6. according to a local wingnut Boston radio talk show host

whose name escapes me (on WRKO prior to Rush):"hopefully it won't be another Kenyan, this marathon should be for American's only anyways so hopefully an American will win."
This was the topic, the Boston marathon should be made an "American Only" event to bring back the excitement and pride of it all that has been lost apparently. The host was taking calls and the gist of the calls was people were no longer much interested in this event anymore because it was becoming too "international" and foreigners were winning. Am I a being a hypersensitive politically correct lefty or am I hearing code words here? :shrug:

I am in Nashua, NH, btw, not CT and that is why I am hearing local Boston radio.
