A local branch of the Alabama Republican Party put their foot in it over the weekend by posting an illustration of the GOP elephant to their Facebook page that very clearly featured Ku Klux Klan hoods. Lawrence County GOP Chairwoman Shanon Terry apologized Monday, blaming the offensive slip-up on some sloppy Googling.
What did they think those black dots were?
Oh, shit! That’s really insidious. I couldn’t tell the KKK connection until my eyes moved down to between the elephant’s legs.
They didn’t have a logo of their own and took the first thing they found with a Google search. There’s a reason you need copy editors.
Isn’t that the first place they’d look?
if they were not a tail gate staple before they will be now; along with great hilarity, fake french and accents, and general posh mockery.
now if we can get oz to do a charcuterie tray ad…
Pretentious? Moi?
Bud Lee-tay?
Oh I am so going to pronounce it that way now. It adds a bit of the - how do zee French say? - I don’t know what?
As fascinating as this conversation is, I have a dinner party to prepare for. I really must start on the horse de-overs.
Jenny say Kwa.
Rick Scott says that people shouldn’t be applying for jobs with the IRS, because as soon as the Republicans take over, they’re going to defund those jobs.
Or maybe crude-its?
I’m not the only person to say it that way!
My grandma always said “horses doovers”.
Actually, I think it may have come out as “whores-d-overs”. The problem with reading words you’ve never heard pronounced.
AARRGGHH!
To people like me who watch lots of cooking programs and read cookbooks like novels, not to mention who studied French in high school and college, the word crudité is utterly commonplace and not worth being beaten to a pulp, even a flavorful pulp that you can dip veggies into.
And yes, Dr. Oz is an idiot for many reasons, not just this one.
Give. It. Up.
Dad called them whores’ ovaries.
Okay, for a different Mr. Punchable-face; here’s Matt the Groomer Gaetz back in his high school haunts.
I studied Spanish. I wanted to study Latin, but my mom convinced me to take Spanish. I still wish I’d taken Latin, it forms the basis for so many words.
There’s an entire thread on “crudites.”
I heard a local radio ad where the announcer said “horse de ovaries”. The ad was for one of the fanciest restaurants in this ultra red town in the middle of flyover country.
