I believe the phrase is wrong side of the bed, not rock. I woke up just fine and want to let everyone know that John McCain is the next president,

Wow, uneducated, non-politically savvy voters. I'm sure he had to search REALLY hard to find them. Based on everything I've heard from BOTH sides the past few months, there is more than enough ignorance to go around. Fortunately, there are also more than enough informed people voting for the right reasons. Also, just because they aren't aware of his positions doesn't mean they're only voting for him "because he's black", as Stern accuses. I love that constant accusation. Democrats, especially the less-informed ones, tend to vote strictly along party lines. Did anyone accuse them of voting for Bill Clinton because he was white? Being black really helped Alan Keyes, didn't it? I wonder how many of these same people would even know Alan Keyes existed? Nonsense, they must know...I mean, he's fricken black!!!
Then again, when has anything ever uttered by Stern been above garbage, brain dead humor?

Learn ~ Thank you!!! it is so very true. 40% of Black's sre voting for Obammie because of his skin color. They don't have a CLUE what his policies are all about and quiet frankly could care less. They will vote for a Black man because they think he will "save" them. It is ridiculous!
The dumbing of America!
This election has done one thing................it has gotten Black's to "register" to vote.

This should be of NO surprise to anyone who knows Don personally. He is a very, very, mean man -- not the kind of person that you'd want to be around unless you had to be. I just can't figure out why it took so long for him to be "outed" by the media for the vicious woman-beater he is.

Hello Shea i think you might have incured a bad day for Mr Cornelius or a possible rejection! Mr C has done a pletera of things for a multitude of Artist to help promote them and his show of course that either could not apear or where not allowed to.He had to be firm and run a tight ship to be respected in this town as a african american male a pioneer as it where in the time.

Don allowed and relished having both Mainstream and Artists that where not allowed on other tv dance programs because of their music type or their ethnic backround.
and Ja unless you have been with him personally how would you know him on a sexual level? surely you would not Juge a person by Gossip?
