It’s easy to riff away the song and ensuing controversy over the hip-hop song “Bush don’t like Black People” as something of a liberal self-parody. ‘Tis Shrill. Surely you’re not saying that Bush doesn’t like black people? Are all black conservatives “Uncle Tom”s, and isn’t that such a demeaning attitude? (Somewhere there’s a “Black Commentator” online editorial that muses over Bush’s choice of Janice Rogers Brown as “fitting Bush’s criteria for what a black appointment needs to be: completely insane, and more insane than any white appointment could be.”)

Perhaps Bush doesn’t dislike black people so much as he only likes WASPS… or Male WASPs… Male White Anglo Saxon Prostitu– er — Protestants.

Case in point, regarding the sex that makes up 52 percent of the American population:

One week ago, the Office of Women’s Health of the FDA “sent an e-mail notice to women’s groups and others announcing the appointment of Norris Alderson as its new acting director.” Immediately, eyebrows were raised. Alderson was a Mike Brown-redux — an “FDA veteran trained in animal husbandry who spent much of his career in the agency’s Center for Veterinary Medicine”.

Though that history was sort of deleted away and tossed into the memory box, it… it remains true that… Bush Administration appointed a Veterinarian as acting director of the Office of Women’s Health.

Replacing:

The last director, Susan Wood, resigned last month to protest the agency’s unwillingness to make a decision on whether to make emergency contraception more easily available.
