The Standard Double Standard

I have read a good deal about the stereotypical racial insults direct at Condaleeza Rice since her nomination for the post of Secretary of State. I have also read and heard numerous commentaries about the stunning silence from groups such as the NAACP and any of Jessie Jackson's organizations, and even the lack of criticism from much of the media.

But the ultimate double standard is to consider what the outcry would have been if any of what has been said about Dr. Rice had been said about any of the African Americans with high ranking cabinet posts in the Clinton administration.

Oh, wait. Never Mind.

1 That's what happens when the "elite" left decide to criticize, and their college buddies in the media decide to bury it for them. For that matter, did anyone believe that Dr. Rice had a snowball's chance at the foot of a burning cross for Sen. Byrd's endorsement?
