WASHINGTON
– Activists at a conservative political forum snapped up boxes of
waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as
a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its
top flap.
Values Voter Summit organizers cut off sales of Obama Waffles boxes on
Saturday, saying they had not realized the boxes displayed "offensive
material." The summit and the exhibit hall where the boxes were blah-blah-blah.

If
you haven't seen it yet, which of the above is the culprit? I cut
the other two caricatures from the first two Obama political cartoons I
could find. So, what's offensive? Calling him a
waffler? There is no Aunt Jemima Liar Mix to parody, so it has to
be waffle. Is it offensive because both Aunt Jemimah and Obama
Rama are Black? Then why? Oh, I see. It's offensive because
someone deigned to draw attention to his ... chronic waffling.
I'll take ten boxes.
