Soon as I'm fired, I'm hired

Earlier this week, Shirley Sherrod was asked to resign from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for her alleged racism. I'll let Rachel Maddow fill in the whole background:

The White House's involvement in this story is just too cowardly for me to stomach.

I'm glad to see people rallying around Shirley Sherrod, even if it gives Glenn Beck the chance to be an opportunistic twat. Conversely, Brent Bozell commented on the manufactured controversy, and showed himself to be on the other side of Glenn Beck's same coin:

The bigger problem for the NAACP is that it has its very own racists. Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government website revealed video of a NAACP banquet where U.S. Department of Agriculture appointee Shirley Sherrod talked about how she didn’t want to help a white farmer because he should be helped by “his own kind.” The contempt in her voice, in her face, and in the audience’s laughter is unmistakable.

What an lying idiot. There entire point of the speech was dismissive of having contempt at all for anyone, especially Bozell's beloved white folks, the only people he can see bias against. Shirley Sherrod, in the very speech he refers to, said it best:

That's when it was revealed to me that it's about the poor versus those who have. It's not so much about white. It is about white and black, but it's not, you know, it opened my eyes.
