Holy fuck

From the Dallas Morning News Trailblazer blog:

While a number of speakers -- such as Railroad Commission chairman Michael Williams and Mike Huckabee -- have praised the advance of Barack Obama and what it means towards a colorblind society, at least one vendor hasn't gotten the message.

At the Republican state convention, a booth hosted by Republicanmarket was selling a pin Saturday that says: If Obama is President will we still call it the White House.

I'm speechless.

. . . just to be clear, the problem is not that someone printed up a button like this, or that people are willing to buy it and wear it. We expect that. the problem is that this was being sold by an official vendor at the Texas Republican state convention, the Texas State Republican committee says that had they known about it, they would not have allowed its sale during the convention, and not a single conventioneer thought it objectionable enough to say something about it.

Not one single delegate to the Texas Republican convention so much as gave this a second thought.
