Inside the mind and heart of Andre Bauer
Maya Angelou once said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” South Carolina Lt. Governor Andre Bauer showed us exactly who he was over the weekend. In a speech before a group of Fountain Inn area residents, Bauer who is a Republican gubernatorial candidate drew a comparison between stray animals and people on government assistance. The Greenville News quotes Bauer as saying, “My grandmother was not a highly educated woman but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that. And so what you’ve got to do is you’ve got to curtail that type of behavior. They don’t know any better.”

Living a Lie on the Presidential Campaign Trail
If you watched TV over the weekend you no doubt heard about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s intemperate remarks about President Obama’s light colored skin and his lack of a “Negro” dialect. The statements attributed to Reid are part of a new book Game Change by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin. Although the media immediately fixated on Reid’s alleged racist comments about Obama, there were far juicer revelations included in the book. In a review in today’s NY Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/11/books/11book.html?hpw Michiko Kakutani writes “during debate preps, some staff members assigned to Sarah Palin by the McCain campaign discussed the “threatening possibility: that Palin was mentally unstable.” They add that several of Senator John McCain’s lieutenants agreed that if it looked like their candidate might actually win in November, they would have to discuss how to relegate Ms. Palin “to the largely ceremonial role that pre-modern vice presidents inhabited”: “it was inconceivable” that “if McCain fell ill or died, the country be left in the hands of a President Palin.”
Onward Christian Newsman-Brit Hume Offers Tiger Woods Salvation
Maybe I’m a little paranoid, because I’m reading The Family by Jeff Sharlet, which exposes the powerful political influence exerted by a group of fundamentalist Christians known as “The Family” but I find myself deeply disturbed by Fox New Anchor Brit Hume’s recent exhortation to Tiger Woods to convert to Christianity to ‘seek redemption’. Hume’s open and unapologetic proselytizing on a recent edition of Chris Wallace’s political news program provoked fellow Fox News star Don Imus to do a little fact checking on the tenants of Buddhism http://thinkprogress.org/2010/01/04/imus-hume-christian-faith/.
