KRIKORIAN: HISPANICS, BLACKS AND GAYS CAUSED WAMU BANK COLLAPSE

By Greg Siskind

It's actually fun writing that headline. But that's essentially what he wrote today in his National Review column. My favorite response to this piece of trash comes from the Daily Kos:

Was Washington Mutual Failure Caused By Hispanics Working There?

No. No it wasn't. And if you think that, or even contemplate that seriously for a single moment, you're a f---ing racist of the highest caliber. You are also a tool, an ass, and a moron. You should be banished from anything even remotely resembling "punditry", and set to work picking fleas off zoo animals.

I'm not sure what it's going to take to finally purge conservatives and Republicans of their ingrained belief that every bad thing that ever happens in the world can be traced back to brown people, or black people, or any other of a variety of scary non-whites, but if and when we discover a medical solution we should convert it to enema form and forcibly administer it to every last conservative on the planet.

But at stalwart conservative outlets like the National Review, you can say pretty much anything, especially if you put one of those question marks behind it so it looks like you're neutrally contemplating the question, instead of being correctly embarrassed at being such a gigantic a**hole that you'd bring it up at all.

You know, there's a reason the KKK used to dress up with giant dunce caps on their heads. It's because they're goddamned stupid, and always have been. Always charming to see there's been no leaps in the capacity of conservatives to feel Basic Human Shame in the last fifty years.

There's absolutely nothing that can get these people fired.
