I didn’t realize Godfather Pizzaman’s first name was Herb. That is unfortunate, since there can only be one Herb Caen
Sharpton began as a bad joke to me, when I first heard of him. He was vigorously defending that girl who claimed she was raped by several white boys. Even when it was obvious she had lied, he shouted how it was still a relevant issue.
When he was running for president, I found him to be much more inciteful. He is a smart guy.
There are many black and female politicians who I find credible. Usually, if they can back off from the hype, and just speak plainly, they will gain my respect. One of my favorite politicians was Shirley Chisholm. One of the things she said that I loved was that it was harder for her to be taken seriously because she was a woman, than because she was black.
Michelle Bachmann is an idiot, but not in Sarah Palin’s league. She is a good example of what makes people hate Christians.
Herb Caen Cain came across very well in the Republican debate the other night. He has my respect.
Dianne Feinstein is one of my politician-heroes. @marinelife might be right in her case. That woman has stones!
