Life Imitates the Wire
Remember in Season Four when Royce is faltering in the polls against Carcetti, and so he tries to whip up black support by making a bunch of red, green and black signs saying that Royce is “our” candidate. Well, Bobby Rush seems to be doing the exact same thing in his beyond-shameful shilling for Roland Burris and Rod Blagojevich. Imploring the Senate not to “hang or lynch the appointee” sounds like something that David Simon left on the cutting room floor because it was just a bit too ridiculous. Is there an equivalent term to “shonde” that can be used for race-baiting hustlers?
