I admit I felt bad for the Virginia governor yesterday (despite the fact he's a Democrat and for that alone he deserves to suffer miserably for eternity). After all, when are you supposed to behave like an idiot, if not in your youth? What's the other option, to behave like an idiot when you're elected the president of the USA? Yeah right.
Quote:
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's medical school yearbook page surfaced Friday, containing a photograph of two unidentified men — one appears to be wearing blackface standing next to another in a Ku Klux Klan costume....
Northam released a statement earlier Friday afternoon apologizing for the photo, saying, "I am deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now."

Of course wearing blackface or KKK costume can be offensive only from the Democrat point of view, but from the photo above you can see why all Democrats started pissing their pants and demanded that Northam resigned (if he does,
he'd be replaced by a black dude - now, that'd be an ironic twist). Anyway, today I got a migraine headache from facepalming too hard:
Quote:
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, said during a press conference Saturday that he did not appear in the racist photograph from his medical school yearbook page that surfaced on Friday...
Northam said Friday he is pictured in the photo.
But on Saturday, he changed the story. "I believe then and now that I am not either of the people in the photo," Northam said.

Srsly? Doesn't he know that
first you are supposed to say you
don't remember, and
then miraculously remember it and feel bad,
not the other way around?
Also, an additional argument in his defense was
worthy as well:
Quote:

Northam admitted that he darkened his skin using shoe polish to perform as Michael Jackson in a dance conference in San Antonio that same year. He said he did not find it "unacceptable" at the time, but he now does. He said that he believed the yearbook photo was more offensive and "horrific."

So basically, his defense was: "Your Honor, I did not rob that gas station, because the same year I robbed a bank."
And yes - I know all Democrats are idiots (otherwise, they would be Republicans), but this one, oh boy, he takes the crown!
