The GOP congressional people are bad enough, but the local yokels are even worse, if possible.

Over drinks at the Governors Club in Tallahassee, the Herald reported, Artiles complained to his two colleagues that the state’s Senate president had won that position due to the votes of “six niggers” in his caucus. Gibson and Thurston told the Herald that Artiles later said he had used the word “niggas.”

<snark>
That’s all right, then, because “niggers” is bad but “niggas” is OK.

“I . . . regret the incident profusely”

Will they ever learn not to use the word “regret” in an apology?

I remember when the ability not to blurt out the N-word under stress was a job requirement in the political world. Sigh. Getting old, man.

Good to know that Artiles did not mean to be disrespectful when he called Gibson a fucking asshole, nigga bitch girl. It’s easy to be misunderstood when you’re shooting the breeze over drinks at the Governors Club.

The latent hostility from the Cuban exiles toward many residents is atrocious.

I realize it was terribly offensive and off the charts tacky, but I’d have laughed my ass off at Senator Doofus gettin’ all fly.

I’ve lost my temper plenty of times and here’s a list of things I never did as a result:

  • choke my wife
  • try to excommunicate my ex-wife from our church
  • call anybody a n-----

I guess these are more signs that I am not a real American.
