Notes From D.R. | Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene

I’ve always believed that William Bennett, like Trent Lott, is not the brightest bulb in the conservative lamp, so it doesn’t surprise me that he said something stupid that will give the left even more impetus to smear all conservatives as racist. Haven’t prominent members of the right learned by now that, whether it’s fair or not, you have to be careful about the way you word things lest you arouse the attention of the PC Police? Gawd…

UPDATE: Bill Bennett clarifies his remarks. The White House condemns the initial broadcast. And Rush Limbaugh and Andrew McCarthy dismiss the controversy as just so much PC Police brutality (I don’t deny that the PC Police are using excessive force in response to Bennett’s remarks, but that doesn’t excuse Bennett’s stupidity).
