The Montana Senate's top Republican is a classy dude.

Journalists don’t know the meaning of a “holiday.” No matter whether it’s Christmas or Easter, there’s some lonely reporter pumping out copy for tomorrow’s newspaper. But roaming the halls of the Capitol, I’ve heard more than one disgruntled comment about Montana’s Legislature working on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a federal holiday

“No one in the Negro caucus objected,” Senate Minority Leader Corey Stapleton joked.

(Uh, for those that don’t know, there are no black lawmakers in Montana.)

4. I think the Old Chris Rock monologue on Arizona's MLK snub applies

Who wouldn't want a day off?
As for myself, I dig the MLK holiday.
I don't have to spend myself broke, prepare an elaborate meal or
fireworks barrage, make a costume, buy chocolate or anything else.
It's a welcome break after the capitalist horrors of the Christmas season.

Like Democrat Party. Let's watch and see if Fox News starts calling blacks Negroes.
