"Bobby" Jindal

[kanesa]

Jindal failed last night. It had nothing to do with his ethnicity. Besides he is Asian Indian not Indian American. He doesn't belong to a tribe.

I think his inane reference was to some sort of liberal tribe.

The reason they seek out the Clarence Thomas' among us is blatantly obvious and doesn't serve them well in the long run. Let them keep on their present course and see what's left of the right in a few years. Don't expect to see Bobby back on the big screen soon, not after Fox panned him.

Yet it doesn't bother you when Swampy uses derogatory terms to describe your President? Why is that?
Perhaps I have not read all of Swampy's replies. I don't remember her calling anyone a "dork" which in my day was a very degrogatory crude word and still is to me.

What do you remember her referring to President Obama as?

I'm curious at why you and others that disagree with people's ideas or politics are compelled to call them derogatory names like "dork" etc. It seems like we can disagree with an individual without resorting to such street corner descriptions. Surely your education and personal lexicon can be less harry hi school than that.

Links please.

You made the statement. Back it up.

I don't remember her referring to BHO as anything. AND....the dictionary may have a definition now for that word...but in my day it referred to a man's private parts. A word only used in the alley.

Look it up yourself, you've been here long enough to know how.

The word is DORK, samintx. I have never seen it used in the connotation you have described and I'm pretty old.

Ok, I did some googling and samintx is right.

I remember the first time my son used the word over dinner I nearly fell over and repermated him and the girls to never use that word again. The kids were about in Junion High...the first time I had heard it used in polite society. They are in their 50s now.

If you have evidence that he is NOT a dork, feel free to present it here.

I hardly know the man but let me say this. Your tribe claims to be the sole voice of immigrants, the poor, the underprivileged, the downtrodden, the browns and the blacks. Ordinarily, they are infallible. They are the virtuous amongst us. They are the children of God. This country is blessed to have them here. Except. Except when they leave your heavily guarded reservation and stop drinking the Kool-Aid. That is when the guards in the watch towers open up. You see, the only good immigrant is a liberal immigrant.
The republican party is made up of: over 95% white males, over the age of 50, with no children.

Yeah, that represents us ALL.
