Over at The Corner, there’s some discussion of this pretentious passage in a — believe it or not — Andrew Greeley column: “How many of the male readers of this column who are habitues of bars, locker rooms, commuter train bull sessions, pool rooms and men’s clubs have not heard the indigenous racial slurs of such environments applied to Obama?”

I don’t spend much time in locker rooms or “commuter train bull sessions,” but I have on occasion been seen in bars. I confess that yes, I have heard racial slurs used against Obama in a few such venues. I’m not sure, however, that this confirms much besides my rule that politics shouldn’t be discussed in bars.
