Journal Sentinel Finally Covers McGee's "Jokes"

Check Eugene Kane off the list of Journal Sentinel columnists who acknowledged the racist spew uttered by Michael McGee, Sr. We shouldn't be surprised he doesn't give a damn:

Personally, I think it's ridiculous to focus on McGee's jokes.
McGee has had the most outrageous radio broadcast in Milwaukee for about 15 years. He considers nothing off limits; he's used racial slurs, including the N-word, numerous times.

He refuses to condemn McGee. That would require Kane to care about improving race relations in Milwaukee. If things got better he would soon run out of column ideas.

Kane being the expert of all things racist takes it to another level by admitting there's a double standard when it comes to racist words:

(Memo to clueless squawkers: Black folks can call each other the N-word without taking it as an insult or slur. It's a black thing; you wouldn't understand.)

How about when Louis Farrakhan called Pope John Paul II a "cracker?" Is that ok? Help me, Eugene. Enlighten me O judge of all that's racist.

As for Ricardo Pimentel and his merry band of editorialists it took five days for them to comment on McGee's racist jokes. Way to keep up with the pulse of the community guys. Owen Robinson had a field day with their "situational ethics" so that gives me less to write.

It also took Tim Cuprisin five days to report on McGee's racist humor. He talked to Patrick Dorwin and mentioned his weblog. Free publicity is always good, especially from a big city newspaper.

Oddly Patrick McIlheran hasn't commented on McGee yet. I hope he's saving his salvo for a future column.
