Cherokee Genealogist Demands Elizabeth Warren Tell the Truth

Elizabeth Warren’s attempt to claim Cherokee ancestry in order to manipulative affirmative action laws for personal gain has not only damaged what ought to be an easy victory over republican Sen. Scott Brown in deep blue Massachusetts, but she has also managed to anger a Cherokee genealogist who demands she fess up to the truth.

I am thoroughly amused in by the ways the political left’s obsession with race gets them into hot water. I am further amused when they do not get a chance to weasel out of it solely because they hold progressive principles. Whether warren will ignore this or engage in intellectual gymnastics remains to be seen, but I imagine she will ultimately get away with it. Maybe not beat brown in November, but she certainly will not lose over this matter.

I do not really care about any of this, by the way. I just wanted to post asleep at the wheel’s cover of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys “Cherokee Maiden.“ I am confident the only difference between Brown and Warren is a handful of IQ points in his favor.

Oh, look--the video is from before the Dixie Chicks were persona non grata in country music.
