GOP Governors Who Don't Support Porkulus Payments Are Racist

Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina has a theory about GOP Governors who aren't excited about accepting Porkulus payments:

Representative James Clyburn held a roundtable meeting to discuss how the newly-signed stimulus package will affect South Carolina.

He said not only would it create jobs, but also repair roads and bridges around the state.

Clyburn also had some strong comments for Gov. Mark Sanford on why he thinks he opposed the stimulus.

“The governor of Louisiana expressed opposition. Has the highest African-American population in the country. Governor of Mississippi expressed opposition. The governor of Texas, and the governor of South Carolina. These four governor’s represent states that are in the black belt. I was insulted by that,” Clyburn said. “All of this was a slap in the face of African-Americans. It had nothing to do with Governor Sanford.”

The U.S. has a black belt? So what does that make Michigan, Illinois and Indiana, the black collar?

And, are we going to have to go through this nonsense every time a GOP official shows less than total love and adoration for something Obama wants to do?

This is going to get very annoying.
