4. Ah, thanks. So, African people in Greece are the " homemade" food for the West Nile mosquitoes?

Cause all of Africa is along the Nile? Or all people from the huge continent of Africa are interchangeable?

Well, it makes a little more sense after your explanation, but it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

She doesn't really say there are too many, so it could have been just a very stupid and unfunny attempt at humor. But, I agree: She probably was being racist. At a minimum, she was playing into that type of audience.

Meanwhile. Greece sent her home, blowing years of training on her part. Yet, Romney hasn't fired the campaign advisor of his who made a racist remark in London.

And Matt Lauer interviewed the Romneys this morning without ever asking Mitten if he was going to fire his resident racist. In fact, the remark never came up at all.

Can you imagine if a Democratic campaign advisor had made a racist remark about a sitting Republican President while abroad? Lauer would have been like a dog with a bone.
