    Edit: I made sure to mention his party affiliation because I know some one these boards are a little picky about that.

    Tar baby?

    Yeah, that is more than stepping in it.

    C'mon, it's a reference from a (banned) Disney film. :D

    Lamborn has been off the rails for years out here.

    I think Chase and Pryor use it in that SNL skit.

    I'm sure his approval rating went up after he said that.

    That's sad, that there are people actually trying to defend him. Give me a break. He's a racist...end of story. Get rid of him.

    Not defending what he said, but he's not losing his job over that.

    And on a day when Giffords and the budget are all over the news, most will forget what he said within the week.
