How many political shockers can we endure in one week? First Michele Obama is painted as a topless black slave on the cover of some magazine, then Clint Eastwood has an interview with an empty chair at the Republican National Convention, and now we've learned that Paul Ryan's girlfriend in college is African-American. Enough!

Deneeta Pope tells the Daily Mail, "Although I have a different political association to Paul, I support him and wish him continued success."

Deneeta and Paul Ryan still get along! Paul and his wife attended Deneeta's wedding in May and Deeneta describes Paul as "a very nice guy, a kind guy and a family guy."

Remember, Sarah Palin was having sex with a black former NBA star?

Republicans got a white looking Cuban named Marco Rubio to give a speech before Mitt Romney appeared last night and this story is also supposed to connect Republicans to minorities. I still consider these attempts epic failures. I choose not to give the Republican Party credit for anything.
