Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh

This may be a bit of popular apocrypha, and I'm not going to claim it's a true story, but I couldn't let it pass. From Andrew Sullivan:

So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"

Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."

There's an element of psychological truth to this that inhabits all of ouir popular myths, and it's a nice antidote to the Palin portion of the McCain/Palin campaign.
