The new Klan

A white man and former member of the Ku Klux Klan is impeding the path of a black woman to a very high political office. So why isn't the press all over this, screaming "racism" ?

Well, the former Klansman is a Democrat -- Sen Robert Byrd. And the black woman is a conservative -- Dr Condoleezza Rice.

So, it's perfectly "acceptable" to the media (which, of course, has no bias at all).
