Saving me the trouble of writing a punch line.

1. http://blacknell.net/dynamic/2008/09/18/george-allen-republican-minority-outreach-star/

2. During that Republican convention, I saw one black person.

   The punch line: he’s a friend, a Sorensen classmate.

3. …in all fairness, everyone else in the state Republican party is even worse at minority outreach.

4. Let’s not forget Michael Steele, who was a featured speaker at the Republican convention. I think that was the most prominent African-American they could find – a former Lt. Governor of Maryland (and former brother-in-law of Mike Tyson, by the way).

5. I guessed I missed him—though I didn’t watch every minute, of course, it was also a while before I realized that you’ve got to watch PBS or C-SPAN, or else they’ll cut away and you’ll miss a speaker. (That’s how I ended up missing Tim Kaine!)

6. Some good comedy there! Thanks, Waldo, for posting. Following some of the links led me to a funny video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmxpX6I0qQE

7. That. Is. Brilliant.
