Don't I recall Junior buddying up to Pat Buchanan at some point last year? Oh yeah, and wasn't there something about an audience of 5,000 Teamsters "heatedly cheering" <http://www.salon.com/politics2000/feature/2000/04/13/wto/> Buchanan's warning to China: "You stop persecuting Christians, you stop threatening my country, or you guys have sold your last pair of chopsticks in any mall in the United States"? Just rhetoric, right - nothing racist in the chopstick remark, no trace of Gompers' Asian-bashing?
