Latinos/Hispanics crack me up. After the Nevada caucus, various Mexican-Americans rooting for the Hellbeast went on television and pronounced her name like this: Heel-are-ree Cleen-town. Sounded like a bad remake of Sierra Madre. "Badges? Wee don' need no steenking badges!"

Not to mention the Hellbeast butchering the state's pronunciation just after winning. Uhh, lady, it sounds like Neh-vaa-duh, not Nah-vah-duh. There was a short news segment that prolly didn't make it nationally where she apologized profusely for sounding like the East Coaster she is instead of learning the right way to say Nevada. Let's hope she never has to canvas New Orleans sounding like a northern carpetbagger. "Hi! I'm Hillary 'Hellbeast' Clinton and I'm here in Noo Or-leens looking to earn your vote!"

Sheesh.

I don't care how you pronounce it, just as long as you vote with some knowledge and conviction.

He's one of the Asylum's resident Bush apologists. He doesn't have convictions.

They were making fun of Hills on NPR today, referencing her "great enchilada of the economy" and her "giant chimichanga of health care reform". I laughed, anyway.

I understand if you're mentally feeble enough to be amused by ESL pronunciations. I'm not morally outraged by your amusement or anything, I just can't conceive that it would be humorous to the point of "cracking you up."

What does bother me is that you felt it necessary to waste our time by starting a thread about it.

Totes is amused by anyone who had the simplicity of mind to emigrate to a new country and learn the language. What's the point of trying to better yourself?

There's a lot of things I could fault Hillary for. Her stance towards immigration is not one of them.

Oh, stop, you two. You're hurting my feelings.

What I can't enjoy someone's innoculous ethnic misproninciations? In defense of myself, I admit I am a non-discriminatory practical joker. Everytime I talk to my Minnesota born and bred mother-in-law I always steer the conversation towards a subject which causes her to say the word "video." In her native tongue-- upper Midwest English --she says it "vee-dee-o," like she's an extra in the film Fargo. That cracks me up everytime too.

By-the-by, trick, whatever happened to you always being nice and all? Get your karma immunity and BAM! You get all viscious and stuff.

Well, I have an avatar and am irrelevant, if it makes him feel better.
