A One-Sided Affair

Michael Steele will be taking on Harold Ford, Jr. in a series of debates on the future of American politics for Black History Month starting tonight in Little Rock.
The event, dubbed "Left, Right, and Forward: On the Future of America" will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday night. According to the school, "the discussion by the two African-American political combatants kicks off UALR's annual Black History Month program."

"As prominent leaders representing both sides of the political spectrum, Harold Ford Jr. and Michael Steele will engage the audience in the most hot-button issues that will shape our nation's future," said Jan Austin, director of the school's Office of Campus Life, in a statement. "Anyone with an interest in politics and in the future of the country will want to attend."
My question is simple...who's representing the liberal position of the future of this country?  It sure isn't Michael Steele.  And it sure the hell isn't Harold Ford.  Something tells me that the only thing these two clowns will be debating is just how horrible Barack Obama is.

Seriously, this is two moderate black Republicans pretending to be Teabaggers facing off on which party is better able to capture the "We're not exactly thrilled with black people" vote.  What's the point, exactly?

It's embarrassing.
