Of course, Chicago has corrupt politics because it doesn't have enough Anglo-Saxons |
|
according to CNN reporter outside of the governor's home. She said it stems from all the immigrant communities in the city.
She did add, "some say that," at the end of her little rant.

I'm descended from Minnesotan Norwegians myself. Luckily, they escaped to California before I was born so I was never subjected to lutefisk.

22. I'll send you some. It doesn't matter if you refrigerate it or not |

6. It's not the melanin content, it's the old 19th century divisions. |
|
The drunken Irish, the thieving Italians, and dirty Slavs, etc.
It's just amazing to me.:eyes:

have you ever read something so stoopid that you just stare at it for like 5 minutes, and then realize that if you say anything it will end in bloodshed?
yeah, i'm feeling that right now.

19. She phrased it the way Anglo racists phrase their little snide comments |
|
sorry about the redundancy of the words "anglo" and "racists"

24. Unfortunately, this tells me more about you than it does about what was said. |
|
For the record, I was asking because I do a daily post on things that catch my eye in the news. Outrageous quotes are part of what I like to include. I was trying to track down that quote you mentioned as something I could use.
That "cute" comment of yours, however, equating being an "anglo" with being a racist, does little for your credibility. I'll just watch for it and draw my own conclusions.

25. The woman is clearly too stupid to be a reporter. |
|
Is there such a shortage of reporters that CNN must keep her?
