Last year I saw Col West at the Pam Geller event, this year he was the Keynote Speaker, but before he gave his keynote he visited bloggers row. (Maureen Dowd was not invited)
There were a lot of people in that room who would love to see this man on a national ticket sometime soon.
update: …particularly if he keeps saying stuff like this.
When I see this I just laugh:
The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) is staying silent about a Tea Party Republican’s bid to join the group.
Rep.-elect Allen West (R-Fla.) indicated last week he intends to join the CBC to challenge the group’s “monolithic voice.”
Staying silent. Say WHAT? It is the Congressional Black Congress, not the Congressional Black Democratic Caucus or the Congressional Black Liberal Caucus. This should be a no brainer shouldn’t it?
A CBC spokesperson on Monday declined to comment on West’s bid.
Bid? BID! What it this an eBay auction?
This would be gift #4 for republicans of the month. I can’t imagine the caucus would be this foolish. Can you imagine what must go on in those meetings that is so embarrassing that they don’t dare let a republican hear it?
Update: I guess they figured it out. DaTechGuy get results!
The Congressional Black Caucus says it will allow two recently elected black Republicans to join the group if they ask.
The all-Democratic caucus had wavered over the issue since Tim Scott of South Carolina and Allen West of Florida were elected last week. Chairwoman Barbara Lee had pointed to the group’s liberal mission statement as a potential point of conflict.
But in a statement Tuesday, the group said the two would be welcomed if they request membership.
Another barrier falls, Huzzah!
