You know, when the good ole boys are alone together, they lean back in their power chairs, admire the heads of dead animals on their walls and gently toss about racial and gender slurs like a badminton ball.

But sometimes they forget where they are.  And then they have to come up with excuses of why they said what they said if they said it at all because they can’t recall but if you do recall what they said they guess you might be right but they didn’t mean no harm about it even if they did say it.

It sounds complicated, but it’s not.

Robert Cluck

Meet Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck.  Yeah, like a chicken.

Cluck referred to the Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Meeting as “a bunch of Mexicans.”

Cluck told FOX 4 that he doesn’t remember using the phrase in question.

“That’s just not a term I would use,” Cluck said.

However, the mayor also told FOX 4 that if enough witnesses said that he did, then he would have to believe that he did indeed use the phrase “a bunch of Mexicans” to refer to a meeting for Latino officials.

“I am totally colorblind, always have been,” Cluck told NBC 5 Local News. “If I said something to offend people, I am sorry.”

See, that was easy.

Thanks to Iris for the heads up.
