Uppity!

And there you have it ladies and gentlemen. It sure didn't take long.

Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland:
"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

Asked to clarify that he used the word “uppity,” Westmoreland said, “Uppity, yeah.”

The Obama campaign was careful in its response, probably treading lightly for fear of accusations of playing the race card.
The Obama campaign, asked about the quote, did not note any racial context. “Sounds like Rep. Westmoreland should be careful throwing stones from his candidate's eight glass houses,” said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor.

And just think, we have a whole nine more weeks of this. Good times, good times...

We knew this was coming when they started with "presumptuous." It was only a matter of time.
