MARK STEYN: He Said / VIP Said. “Professor Gates is now saying that, if Sergeant Crowley publicly apologizes for his racism, the prof will graciously agree to ‘educate him about the history of racism in America.’ Which is a helluva deal. I mean, Ivy League parents re-mortgage their homes to pay Gates for the privilege of lecturing their kids, and here he is offering to hector it away to some no-name lunkhead for free.”

I’d rather listen to David Hasselhoff sing Hooked On A Feeling. Or even Hoogie-Boogie Land.
