In a previous article, niepornt@bird.Princeton.EDU (David Marc Nieporent) says:

>You tried to claim that Bill Clinton was racist for sending Chelsea to an
>all-white private school, and that the media was biased for not
>reporting it.  Except that the private school *isn't* all-white, and the
>media *did* report it.  

I plead guilty to posting before thinking.  In my original post I wrote:

*And to add to the hypocrisy - I wonder if the wonderfull unbiased media, which
*blasted Quayle if he happened to play golf one time at some obscure club which
*had no minority members, will give us a breakdown of the student population
*at this elite private school.  And if it turns out to be 99% WASP, will they
*splash across the front pages of the New York Times and Washington Post that 
*Bill has chosen a rascist institution to educate his daughter?  I WOULDN'T
*COUNT ON IT!

About 15 minutes after I posted the article, and before I received any
responses on my newsreader, I realized my argument rested on thin ice due
my use of extremes such as '99% WASP'.  I canceled the original article
(but obviously not fast enough (^:} ) and posted in it's place:

*And to add to the hypocrisy - I wonder if the wonderfull unbiased media, which
*blasted Quayle if he happened to play golf one time at some obscure club which
*had no minority members, will give us a breakdown of the student population
*at this elite private school.  And if it turns out to be predominantly white
*in an area of the country which has a high minority population, will they
*splash across the front pages of the New York Times and Washington Post that
*Bill has chosen a rascist institution to educate his daughter?  I WOULDN'T
*COUNT ON IT!

I don't think it's a racist institution.  I'm just sick of papers like the 
Times and Post acting as apologists for Clinton and thinking they can
shmooz the public by throwing out factoids like '... and the school has
a total minority population of 25%!  Gee, what a wonderfull President Bill
is!' 

It's the Clintons' right to choose whatever school they think is best for
Chelsea.  But he shouldn't pull out the old 'slick' act making statements
like 'The Washington DC schools are great.  The main reason we chose the
Friends school was security.'

BWAAAAAAAAAAH!

Come on, Bill.  The DC schools suck and that's why you didn't send her
there.  It turns out Mr. Shadow Senator from DC Jesse Jackson also chose to
send his kids to Friends rather than to the public schools in the district
he represents.  I can't wait until the school voucher debate comes up again
in Congress!
