While I am no fan of James "foot-in-the-mouth" Watt,
I find it interesting that the liberals who argue in favor of
affirmative action, reverse discrimination, quotas, and
who criticize Reagan for not hiring enough women, blacks,
etc., are now screaming for Watt's termination for openly
acknowledging his efforts to meet some quota of minority
staffing.  Granted, he lacks sensitivity, but at least
he shows the courage (stupidity) to publicly state what
many want, but are too timid to openly admit.
