Politically-Incorrect Politics

From memory so, you know, it's not entirely accurate. The dramatis personae are The Wife (TW) and Me.

TW: Some people at work were talking about how cool it is that we finally have a president whose name ends in a vowel.

ME: ... I hadn't thought of that. (mentally runs through a list of all the presidents he can name.) That's true.

(PAUSE)

ME: I guess I always thought that the first person with a last name like that to be president would be Italian. You know, like Giuliani.

TW: Really? Why?

ME: Oh, you know, because....

TW: Because they're the whitest of the dark folk?

ME: Exactly!
