Mayor who sent watermelon e-mail says he'll resign

I'm not gonna show this imagine, it can be found by googling. But Uncle Bob's Take is this PC world is run amok. Everyone running around w/their shorts just a wee bit too tight for Bob's liking.

I contend that men nowadays are a bunch of wuss' tip toeing around as to not offend anyone.

I will say is this in poor taste, yes. He is our President and as an elected official this Mayor should have known better. But let the voters decide next election, don't resign. Apologize and move on. If not re-elected, lesson learned.

And back to the President. The PC outrage only surfaces when some ninny liberal is offended. Ever hear any of the pure garbage that today's Hollywood (Whoopi, etal) said about W.

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. (AP) — The mayor of a small Southern California city says he will resign after being criticized for sharing an e-mail picture depicting the White House lawn planted with watermelons under the title "No Easter egg hunt this year."

Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose issued a statement Thursday saying he is sorry and will step down as mayor at Monday's City Council meeting.

Grose came under fire for sending the picture to what he called "a small group of friends." One of the recipients, a local businesswoman and city volunteer, publicly scolded the mayor for his actions.

Grose says he accepts that the e-mail was in poor taste and has affected his ability to lead the city. Grose said he didn't mean to offend anyone and claimed he was unaware of the racial stereotype linking black people with eating watermelons.

Located in Orange County, Los Alamitos is a 2 1/4-square-mile city of around 12,000 people.
