Some of us have grown up

John Kerry, oh, John Kerry, say it isn't so. But, alas, apparently 'tis true.
The Massachusetts senator, putative 2004 Democratic standard-bearer and soon-to-be leader of the party that most voting African Americans and other people of color call home, has an innermost circle of advisers that is practically as white as the driven snow. That slam against the Kerry high command appeared last week in "The Inside Edge" column of Carlos Watson on CNN.com.
Colbert, both you and Carlos need to grow up.
A couple of dark faces aren't enough to make up for all the rest of us being the fulcrum on which the Southern Strategy pivots. I'm not voting for someone because he pays a couple of folks well when he doesn't give a damn about the rest,
and the hat tip goes to N.Z. Bear.
