Farrakhan and Parking Tickets
12 September 2006
Yesterday's Washington Post ran a story on Keith Ellison, a Democrat running for an open House seat in Minnesota's largely Democratic 5th Congressional district. If elected, he'd be the first Muslim elected to Congress. The article tiptoes around the issues surrounding his religious affiliation and focuses instead on the various attacks Ellison has faced -- ties to Louis Farrakhan and parking violations. The Post, however, is a step ahead of the other big dailies which have yet to even acknowledge his story. But surely this will all change if Ellison emerges with a victory in today's primary election -- we'll just have to wait and see.
