[deadair]

he found out it was hopless... finally.


once the media starts dropping 'racist'... that is hard to fix.

Well, Jesse Jackson survived "Hymietown"...

 

[deadair]

don't get me started on that guy...

I think it's funny how Bush survived the potentially career-ending "Paki" insult because everyone accepted that he was too stupid to realise it was a racial slur.

 

[deadair]

that is funny...

 

[avi]

story linkage?

Jake? AIM?

 

[xfer]

About the Paki thing? It was months ago...let me see...

I really do believe Bush, though. Which is really sad.

 

[minxnim]

lott still hasn't let go completely.

Well, Jesse Jackson survived "Hymietown"...

Uh....sort of. He's still visible, but hardly what I'd call a political powerhouse. Telephone calls to the Taliban or whoever notwithstanding.

 

[azal]

remember when some political person was accused of being a racist for using the word "niggardly?"


that was the first time in my young life I realized how truly awful and stupid most American people are.

 

[FrostGiant]

That happend at UW-Madison too. One of the students tried to get a prof fired cuz he said that. And these are supposed to college students.

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah I tend to consult a dictionary before I petition to have people fired over the choice of words.

If I was Italian I would sue Burger King for the ethnically insensitive Whopper.

 

[deadair]

i thought about it azal...

 

[FrostGiant]

Shit, I think I'll sue Nabisco for crackers.

 

[xfer]

We prefer to be called Italian-American pigs!

 

[azal]

And if I was latin American....I'd be all over Spic and Span

By the way, avi, I'm sorry for wrenching this thread in a different direction before you could pick up on and make beer jokes about Trent Lott's "hoplessness".

 

[avi]

d'oh! totally missed it!
