Well now ole J. Beauregard Sessions is a true bars and stripes southerner from the old school and he knows a racist when he sees one cause he’s seen lots and lots of em.

And I am reminded Leghorn Foghorn…Camptown Races…here we go…Doo-DAH! Doo-DAH!

The man who thought the only thing wrong with the Ku Klux Klan was some of ‘em smoke marijuana yet found NAACP and ACLU un-american because they shove civil rights down our throats.

Now Beauregard is a bit bitter because his views cost him a judgeship so he must feel like those poor firemen, a victim of reverse discrimination. He tried to back pedal at his confirmation hearing, “That’s a joke…I say, that’s a joke son.” The committee didn’t buy it nor should we.

Now Beauregard has bonded with Senator Kyl over the illegal immigration reform, Sessions doesn’t want any path for citizenship while Kyl wants to give them five years to leave the country before reapplying for admission. They both burned their Latin bridges so what the hell let’s give the wise Latina hell, just like we gave the fair Paez a no vote. Score some points with the raging white guys out there, you know their base. Hell nobody is going to check out our past, real Americans don’t eat quiche or use the Google.

Doo_DAH! Doo DAH.
