Smile(s) of the Day

Kristi Noem, Republican, won the only House seat in South Dakota.

Nikki Haley, Republican, is the new Governor of South Carolina, becoming the first Indian-American woman governor in American history.   The first Indian-American governor, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, is also a Republican. 

Susana Martinez, Republican, is the new Governor of New Mexico, the first Latina governor in American history.   (Think anyone will call her a "wise Latina"?)

Finally, Lt. Col.Allan West (ret.) is a new Congressman from Florida. 

OK, so that's three women, three minorities, two children of immigrants, right?   All elected by those sexist, racist, xenophobic Republicans, right?  Right?  

Wrong... it's four Americans, period.  That's what Republicans believe; that's what Democrats used to believe, or so they said.   The content of one's character, not the color of one's skin. 

Man, do these folks make me smile.
