A good man

Jonathan Weisman apologizes for saying Barack was "much more white than black." It's a credit to Weisman that he doesn't hedge in his apology--he explains, then says the explanation isn't a defense, and then he apologize. Frankly, his apology made me think that I should have picked up a phone or sent him a note before ripping him.

Eh. Dude still didn't acknowledge the fact that Obama started getting engaged with blacks at his 'elite Hawaiian prep achool.'

And a question: what are Hawaiians or Indonesians, then? White? Because he saw more of them than any other groups during his childhood.
