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.
