“Look,” says Diddy in his new Diddy blog update. “I know that it sounds a bit suspicious that Senator John McCain referred to Senator Barack Obama as ‘That One.’ We must always be watchful of our language and its potential to dehumanize. I would strongly appreciate an apology to us all. But whether McCain meant to demean or simply misspoke, I believe we should focus on the myriad of pressing issues rather than play up the potential subtext of a stray statement. It is far better we ignore such trivial lapses, so that we may shine a brighter light on the dangers of McCain’s proposed policies. We do need a cool hand at the tiller, and it is Barack Obama who shows this desired temperament. Let us learn from his example.”
Just kidding. Diddy’s seriously pissed over McCain’s ‘That One’ crack, and says he finds the Republican nominee “even scarier than Sarah Palin.” So why isn’t he shrieking?
