For some reason people in the South have a problem with pronouncing ‘Liam,’ I have been called Lime, Lame etc etc, after a while I told people who had difficulty with it that they could call me William.

Just so long as they don’t call you Limey.

I simply do not understand why there is such an obsession with race. Do we see reporters focusing on Senator Clinton’s gender and all the associations she has had with radical feminists?

I wonder if Newsweek will publish an article about Senator McCain’s ethnicity? Shoudn’t we uncover all the possible associations John McCain has had with white people who happen to be racist?

The effort to portray Senator Obama as the black candidate is unfortunate.

The issue is his insecurity with his own identity. You don’t see any of the other candidates going through these gymnastics.

That question doesn’t follow what I said: “You don’t see any of the other candidates going through these gymnastics.”
