Tokens wanted...
I'm sure now that word is getting out about how George Bush's committment to diversity blows John Kerry's out of the water, the Kerry camp will move swiftly to rectify the situation. Applicants should be willing to demonstrate the following:
1. An ability to react indignantly to any suggestion that they were hired because of race. The fact that minority staff members suddenly started appearing prominently on Kerry's team after negative press about the lack of diversity is wholly coincidental. Suggesting otherwise is racist.
2. An ability to refer to Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Rod Paige, Mel Martinez, and other minority members of Bush's staff as not being really members of their respective minority groups, because it would be unseemly for the rich white guy at the top of the ticket to have to use the phrase "Uncle Tom."
3. A belief that minorities can do anything in this country...except see any merit to conservative or Republican positions.
Get your applications in now! Time is of the essence.
