Don’t let the door hit ‘ya

The Quad City Times editorial page has had enough of Alan Keyes.

Return to sender

Just two months ago, we welcomed Alan Keyes’ arrival in Illinois to take on Barack Obama. We figured it would show diversity of thought among African-Americans who too often are wrongly presumed to think and vote in lock step. We thought this out-of-state Ph.D. would elevate the political discussion.

Well, we were wrong.

Sure, he’s articulate, throwing around big words endlessly. But he inevitably devolves into an onslaught of vicious, inaccurate attacks.

In the end, he is simply another weird footnote in the long, strange history of Illinois politics.

We wish him a safe return to his home state of Maryland.
