I was looking on LexisNexis today and I found this...

I rarely read John Kass but from what I have seen I generally like his columns. Unfortuately this isn't timely enough. This column was written back in June.

Still I really like this column. Let me set it up for you.

Over the summer a Rhode Island congressman Patrick Kennedy was driving while intoxicated and was stopped by police after hitting a barricade near Capitol Hill in Washington. Here's a story about that from BreitBart.com.

So apparently Rep. Kennedy wants to be treated no different that a black person who just so happened to be in the Washington neighborhood of Anacostia. He said so. Look it...

He said he's prepared to endure "bookings, in terms of mug shots, fingerprints, whatever they might have me do."

"It's what anyone else would have done to them if they were an African-American in Anacostia," Kennedy said.

Near the end, he just so happened to talk to a former felon, Wallace "Gator" Bradley...

Wallace "Gator" Bradley, the former felon (since pardoned) and former muscle guy for the Disciples street gang. Gator has since gone into politics, and he remains a friend of imprisoned Disciple kingpin Larry Hoover.

"Kennedy wants to be treated like a black man by the police?" Gator asked me.

Yes.

"You're crazy," Gator said.

Maybe, but that's what he said.

"If he wanted to be treated like a black man, since he smashed up the Capitol, he should be prosecuted by a federal prosecutor. How you think he'd like that?"

Not very much.

"If a black man smashes up the Capitol, he's treated like a terrorist, and the feds would be all over him. But they didn't even give Kennedy a Breathalyzer. So he didn't get treated like a black man. He got treated like a Kennedy, dig?"

Word up.

"And there was Ted Kennedy and the woman drowned and he took off. A black man would still be in prison. Instead, he's a senator. How does that work?"

If you can read please do so. Perhaps you might like the dig he takes at Cynthia McKinney towards the end. It was pretty good.
