That's the ugliest thing I've seen since Hugh Rodham and Roger Clinton were in the news!

Is this a hate crime?

Yeah, I saw this in the news a couple days ago. Of course the picture in the paper there was black-and-white and fuzzy, so it was harder to see. Apparently no one was at all fooled and I suspect this 'disguise' simply made him easier to find and identify.

Something involving shoe polish, I think. It's been a while.

He'd probably get more years for the 'hate crime' than the bank robbery.

It was the white lips that gave him away. He was watching too many Al Jolson movies.

"This is absolutely regrettable that a criminal would make himself appear to be African-American".

What a shame that a criminal would be so improper!

John Lovelace, head of the local NAACP chapter, tells the paper, "This is absolutely regrettable that a criminal would make himself appear to be African-American".

Is he talking about Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?

His disguise would have worked if he voted 6 times while chanting "Stay out da Bushes".

HAHAHAHA! You beat me to it. When I saw the headline, the mental image was Gene Wilder with the shoe polish and the boom box thing. Ooops, apparantly that wasn't quite right. This guy looks more like...
