Rich whities in their natural habitat
I laughed so hard I almost did a spit take on my morning newspaper when I saw this story about a mistake in a candidate’s name on Chicago voting machines:
It’s the typo to end all typos: Illinois gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney’s name is misspelled as “Rich Whitey” on some electronic-voting machines in Chicago, and officials say the problem can’t be fixed before election day.
Maybe he should have stuck with “Richard,” or chosen “Dick” or “Rick” as a nickname. (I’m not blaming the victim–I’m just sayin’.)

That might be the most honest thing to happen in Chicago politics in a long, long time.

I”m not too sure that “Dick Whitey” would have been much of an improvement.
That is hilarious!

Finally! Some honest politicking, by mistake of course.

Totally hilarious! He’s the Green Party candidate and the error isn’t in all of Chicago’s voting machines–but one wonders how all the news coverage may affect voting.

This is too funny. Really seems like a Chicagoland thing, too. Rich enough to run for guv’nor, so he won’t need a bag man. No bliss, no blige…

“Rich ‘Dick’ Whitey” would cover all the bases…

I never get tired of rich white doodz. With all the rage, and racism and entitlement, and I don’t know how I’d ever understand anything without mansplanations for all phenomena. Rich Whitey gets my vote every time. Though more seriously it makes me kind of sad that this error happened to the Green Party candidate, since the green party is lots more diverse than the others.

HEE-hee, sophylou and all. I agree with Perpetua that we rarely have the opportunity not to vote for “Rich Whitey.”

Reminds me of when I went to a faculty get-together hosted by Richard Gentry, and when we couldn’t find it the helpful directions-lady we asked then inquired if we were part of “the Rich Gentry group.”
