"Tricky" people.

Not many people in these divided states are talking about the Jackie O tapes. She was the wife of Camelot, A-merry-can royalty, and we all loved her. (Yes, even you Negroes.) Girlfriend was Lady Diana before there was Lady Diana.

But sadly, now we know how Jackie O really felt about one of A-merry-ca's icons, and a hero to you Negroes. 

"The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is a “phony” because of his skirt-chasing ways"

Oh my! Poor Jackie O, maybe she saw too much of her husband in brother Martin. Because, make no mistake, to paraphrase Tupac; my man got around.

"Mrs Kennedy said her view of King was formed after being told of secret FBI wiretaps which showed him trying to organise a sex party before he attended the March on Washington in August 1963, at which he delivered his ‘I Have a Dream’ speech. She said her brother-in-law Robert told her that King made disparaging remarks about JFK at the funeral and about Cardinal Richard Cushing, who delivered the eulogy. I just can’t see a picture of Martin Luther King without thinking, you know, that man’s terrible,’ she said.

He made fun of Cardinal Cushing and said that he was drunk at it [the funeral] – and things about they almost dropped the coffin. I mean Martin Luther King is really a tricky person." [Source]

Yes Jackie, those Negroes can be tricky. Kind of like former First Ladies. 

Finally, I see that the republicans, as promised, found it in their big hearts to block disaster aid to flood stricken states:

"Republicans blocked an effort Monday by Senate Democrats to quickly pass a $7 billion aid package for victims of recent natural disasters like Hurricane Irene, tornadoes in the Midwest and the South and floods along the Mississippi, Missouri and other rivers.

On a 53-33 vote, the Senate rejected an attempt by Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to bring up a bill that Democrats had hoped to use to replenish the Federal Emergency Management Agency's depleted disaster fund. Democrats needed 60 votes to advance the measure.

Reid said FEMA has spent almost $400 million in the past two weeks on emergency help like food and shelter following Irene and has only about $300 million left.

President Barack Obama on Friday asked Congress for $500 million to make sure the disaster fund doesn't run out of cash before the end of the month. He also officially asked for $4.6 billion for the upcoming budget year that starts Oct. 1.

Earlier Monday, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Republicans will attach a disaster aid package to must-pass legislation for keeping the government fully running past Sept. 30. That stopgap spending bill is likely to advance next week.

They're playing around the edges of what really needs to be done," Reid complained, saying hundreds of millions of dollars is needed to rebuild places like Joplin, Mo., where a tornado in May destroyed more than 7,000 homes and 10 school buildings and killed 159 people." [Source]

Oh come on now Mr. Reid, these are just people. It's not like they are corporations or anything.
