Well, They Did Move on "Up" Afterall

In case you missed it in all the hubbub last night:
Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term "uppity" to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday.

Westmoreland was discussing vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech with reporters outside the House chamber and was asked to compare her with Michelle Obama.

"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”

Not only is the is this cracker a racist pos, but he doesn't make any fucking sense. Try parsing this: "They're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity." I count at least three grammar errors and one giant failure of logic.
