Quote of the Week: Tom Tancredo drops out of the Presidential race

Jesse Walker at Hit and Run had this to say about anti-immigrant activist Tom Tancredo dropping out of the GOP Presidential race:

Tom Tancredo has dropped out of the presidential race. He will be replaced by Montezuma Aztlan Calderon, an undocumented worker from Oaxaca who will denounce the Brown Peril for just $3 an hour plus room and board.

Priceless.

Hat-tip: Andrew Sullivan
