I have been listening to the most recent New Yorker "Campaign Trail" podcast. Dorothy Wickenden, whom I have become rather fond of during this otherwise interminable US election campaign, quotes Chris Rock as having said: "George Bush has fucked up so bad he has made it hard for a white man to run for president."
I hope he actually did say that; it's rather good. I also hope he's right (and that he was thinking about one white man in particular).
