Why Mickey Kaus Won't Renounce The Slogan "Incest Is Best"

Mickey Kaus is illiterate in two languages. The bitter blogger -- who proudly links to the racist messageboard Lucianne.com -- whines that the "one thing [California Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante] didn't do is renounce the slogan, 'For the race everything. For those outside the race, nothing.'" Of course, Bustamante never endorsed the slogan and, as Kaus was forced to admit, the language he quotes is a gross and presumably deliberate, mistranslation of the language found on some MECha websites. One can't renounce a position one never held.

Mark Kleiman has brilliantly eviscerated the fraudulent arguments of Kaus and his little friends on this issue. (Although I think Bustamante's ideal response to the questioning from the smear artists on FOX -- had he not been blindsided by the cheap shot -- would have been "you couldn't translate Spanish accurately if your life depended on it, isn't that right, you lying sack of guano?" Spoken in Spanish.)

Jon at San Diego Soliloquies also goes remedial on Mick's lily-white ass.
