Did anybody hear Dana Hersey's Finneran's Forum promo this morning, making fun of the way Michael Vick pronounces the word "ask"? Uh-oh. Dana, don't engage in hateful rhetoric about the man--he just found Jesus!

"Hersey bar" hasn't had an original thought in 40 years. Maybe he swallowed a bad almond.

I didn't hear Severin or Hersey, but I did see his "apology" on Keith Olbermann's "Countdown" TV show...and at one point, Vick said he was sorry for his ACTS, that is the deeds that got him in trouble.

Well, if we are going to make fun of ethnic mispronuciation how 'bout Eastern Eurpopeans who have a hard "G" = sing-ging, Long-guy-land; Irish immigrants who put "Hay-jes" where a soft "H" is correct; French/Italian residents of the state just below Massachusetts who say, "Row-Di-Land, and of course Asians who can't pronounce "R's".
We could go on but only Blacks take the brunt of the crazed right-wing nuts on talk radio.

Weren't there a couple of pretty well-known comics who made a living off of playing Eastern Europeans on Saturday Night Live for years?
Long-guy-land;
Every Jewish comedian in America uses that one, as does everyone on the radio making fun of New Yawkers.
Do you actually have a point here?
Irish immigrants who put "Hay-jes" where a soft "H" is correct; French/Italian residents of the state just below Massachusetts who say, "Row-Di-Land, and of course Asians who can't pronounce "R's".
All of these are pretty much stock in trade for a lot of entertainers. Hell, the Loren & Wally program hits on at least two of these categories every day (not counting the mildly perverted daily take on Mainers.) Luckily, those Irish, Poles, Ruskies, Eastern Europeans, Mainers, Italians and French don't seem to get as exercised about this as you appear to do. You must lead a pretty sheltered life. Where have you been?

You mean the month-after-month bashing of all those Black Mexicans coming into the country illegally? And lets not forget those Black Arabs. And, of course, soul sister Hillary Clinton and homies like John Edwards and Michael Moore. Guess I never thought about those.
Thanks for the heads up.
