Great Minds Think Alike

• "I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple. And we have talent."--Interior Secretary James Watt, Sept. 21, 1983
  
• "Then came the four Democrats: the woman, the African-American, the Hispanic American, the coiffed Southern lawyer. They seemed younger, livelier and clearly to be living in 21st-century America."--editorial, New York Times, Jan. 7, 2008


(Some of you may be too young to remember James Watt and his "brilliant" quip, but believe me - it filled the airwaves and front pages for days, and was even made into a SNL skit.)
