Columnist Michelle Malkin gives a fantastic smackdown of Democrat Jim Moran with "Jim Moran, Racist Pig." Malkin goes after Moran for his insulting, condescending suggestion that Rep. Allen Wast is not really black. Please read Malkin's column.Now that I'm a little worked up, I have a few things to say on the topic.To Moran, West dares to be a Republican so West is "not representative" of what it means to be African American.
