“NOT the Whiteman’s Bitch”

Uhhhhh… OK.

State elections officials Wednesday narrowly rejected a Milwaukee Assembly candidate’s attempt to run with the slogan “NOT the ‘whiteman’s bitch’ ” under her name on the ballot.

Ieshuh Griffin, an independent candidate with a history of feuds with local officials, said in response she would sue the state Government Accountability Board for infringing on her freedom of speech.

For the record, this statement is almost as nonsensical as the slogan:

Board member Thomas Barland, who voted to allow Griffin to make the statement, disagreed.

“She says a lot in five words,” Barland said of Griffin. “It wasn’t pornographic. It wasn’t obscene, and I didn’t interpret it as racial.”

Not racial?  Seriously?  This man is voting on these things?
