Let's begin with what appears to be every Republican's favorite topic: "The Clinton-Gates." I am beginning to get bored with hearing how the Clinton Administration worked in a circus-like atmosphere, with poor moral judgment and how Monica's limelight was dirty, yet millions viewed in to hear all the details. The Clinton family could not catch a break through their entire term as "the level of hostility directed against Clinton by punditocracy big-feet was truly a wonder."

But according to a producer for NBC "...there is no profit in people of color." Even respected journalists have admitted that their bosses specifically told them to "not feature people of color".
