyone to call you an “Assholeperson”, since that seems to be the place of your birth.

I love it when white guys inform us of what is racist and what is not.

My late father-in-law used to use “Chinamen” without any malicious intent, and when he said “nigger” he also had no malicious intent (like when he said it in a restaurant and all heads turned his way). He was a clueless ol’ boy whom the family indulged, but I didn’t. It was a shock to him I think to have someone finally say knock it off.

It’s so wonderful to know that a brother and sister can produce such a fine, upstanding person like Don Blankenship.

I would really like all interviews with this clown to begin with stating “Here is Don Blakenshit, candidate for senate and convicted felon.”
