What can we do about this - "Westmoreland Calls Obama Uppity"

[Iris]

If you've lived in GA for any amount of time, you know what a slur this is.

1. Demanding an apology

I have already sent my own communication to Westmoreland demanding he apologize for this statement. If you will check the Stephen Camp website - the Democrat running against Westmorelandm, you will find his press release demanding that Westmoreland apologize to Obama, Georgians.

Just needs to be kept an open issue as much as possible. Maybe,just maybe, it will turn out to be a "macaca" moment. We can always hope.

2. I agree. This needs to be major news -nationally as well as in GA.

3. Colbert Update

The Colbert Report updated its original interview with Westmoreland last night and it was hysterical. He covered the "uppity" remark and then showed the original interview when Westmoreland looked particularly dumb and especially when he couldn't remember the Ten Commandments. Hopefully, more people now know about this idiot.

4. CNN actually covered it this evening.

It is a start...

I would love to see that guy gone for good.
