The Birdcage/YMMV

• Hilarious in Hindsight: The Reveal in the 2000s that hyper-conservative Sen. Strom Thurmond had an affair (and love child) with a black maid and that the revelation came out only after Thurmond had died.
• Unfortunate Implications: Senator Keeley apparently thinks it is just as bad that the girl who had been consorting with the late Senator Jackson was black as it was that she was a prostitute and underaged.
  • Though his concern is mostly with how the media is going to eat up such a thing, rather than finding it actually offensive himself. And of course, he's right.
