Thank You, Toni Morrison
While still shaking my head in disbelief at Hillary Clinton's comments that she is continuing her campaign because "Senator Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again" (See Andrew Sullivan and Obsidian Wings for the "No Republican would get away with this" take. They're right.), I came across this quote from author Toni Morrison, from an online chat with Time, on her endorsement of Barack Obama: "I thought about voting for Hillary at the beginning. I don't care that she is a woman. I need more than that. Neither his race, his gender, her race or her gender was enough. I needed something else, and the something else was his wisdom." What a terribly, um, wise thing to say. More, please.
