Only white women allowed to speak for GOP?

When you watch Conservative opinion leaders on TV - most of whom are white male TV and radio hosts or just plain old white men in general - has it ever struck you as odd that almost all the female Conservative opinion leaders are white? Think about it for a moment ... which women do Conservatives, NeoCons and Republicans rely on day to day to get their message out? Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Michelle Bachmann, Liz Cheney, Dana Perino, Laura Ingraham, Mary Matalin. You could have mentioned the token Michelle Malkin at one time but Fox News fired her. Uh oh ... she's ASIAN!
Name me ONE black, Hispanic or Asian woman who is prominently and regularly praised, consulted, featured or introduced as a LEADER of and/or by the GOP. How many non white women were guest speakers at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference last week?

Something is wrong with this picture.
