"The first thing I think of when I hear the phrase "Brown Sugar" when applied to a black woman is the Rolling Stones song, and it is EXTREMELY offensive to refer to Condoleeza Rice in such terms. It is rude, it is crude, and I cannot imagine any prominent black woman being called "Brown Sugar" by another figure without that second figure being publicly pilloried. But Trudeau gets a pass.

I've been letting this brew in the back of my head ever since I first heard of it a week or so ago. Then when my favorite writer, one of only three authors whose work I've bought in hardcover at full price, praises Trudeau, I couldn't sit quietly.

If I went over the top, I apologize. I don't apologize for my opinion, though, and I still think Trudeau deserves some pillorying for putting those words in George W. Bush's mouth, if he won't apologize for it.
