THE (SEMITIC) NAME GAME

good link to an interesting talking point.

• one of my older (by seven years) peers , a G.M. at a hotel in the quarter , cant even call barack obama by any other name than osama bin laden.

while i will admit early in the election cycle which seemed to last for ever this time around ,

• i was only fuzzy on saying barrack or obama i never called the man osama.

again it seems that all my peers who work in the quarter and live in jefferson can't stop this tourettes type lingo.

it reminds me of the lenny bruce riff where L. B. J. is trying to say negro.

while your post is a good talking point i think it's just preaching to the choir at this point.

what do you think?

thanks rick

The name game again. During the last campaign a friend of mine, who should have known better, actually believed John Kerry's middle name was "Francois"!
