Scott Brown's Victory: "The Return of the Macho Man; the Revenge of the White Man"

An excellent article in Le Monde on Scott Brown by Corine Lesnes.

Excellent article, that is, until the last paragraph. That's when we learn that "the Hollywood victory" of the (rather sympathetic) Republican is due to… racism (sigh)…

Les démocrates n'ont pas fini de digérer la victoire hollywoodienne de Scott Brown. Certains y voient un retour de bâton après 2008. Le retour du macho. La revanche de l'homme blanc. Avec une camionnette qui consomme 15 litres aux 100.

Apparently, at Le Monde, it is inconceivable for anyone to be against Barack Obama, or to vote for anybody who is in BHO's party, unless (!)… one is a racist!

Note to Le Monde:

Americans are against debts, deficits, and other irresponsible monetary policies if they are undertaken by a black man…

Americans are against debts, deficits, and other irresponsible monetary policies if they are undertaken by a Republican…

Americans are against debts, deficits, and other irresponsible monetary policies if they are undertaken by a woman…

And Americans are against debts, deficits, and other irresponsible monetary policies if they are undertaken by a member of the white race…

Americans are against debts, deficits, and other irresponsible monetary policies.

Period.
