Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) response to Donald Sterling being banned from the National Basketball Association and any Los Angeles Clippers events or management: sounds pretty good.
McConnell made the comments on Tuesday, just after news broke that Sterling had been banned from the organization and would be fined $2.5 million (the maximum allowed under the NBA’s constitution) in response to racist remarks published by the website TMZ.
McConnell called Sterling’s comments “outrageous, unacceptable comments.” On the punishments handed down by the NBA, McConnell said “sounds pretty good to me.”

I have now decided to leave my estate in Kentucky to Mitch McConnell.
Sterling obviously not a Mitch campaign contributor…
I can see it already:

That’s nice Mitch, but why don’t you extend your anti-racism to a more significant venue? Why not demand the resignation of Paul Ryan for his “inner cities . . . generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work” comment?
Yeah, but what does Mitch REALLY think?
