There's Nothing to Say
by Bill C. Davis


When asked about an affair on the locker room radio show hosted by the "insightful" political pundit Imus John Kerry responded by saying "There's nothing to say." Aside from being a somewhat evasive answer he stumbled into a motto for political success in modern day America - "There's nothing to say."

When the Congressional Black Caucus looked for one senator to stand with them in contesting the Florida electoral votes in 2000 there was nothing to say - from either of the Johns - Kerry or Edwards. Interestingly, Sharpton, who has emerged as hitman for the Democratic Leadership Council, was more interested in Dean's cabinet than he was in this important moment in American democracy. Why didn't one senator stand up for the disenfranchised African American voters? As both senators are going for those votes why didn't they fight for their rights to vote at a time when it would have been monumental? There was nothing to say.
