I said look, I'm not opposing her because she's a woman, nor am I supporting her because she's a woman.

Down here near Detroit, I am told that Canada's blogging Witches of the East and West - the Small Brain-dead Animal and Five Feet of Frig-All - are upset that I went on Charles Adler's show and said that I support Barack Obama, in part, because he's black. It's true. I can think of no better way to repudiate America's sad history than to elect a strong, smart black leader. It's the same reason I liked General Powell as a prospective candidate. So, yes, I support Obama, in part, because he's black. Guilty as charged. Meanwhile, the Witches of the East and West hate him because he's black. Which is pretty much what you'd expect from a couple of bigots.
