racial epithet makes news

[Jonathan Lighter]

CNN reminds us that some time ago Michael Steele, the now-in-hot-water
Chairman of the Republican National Committee, concluded an informal
statement by saying, "Honest Injun on that."

Acc. to the report, Steele "caught lot of flak for using what is often
considered to be - what *is* - a racial epithet."
