Another day, another hayseed bigot getting caught with his racist pants down. This time, it's the small town / small time mayor of Airways Heights, WA, Patrick Rushing, who in a Facebook exchange called the First Lady "Gorilla face," and referred to the President as "monkey man." He added, referring to the President, "Check out them ears. LOL." When town officials called for his resignation, his dishonor refused, saying that resignation would be an admission that he's racist. After all, no racist says racist things, right? Here's a clue for him: the fact that you're a racist has already been established, it won't be confirmed by your resignation.
Rushing, a part-time bus driver, has had run-ins with the local law, having been cited for leaving the scene of an accident this past January, where he rear-ended another motorist with the bus he was driving. Expect him to be focusing more on driving that bus, rather than Facebook-ing, since the town council is considering measures to sanction his racist language, and perhaps remove him from office.
