Black "Elvis" Endorses Wife Of "Black" President

This ought to help with the whole quiet backing away from the race issue that the race-baiting Clinton campaign has failed so spectacularly to exploit in recent weeks.

As the Obama campaign basks in the Kennedy glow, chief rival Sen. Hillary Clinton picked up an endorsement today from a larger-than-life southern entertainer known for his sideburns and white rhinestone-studded jumpsuit.

The name isn’t Elvis Presley, it’s Dwayne Turner, known locally as “Belvis, the Black Elvis.”

Prepare to shift in your seat uncomfortably.

Clinton, who jokes about having two left feet, shook her hips and did a little shimmy. She then gave Belvis a big high five, sparking applause from the crowd of mostly African-American long-time Clinton supporters.

“Bill Clinton was inducted into the black hall of fame. Like Elvis, he transcended race,” Turner said.

Still, as charmingly impromptu as this well-scripted bit of meticulous spontaneity may have been, Clinton may regret her decision to high-five... a *racist*.

He says he has liked the Clintons since 1982 when he was 12-years-old and Bill Clinton was in the early days of his governorship.

Turner says he was playing hide-and-go-seek at the state capital and snuck into a press conference with the then-governor. He says he raised his hand and asked Clinton why white kids got bused to their schools but black kids had to walk over a mile every morning. A week later, Turner says, his school got buses. “I walked right into the state Capitol with my nappy headed self, and I raised my hand and he called on me and he fixed it,” Turner says.
