But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!
......Wilson clearly did not like being lectured and even rebuked by the brainy black president presiding over the majestic chamber.

Brilliant literary touch. Reads like the opening chapter to a short story or novel. Hard to tell if it's a parody of how ridiculous is the contention that Wilson's remark is racist, or if it's a serious rebuke of "white male" racism (nice touch having a woman glowering at the retarded backwoods good ol' boy). Guess will have to wait for the rest of the book to be published to find out.
