Republicans; Truth. Two vary different worlds

The career professional statistician who was promoted to head the Bureau of Justice Stastics has been transeferred and demoted. His "crime?"

He complained about political pressure to soft-pedal statistical research results regarding racial prejudices in police behavior during traffic stops.
Hey, if you can't get the statistics you want, fire the statistician. That's Republican "Truth."

Ken Mehlman of the RNC will, of course, use the resulting statistics to show that the Republican Party is the party of racial inclusion. Thomas Sowell will ignore the whole issue and Michelle Malkin will write an editorial about "Republican-bashing." Armstrong Williams will send a bill to the RNC before he writes his columns.
