You blame it on the EQUIPMENT.

At least that is the approach taken by the Congressional Black Caucus’s official blogger in an interview with Doug Ross.

Doug Ross: There are more than a dozen videos of various portions of the walk both to and from the Capitol, and no one has been able to pinpoint any racial epithets. Even Rep. Jackson seemed to be videotaping. Do you think it’s concerning there is no evidence of the allegations in an age where virtually every second in public is taped?

Lauren Victoria Burke: What I think about recording in this situation… I really don’t know if the sound any particular sound would be picked up. Remember, a lot of these are flip-phones or small digital cameras, not exactly heavy-duty professional microphones. One thing that doesn’t come across is how loud it was out there.

A unidirectional mike wouldn’t necessarily capture it. It was a wall of sound and, while some of the tapes I’ve heard are better than others, I’m not that impressed by the theory advanced by Mr. Hannity and Mr. Breitbart that it had to be recorded to have happened…

In other words, we don’t have to have proof of our charges for us to declare our political enemies guilty of offenses that no one can document – we can blame our shoddy equipment for not catching the slurs that no one except us heard hurled, and thereby convict our enemies of the offense charged despite all their evidence to the contrary.

I hereby christen Ms. Burke the Queen of Heart – after all, she seems to have adopted that storybook character’s “Off with their heads!” philosophy.
