It was bad enough when Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bill Scranton's now-ousted campaign manager, James Seif of Blue Bell, called Scranton rival Lynn Swann "the rich white guy in the race."
(Swann, a former Pittsburgh Steelers star and former television sports commentator, is black.)
But then Seif went on to compound his boneheadedness when he tried explaining what he meant. Seif said Swann is the insider candidate while Scranton is the "insurgent."
Just great.
When the public hears the word "insurgent" these days, they think of suicide bombers or those who plant roadside bombs.
Is it any wonder that Seif got tossed?"
