A while back, Bill O'Reilly had Harry Alford on his show, who is the Chairman of the Black Chamber of Commerce. Point of discussion was his appearance before a senate hearing on energy policy. Some of you may remember that Sen. Barbara Boxer played the race card immediately on Alford, trying to bring in documents to the debate from the NAACP. Alford was having none of it. Why did Boxer feel the need to lump all black people together? This hearing wasn't about the black community; it was about energy policy.

I have to say I agree with Alford. What the hell does a document by the NAACP being introduced into the record have to do with energy poliy or the Black Chamber of Commerce?

Answer? Nothing. Alford's response? You've brought race into an issue that has nothing to do with race. And it might be noted that Alford continually addressed Boxer as "ma'am," and not "Senator," as she'd previous required a Brigadier General to do.

What a sham Boxer is, and what a race pimp she has turned out to be. Alford saw through her, and it was quite a fun back-and-forth, with Boxer losing on all counts.

How's that feel, "ma'am"?
