Irony Lost?

I was watching the Final statement portion of the Alito confirmation on FOXNews yesterday (how else will I get my Chimpy W. McHitlerburton talking points if I don't) and Senator Biden (D- Delaware) commented about racism. He noted that in the old days it was overt. A prospective employer would just say something like, "We won't hire you because your black". Nowadays, its much more subtle with comments like, "We just don't think you'd fit in here."

Jump forward a couple hours later when Penn Governer Ed Rendell (D) was talking about the confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas. Gov. Rendell noted he would not have voted for Thomas because he didn't think he was qualified.

Sounds like they know what they're talking about.
