That was funny. And she didn't have to explain it to O'Donnell or Karen Finney. They were chuckling as the words came out of her mouth.

Every time he turned his head to the side, I had to shield my eyes from the sudden glare. I wonder why that was?

The more folks that hear about what he did the better.

I was afraid that we'd all be tweeting on Twitter last night and then nothing would come of it, but it's starting to look like it's got legs

but this link came up from the African American Pundit blog :


Mitt Romney In BrownFace at Univision.

The folks at the New Civil Rights Movement are caling out Mitt Romney on his ignorant blackface or LatinoFace last night on Univision. Yes, Mitt Romney got sprayed down in darker face coloring.

The New Civil Rights Movement points out that Mitt Romney showed up at the largest Spanish language U.S. television network, and showed the audience of Latinos and Hispanics that he was one of them — by dying his skin brown. There is absolutely no question that Romney either used some form of a self-tanner, or get a very deep, dark tan in a very short amount of time, but somehow, all images are consistent with the fact that Romney appeared last night on TV with a significantly darker face.
