And all this takes place as Sharpton prepares to stump for Lamont. Go figure.

Has anyone thought to send a screen cap of this thing to the Lieberman campaign? Not that I’m that big a fan of his, but I’d love to see someone beat Hamster and Huf n’ Puff over the head with it. I’d do it myself, but I don’t know how.

My favorite comment at the Huffington blog – Lieberman in blackface is “beyond the pale”. Well, yes.

The graphic is down, but the ‘coverup” is a flop – the bottom of the now-graphicless post still says “Graphic by Darkblack”.

FWIW (not much), the appropriately named “Darkblack” has contributed other graphics at FDL.

Actually I don’t think I even get what the hell they are trying to communicate. Joe is an Uncle Tom, I guess but that stretches just the historical Sambo/minstrel/blackface metaphor to a vaporous thinness and that is before any considerations of taste or the propriety of trivializing the facts of Jim Crow life of yestercentury. Joe is just mouthing for Massa? Is that Clinton? Well, we know that ain’t it. If it were Bush in the photo the thing might approach coherence. As it is, it’s just a bizarre spectacle like McKinney’s lunatic ramblings at her debate. Both are just too vapid to even be non sequiters.

Sorry, I know that last comment kind of repeats my update – I just put it in there in case anyone didn’t READ the update…

The picture is down, but no explanation or apology was given…that’s just fundamentally cowardly and dishonest…
