I don't love that this woman isn't chided for using "Arab" as a slur.

Other than that - great moment.

but I'm afraid I remember one of his debates with Candidate Obama when he referred to him as "that guy."

I really thought it was a rather "childish" way to talk about a fellow Senator and a person to whom you are showing respect.

And yeah, there was the "running mate" thing too....................

None the less, I wish him God's peace.

And the reminder that there are tens of millions of people just like that woman. Racist and dumber than a bag of hammers.
