As Long As It Is Off the Record It's Ok?

[Jermyn Davidson]

State Rep. Gene Alday, a Republican, told The Clarion-Ledger he was against increased funding for education, in particular funding to improve literacy. During his explanation, Alday said he comes "from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call 'welfare crazy checks.' They don't work."


SO the logic is, don't fund education because all the blacks are on welfare?

And I don't know how this could have been said in any kind of context that is positive.

And and he was never supposed to have been quoted in the first place because his truer feelings were supposed to be off the record.

But then we wonder why the GOP has the perception problem it has. Things like this happen over and over and over....
