Title: Conyers concentrates on what's really important in Haitian relief

As John McCormick of the Weekly Standard blog points out, you just "can't make this up:"


Senior House Democrat John Conyers is demanding that Hillary Clinton demote Rajiv Shah, head of USAID, in which capacity he's leading U.S. relief efforts in Haiti.
Does Conyers think that Shah lacks competence to carry out the incredibly important task of saving lives? No. The Hill reports that Conyers is angry that Shah "showed up at a meeting with the 42-member Congressional Black Caucus without any African American staffers in tow."

Because what's important isn't saving lives, it's adhering to a race-based spoils system. It's not like there isn't "diversity" with an American of Indian ancestry Rajiv Shah heading up USAID. Nor is it likely that racism is playing a role in staffing. This is blatant race baiting on the part of Conyers - something he is an expert at.

I'm sure the Haitians care what race helps them.
