Special Report: The Death Of Rosa Parks
'Now We Can Finally Put Civil Rights Behind Us'
[the onion, priceless]
DETROIT-Nearly 50 years ago, Rosa Parks made history by refusing to give her seat to a white man on a segregated public bus in Montgomery, AL. This week, following the passing of the woman known as "the mother of the civil-rights movement," Americans from every walk of life-regardless of race, gender, or creed-can finally put the subject of racial equality behind them, once and for all.
"During today's service, America not only bade farewell to a seamstress from Alabama," President Bush said at a special GOP fundraiser Monday evening, "America buried the idea of civil rights itself."
Bush added: "Today, that long-ago chapter of American history is slammed tightly shut, never to be reopened."
[more, all stingingly funny!]
