The uproar over Kansas state Rep. Bill Otto's "RedNeck Rap" escalated yesterday when Kansas Senate Democratic leader Anthony Hensley called out Otto for the YouTube video's racial undertones.
In a statement, Hensley recalled that Otto once made a comment to an African-American staff member about shooting an African-American member of the governor's cabinet. Hensley was referring to Patrick Woods, a legislative liaison for the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, who claimed that Otto mistook him for Rod Bremby, Kansas' secretary of health and environment.
Woods claimed Otto said, "I almost shot you. You look a lot like Secretary Bremby."
Otto reportedly denied that he threatened to shoot anyone. He told Prime Buzz: "I did say 'I'd like to fire you,' and then I realized it was not Bremby. Of course you could call that racist. But If you do know them both, they do look a little bit alike."
This is Patrick Woods.

Like this wasn't totally deliberate. Come on...she's posing like a 16-year-old begging for people to view her myspace profile. "That's what I wear around the house"? What, bustiers from your Ren Fest costume?
No photoshop on my end. Took it from a CBS News story about the uproar the picture caused.
