Sweet Justice

Alan Keyes is currently running for the Senate against Barak Obama. They're both African-American men, so it's kind-of a draw there... except, Obama has a white mother. Alan Keyes suggested that he was "blacker" than Mr. Obama, saying in regard to the experience of racism, "I have been wrestling with something all my life that perhaps Mr. Obama hasn't had to take as seriously." (Interview with Steve Malzberg, WABC New York).

Keyes has also condemned Mary Cheney, Dick Cheney's daughter, calling her a "selfish hedonist" who was condemned to Hell.

Well, Alan Keyes got an unwelcome slap in the face this week, on both counts. The girl on the left is Maya Keyes, Mr. Keyes's daughter. The girl on the right is not.

Sweet, sweet irony. Karma's a bitch, ain't it, Mr. Keyes?

Since when do political parents care what their kids think? Or even suffer for it?
Think Patti Davis, Ronald Reagan Jr, Mary Cheney...

Well, true. On the other hand, when the kids are good for the parents, they get pimped hard. Think about the Bush girls. Or the Kerry-Edwards children.

Of course, Keyes is a bit of live wire. He hasn't a chance of winning, having told the citizens of Illinois that they're not smart enough to pick their own Senator and that they're better off starving to death than living in immorality.

> Of course, Keyes is a bit of live wire

... which means that he is treated with a bit of tolerance, so he may get even less damage from this photo. If he could be a featured, invited speaker at the RNC with his views, then this photo will not get that much play for yuks.

More's the pity...

That's just too perfect
