Let's See, Racist, Bad Sense Of Humor... That's What You Want In A Candidate, Right?
-
Remember a couple of years ago when racist Obama jokes were all the rage among local politicians who couldn't help but send them in e-mails that led to their having to resign? Well, here's one of them, a City Councilman and former Mayor who had to resign over sending an e-mail showing a watermelon patch in fromt of the White House. And he's thinking about running for council in a comeback. So... should one racist e-mail bar a guy from elected office for life, or is there room for a second chance? I'd think that sending that thing shows the kind of stupidity and lack of control that doesn't bode well for serving in public office, but he's clearly hoping that people can look past that.
