Bloomberg tells us that Earl Butz passed away, the former agriculture secretary who surely uttered one of the most racist quotes of all time in 1976 (I’ll link to it from here and let you decide whether or not you want to read it verbatim).What a shame he wasn’t a radio talk show host about 30 or so years from that point into the future. If he were, he probably would have ended making a lot of money and achieved syndication throughout the country (h/t The Daily Kos – Butz probably would have been fired or suspended a time or two, but these people always seem to rise up out of the muck regardless).
