Remember the Richard Pryor Live in Concert movie where someone in the audience was heard shouting "Preach, n*****, Preach!"? Richard Pryor starts laughing and then muses about what a white person would hear, and says in a "white guy" voice, "It's just some Negro talk dear, don't worry."

Representative Christopher Shays (R-Conn)gets the raspberry of the day for telling survivor Patricia Thompson after hearing testimony about seeing troops train a machine gun laser target on a little girl's forehead, "I just don't frankly believe it." "You believe what you want" she replied.

Unfortunately, that's how we got into this mess in the first place.
