The blog Shakesville keeps track of racism and sexism in the 2008 campaign — not surprising sexism is way ahead!

Al Sharpton immediately commented on this outrage.
How did I learn about all this? Well, I happened to be flipping channels at a hotel in New Brunswick and came across the story on Fox News.

People like Al Sharpton are quick to jump on the slightest soundbite. But Jesse Jackson saying “hymie town”? Who cares about that.
