Age of Un-enlightenment

Here's how NOT to win over minorities in your community: “I grew up probably in the same situation as you guys. I started school in public housing. My dad had a sixth-grade education,” said Florida Gov. Rick Scott at a luncheon for 20 black lawmakers. Ergo, if you're black, you must have grown up poor and had illiterate parents. A quick glance at the biographies of these Democrats revealed that you could almost paper over the luncheon hall walls with all of the civic awards, masters degrees, law degrees and doctorates between these accomplished folks. Not that it will surprise you, Scott is a conservative Republican, another in string of pols who seem blissfully stuck in circa 1954. Is there a special GOP factory someplace where they make these idiots?
