White House meet: Crowley’s idea, or Barry’s?

I keep seeing Big Media stories about how it was Cambridge Police Sergeant James Crowley who suggested that he and Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Barry smoke the peace pipe Thursday over a, uh, Budweiser? (Jaysus, can’t they come up with a better beer? Shiner would be okay. Even Dos Equis would be preferable.)

But, so far, all we’ve seen, all I can find, is this Monday CNN report with two of the Cambridge PD’s black officers backing up the sergeant that the ever-after obfuscating Gates was disorderly. No mention of Crowley shopping for a new suit for the White House meet. I haven’t found a single report quoting the sergeant agreeing to this at all.

Makes me think that, so far, it’s an Obamalot- and media-driven scam. If not, I wonder what they would talk about? Would Barry and Gates apologize? They both owe Crowley one. Do they have the decency? Nothing they’ve done in public yet suggests it. Time will tell.

Truth, please, not beer and apologies

The race-baiter Gates, who I earlier nicknamed Tawana Brawley since it’s apparent to me that he’s trying to lie his way out of some unpleasantness he caused, is already out there puffing himself up. "This Is Not About Me," says the headline quoting him at Drudge. Of course it’s about you, you creep. Race hustler of the year.

His cohort in obfuscation, Barry his ownself, wants Gates and Sergeant Crowley to come sit down, apologize to each other and have a beer. I’m with Professor Jacobson at Cornell. I want the truth, not Kumbaya, and, so far, I’m siding with the Cambridge PD. Policing-while-white has become as much, if not more of a problem then driving-while-black. I’ve had enough of slime like Gates who cry racism every time things don’t go their way or someone calls them on their misbehavior. Besides the cops need all the help they can get.

Cops are the real endangered minority in this country. They are the thin blue line between the law-abiding and the thugs. Cops never know what awaits them when they answer a call. They dare not let creeps like Gates yell abuse at them in public and get away with it. It’s not a long step from people doing that to taking shots at them. That’s, in part, what the disorderly conduct laws are about. And even snobbish, lying Harvard professors have to obey them or go to jail.

UPDATE:  Indeed, the Cambridge police commissioner says Big Media got the story wrong from the beginning and continues to report the same primary racial error.

AND: Gates has amended his Inkwell Foundation’s 2007 tax return to account for the misrepresentation of $11,000, thanks to the work of blog Riehl World View. There’s still the matter of a $6,000 payment to his girlfriend. Naughty.
