Lindsay Graham just said on Fox News that killing Obama did not make the United States safer. He is just a single terrorist.

She was called Harvard Law's first "woman of color". She started identifying herself as a Native American in publications used in identifying new hires in the 1980s. She stopped listing herself as such after she got the job at Harvard. Her explanation for why she listed herself (if not to give herself a leg up in the job world) was completely laughable. She took advantage of the system by claiming to be Native American, when she may be 1/32nd Native American though she cannot prove this. Beyond her own tortured explanation of the issue, it underlines the complete ridiculousness of affirmative action and Warren's liberal PC world that some woman who could not be more plainly white gets hailed as a woman of color and touted in the Harvard newspaper as a minority woman on the Harvard Law staff.

But: The Romney campaign has to get turned around. This week I called it incompetent, but only because I was being polite. I really meant "rolling calamity."

harvard stated it did not play a role in hiring her. there's your proof. the other stuff is useless. would i have mentioned it? nah, not really, who gives a shit what you are when it's so small? but the head of the navajo nation is 1/16th. so whatever, identify yourself however you want, who am i to say what you are? romney could call himself mexican i guess, too. he sure wants to.
