Conrad Burns Apologized for Rag Heads - now this

Who's NOT Apologizing Now?

How about the idiot Senator from Montana over the job the firefighters in his state did in battling - this after apologizing in 1999 for referring to Arabs as rag heads and telling stories with "nigger" in them. He also once asked a woman who was wearing a nose ring what tribe she belonged to.

We don't like how crazy PC has gotten...but it's idiots like this who prompted the NEED for PC in the first place!

HELENA, Mont. - Sen. Conrad Burns (news, bio, voting record)' recent verbal attack on a firefighting team for its work on a Montana blaze angered some firefighters, drew harsh criticism in state newspapers and has left the three-term Republican scrambling to repair the political damage.

Burns, one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the fall elections, confronted members of a firefighting team at the Billings airport on July 23 and told them they had done a "piss-poor job," according to an official state report and the U.S. Forest Service.

The Hotshot crew had traveled 2,000 miles from Staunton, Va., to help dig fire lines for about a week around a 143-square-mile wildfire east of Billings.
