In its six years and a bit in office the Bush administration has failed to nominate a single Afro-American for a judicial position in nine of eleven Southern states, including Bush's home state of Texas. Representatives of Senator Trent Lott want to include the recent nomination of Halil Ozerden as he is of Turkish descent and an example of diversity in nominations as he is "non-Caucasian", a position with which Atatürk would have strongly disagreed.
I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt here. I mean it is hard for Republicans. They just don't know any black people who don't clean their houses, cook their food or drive their cars.
