Throwing Family Under The Bus

Do you remember who made this comment?

"She gets mad when the mailman is late with her welfare check. That's how dependent she is."

Do you remember the "she" is the person's sister?

So, now people the people who said not one word about the "mailman" comment are mad about Obama's comment about his grandmother?

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother -- a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

Oh, I guess I should mention Clarence Thomas made the comment about his sister. Here's more information about that one.
