    Way to go John Payton. Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan couldn’t hang in this conversation. They both sounded so dumb and ignorant . . . two white guys scared of their own extinction. And Ricci, for gods sake, did you see the way the man read, dragging his finger along the page, sounding utterly challenged? I wouldn’t trust this guy with my life. What always surprises me is how there’s always this debate around blacks and affirmative action but nobody talks about white entitlement. If you have black skin there’s the assumption that you took somebody’s space, some white person’s space. But I’ve seen time and time again some of the most ill-qualified white folks, including our former prez, in places they really don’t belong. Ricci strikes me as one of them.
