Just Think What He’ll Do As Majority Whip

JIM CLYBURN’S BROTHER PLAYS RACE CARD AFTER REFUSING TO DISCLOSE HIS ROLE IN CONGRESSMAN’S SHADY DEAL

FITSNews – December 19, 2006 – Here’s what not to say to say to a newspaper after it basically catches your family red-handed receiving $85,000 off of a pork barrel boondoggle pushed through by your Congressman brother.

“I’m not going to talk to you because I don’t think you like black people.”

Huh?

Anyway, that’s what Charles Clyburn, brother of U.S. Representative (and soon to be House Majority Whip) Jim Clyburn told The Sun News this weekend in refusing to disclose what he actually did for Five Rivers, an African-American “community development nonprofit” based in Georgetown, S.C.

Clyburn obviously doesn’t know that The Sun News is like “Mr. Black People” when it comes to major daily newspapers in South Carolina (personally, we here at FITSNews like to read our Isaac J. Bailey columns with an espresso and some Luther Vandross playing in the background, thank you very much).

Whatever Charles Clyburn got paid to do, though, it worked.

In addition to what he pocketed personally, his son’s architectural firm ended up getting nearly half of the $145,000 in federal funds that Congressman Clyburn secured in 2004 for Five Rivers.

Of course Congressman Clyburn claimed he had “no idea” his family members were involved in the deal, which reminded us of that Jerry Springer episode where they ask the fatass redneck trailer trash slut if she slept with her own uncle, and she says no, except then the uncle comes out and shows the crowd a pair of her truck-sized granny panties, at which point everybody starts fighting. But then again that’s every Jerry Springer episode, isn’t it?
