Juan Williams used to be one of the most intelligent, thoughtful and entertaining of NPR's many fine commentators. But then something in his life, outlook, or perhaps his bank account changed.

In the 90s he punctuated his print journalism work with appearances on news talk shows. He hosted CNN's Crossfire for a bit and appeared on other talk shows such as the Capitol Gang and the McLaughlin Group. On these shows one doesn't really have to know a lot, one merely has to opine with style and/or attitude. It is television after all.

The car window sticker has a black oval background with McCain 2008 in white letters. As of today I have seen two of these stickers on cars in the Dallas area. Now I have no idea whether this is the "official" McCain window/bumper sticker. But I find the obvious racist message quite disturbing.

In this part of the country the black background and the white McCain 2008 tell a blunt story. It goes something like this. Well, my friends, I'm John McCain and I know y'all don't much care for me. I'm not your kind of conservative. I like to appear on the Daily Show with John Stewart more than I care to be on Hannity. And I've said some things in the past that I have now had to flip flop on so as to try to get your vote. But, my friends, I realize I'm not really making the sale am I? The Hagee thing which was supposed to bring all of your bible thumpers over to my side didn't really work out. So I was talking to one of my Rove clones and he said John you gotta level with these southern folks.

So my Southern friends that is how the black oval was born. And you know that I approve its message: that I am white and my opponent is black. Think about that a bit, my friends, and then vote white, oops I mean right...
