I’m getting a number of hits from people searching for a column I wrote mocking Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee called A Whole Lot Of Hot Air. Lee wanted whoever was in charge of naming hurricanes to consider “black” names like “Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn.” Self-esteem issues.
Since many refugees devastated by Hurricane Katrina are black, and Lee and her fellow Congressional Black Caucus cronies believe the slow federal response was because they were black, I wonder if she’s changed her mind? If you want to ask her, send her an e-mail or call her at (202) 225-3816.
(Bernard Goldberg quoted from the column in his latest book.)
Update: A reader asked if Katrina was a “black” name. Is it?
