Note to All Democrats
Just to be perfectly clear, the answer to every question about mp3gate is:
The audio files in question were downloaded from a public website in the context of a political campaign for Governor of the largest and most diverse state in the country. Just because the Governor did not want those tapes to see the light of day, and his own staff was not competent enough to properly protect them, does not mean downloading them from a public website was in any way inappropriate. What is inappropriate, and what is the only thing that matters in all of this, is what we all heard the Governor say on those tapes -- comments that are part of a pattern of casually racist and sexist remarks. What we need in California right now is leadership that will help us move toward a functioning multicultural society. Caricaturing colleagues based on their gender and race is just not helpful.
That's pretty much it. If people could start saying something like this that would be really awesome.
