This column by Michael Goodwin in the New York Daily News ends with one of the most flagrantly racist statements I've seen in print in a long time:

Referring to the TWU International president's backstabbing of Local 100, Goodwin writes: "That brings to mind three words the union should have remembered: Father knows best. That would have saved them, and us, a lot of trouble."

No, really, Goodwin does use the word "father." The Great White Father has come to tell the Little Black Children of Local 100 what to do. Goodwin really is too racially clueless to understand the implications of this statement. There's a certain synonym for "father" that applies to him, the TWU International president, Bloomberg, and Pataki as well: and that word is "motherfucker."
