You Decide

When George Felix Allen used a term to characterize a young American and native-born Virginian whose parents immigrated from India, which term do you think he used?

I seem to remember Howard Cosell being demoted for a similar reference to an football player.

This is payback time, BIG time.

For years, my Virginian friends & family ragged me about Jesse Helms even though they knew I never voted for him and never would.

Oh, the fun at the next family gathering….

Jesse was at least home-grown, Felix is from California and his Momma is French Tunisian. The man rides Western and wears cowboy boots.

I find it *amusing* that his “claim” is that he wasn’t sure it was a WORD?!? But it’s also his follow up remarks – The “Welcome to Virginia”…as though this man was not an American or a Virginian which was equally offensive. But he’ll get the *Circle the Wagons – RALLY Round The Flag” Support from the usual GOPhucker suspects and pundits – no doubts on that.

As a sitting senator I can’t believe that he didn’t get a security check on someone who was following him around. That check, probably by the Virginia state police agency, would have told him that the guy was a native Virginian.
