"Cosmopolitan"

Oh, this is funny, but not in a good way.

In this week's TIME, Peter Beinart writes: "Our national vernacular is filled with antiblack euphemisms, but cosmopolitan isn't one of them. Yet when critics attack Obama, that's the word that keeps popping up."

Not an anti-black euphemism no, but I still think I recognize that one...

How disturbingly ironic. Bill Clinton, of course, was our first black president. Is Barack going to be our first Jewish one?
