Not exactly, but close. Mr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., that is. The big shot who decides to argue with a cop and try to pull rank on him. Then, when he’s arrested for disorderly conduct, he cries racism. Figures.
What else is new? Barry, our alleged post-racial president, admitting he doesn’t know the facts, but immediately siding with Gates. Whoa. The only person looking good here, so far, is the cop. Until his bosses dropped the charges, making Gates look justified. It all would be silly if it wasn’t so sad.
UPDATE: The cop’s police report with addendum by a second officer who also heard Gates.
AND: VDH– "There were no winners in this comic tragedy — but one clear loser: last night, the president of the United States."
