Essay 4513


Pleading innocent in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• Sen. Larry Craig hopes to flush away his infamous toilet-stall guilty plea, as his lawyers will meet with a judge today. Perhaps he can have the plea revised to “guilty pleasure.” No word on whether the senator will seek to revise his contention that he’s not gay.

• Bill O’Reilly is catching heat for remarks he made about Sylvia’s, a Black restaurant in Harlem he recently visited. O’Reilly said, “I couldn’t get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia’s restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it’s run by Blacks, primarily Black patronship.” Sylvia’s staff probably thinks there was no difference between serving O’Reilly versus any other ignorant bigot in New York City.

• Nike is creating a shoe designed specifically for Native Americans. The Air Native N7 has a larger fit for Native Americans’ unique foot shape, plus a “culturally specific” look. The shoe will be available at assorted casinos nationwide. Just kidding.
