At a funeral service for civil rights leader Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth Monday, 90-year-old Rev. Joseph Lowery said that the Republican Party would be better off with more white leaders like Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R).

Bentley, who also spoke at the service in Birmingham, Alabama, recalled growing up as a white person in the Jim Crow South and praised Shuttlesworth for reversing “the teachings of a misdirected society.”

“The biggest challenge we have is for white folks — that Republican governor who spoke here, he ought to give leadership to the Republican Party,” Lowery explained. “What the Republican Party needs is leadership. They ain’t going to get it from Herman Cain. He’s going to say what they want to hear.

1. That's how politicians get elected. They tell whatever group they are talking to

what that group wants to hear.

Is that a surprise to anyone?

They will surely not get votes by pissing off their audiences.

2. Herman Cain, Godfather of pizza and King of Schuck and jive.

Can I hear an Amen?!!
