The Klan has a home in the Democratic Party

In a futile effort to challenge the nomination for Secretary of State of a highly qualified woman who happens to be an African-American, the Democrats are showing their true colors. Their lead spokesman against Dr. Rice is a former Grand Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan, senator byrd. Lorie Byrd (no relation) of Byrd Droppings has a great cartoon on the subject. Only suggestion I'd make to her would be to replace Rep. Pelosi with Sen. Boxer in the cartoon since only the Senate is involved in the confirmation process. Showing they are the party of inclusiveness and not just the party of racists, the other headline speakers against Dr. Rice included a misogynist (Kennedy) and a cowardly moonbat (Dayton).

UPDATE: Dr. Rice has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate for appointment as Secretary of State. Unfortunately, 13 senators (Byrd, Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry, Dayton, Bayh, Levin, Harkin, Lautenberg, Jeffords, Reed, Akaka, and Durbin) either for blatant partisanship or latent racism voted against her. All who voted against Dr. Rice are admitted Democrats except Jeffords who votes with Dems most of the time but pretends to be an Independent.
