Jay Bookman writes in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that:

"According to his spokesman, U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, a Southerner born and bred, had no idea on earth that the word "uppity" had racial connotations when he used it to describe Barack and Michelle Obama.

Nope. Blago's still under scrutiny and his appointments-white and black-are too "hot" right now.
