Is anybody elase confused on this...Gates-vs-the law
Remember when this first hit the fan?....F-ing Al Sharpton was working his way into a tizzy....B.O. put his nose in it..said it was "stupid" the way things were handled by the police..there was threats of law suits, the race card flying faster than the dice in a New orleans back alley...and now ....this??????? WTF?
(Newser Summary) – The beer meeting at the White House has come and gone, but Henry Louis Gates offers a postscript: "I thank God that I live in a country in which police officers put their lives at risk to protect us every day," (You have got to be kidding me)he writes in the Root, where he is editor in chief. The Harvard professor also thanks President Obama for bringing him and Sgt. Crowley together. "Our country is blessed to have such a leader," he writes.
For Gates, he and Crowley have become "metaphors, really" in a national racial narrative. Now, he writes, the two must "utilize the great opportunity that fate has given us to foster greater sympathy among the American public for the daily perils of policing on the one hand, and for the genuine fears of racial profiling on the other hand."
smells like bullshit to me...he was caught being a mouthy ass, caught making it a race issue when it wasn't, even got B.O. involved and made him look like an ass.....I think this is an attempt to attenuate any potential campaign fall out in the near future.....too late....riff

Locked up huh... You know, that is actually funny you say that. I won't say why but it sure is funny.
Anyway, are you having a nice day? I sure hope you are DickHead... I want nothing more than for you to be happy. I love talking to you.
Maybe you meant "looked up" and you just spelled wrong again... You are known for spelling things horribly wrong.
