Perhaps a version of some 'Princess Bride' logic here being used by Pelosi. . .

We are racist; but we depend on not appearing racist; since this attack on Condi IS really, a racist 'call'. . .let's just give it to Byrd. . .because he is old. . .and he really IS a racist; and he makes a great scapegoat for the rest of us!

Turn up the heat/does not matter. . only Byrd, roasted on the platter. . .
