In a startling development The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has joined the Crayola Corporation in denouncing recent Republican slurs being hurled at Sen. John Kerry for his recently adopted orange tint. "It's now very clear," said Kweisi Mfume, President and CEO of the NAACP, Republicans have a serious problem with people of color in America and this kind of 
discrimination cannot stand.
Echoing those statements, Rand A. Price, Vice President, East Coast Marketing for the Crayola Corporation said, "There are many colors of Crayola Crowns in every box - 16, 32, 64 and even 128 ...it doesn't matter. We make room for every one of them." The Crayola Crown Corporation is one of the largest donors of crowns, felt tip markers, sketch pads and coloring books to both the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP's High Commission on Strategy.
Reached for comment, newly appointed Kerry advisor and leader of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition Jessie Jackson made a committment to rename the orange swath in the groups logo in honor of Senator Kerry. Only twice previously has the group bestowed that honor. The swath formerly known as "yellow" is now called "yeeeeaaaallllow" in honor of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean and the Green swath was renamed "Kermie" for Kermit the Frog some years ago when the Henson foundation donated a large sum of money to Jackson and Rainbow/PUSH.
The Rev. Al Sharpton said he was outraged at the blatant racism of Republicans and said "there can be no doubt about it. I saw that picture on Drudge and that sure is one colored motherfucker. Clinton was our first black president and John Kerry is going to be our first orange president, only in America, Sharpton said, "Only in America could an orange man hope to be president." 
Reached at his retirement home in Florida where he now resides with his much younger third wife, alleged conservative and popular entertainment figure Garfield had a less surprised reaction. "I been orange all my life, yanno. It never stopped me from workin' in the biz, know what I mean, baby. I still remember when me, Sinatra and Sammy were breakin down doors in Vegas in the early sixties. This crap today ain't no big deal. Hell, I used to have to eat chopped beef off the floor in the kitchen when I toured, ever hear me complain? So I'm orange, if people don't like it, fuck 'em. Man it tore Frank up when they shot Kennedy in '63. did you know that? Sinatra, now there was a guy with class."
The Bush campaign was not available for comment as of this writing.
