George bush is no fan of human cloning. But he may be forgiven for having second thoughts in the case of Armstrong Williams. A fourth-generation Republican, Mr Williams is such a fan of Mr Bush that he has a red, white and blue picture of him hanging outside his office. And he is such a dedicated opponent of affirmative action that he is almost permanently on the airwaves railing against it. Mr Williams is also black. Mr Bush is determined to put a multicultural face on his party. He seldom appears in public without being flanked by non-whites. He repeatedly mentions the need to make amends for past mistakes. Blacks have reached higher positions under Mr Bush than they did in the diversity-obsessed Clinton administration (though Latinos have not).
