IS MITT ROMNEY WHITE ENOUGH TO BE PRESIDENT?

As it turns out, Barack Obama isn't the only Presidential candidate dealing with issues of racial identity these days. Just as some have questioned whether Obama is "sufficiently black" to adequately represent the concerns of African Americans, a Mormon fringe group, calling themselves the "Albino Brigade," has raised doubts about Mitt Romney's "whiteness." According to Brigade spokesman Ezekiel "Skippy" Carpenter, "Although it is true that Mr. Romney and his extended family look whiter than a six-pack of Ivory soap on a sheet of toilet paper surrounded by a garden of cotton puffballs, it has also been documented that Mr. Romney enjoys listening to 'Soul Man' by Sam and Dave on his car radio, and, in a recent address at the NAACP state convention in Provo, Utah, claimed to be one of only 17 white people in America to know what the lyrics to 'Hold On, I'm Comin' really refer to."

As Mr. Carpenter put it, "In the absence of a denial by Mr. Romney of these accusations, the Albino Brigade considers him to be off-white. Vote accordingly."
