Sharpton Slams Cain For Calling 'Cuban' A Language—Ignores Obama Did Same With 'Austrian'

Say, Al Sharpton: if Herman Cain lacks "intelligence" for colloquially referring to "Cuban" as a language, how about your guy Barack Obama . . . who did precisely the same thing when it came to "Austrian"?

On his MSNBC show tonight, Sharpton mocked Cain, alleging he lacked "intelligence," for asking in an aside while munching on a Cuban delicacy, "how do you say 'delicious' in Cuban?" Does Sharpton not know that Barack Obama, in a much more formal setting, addressing a NATO audience, said something virtually identical, wondering how a certain phrase was said "in Austrian"?

That’s akin to saying, “What’s the British word for ‘elevator’”?

(Just because it’s late at night here on the East Coast, that would be “lift”).

Maybe it was a joke that went right over Sharptons head. Cain was mocking obozo.

This coming from a rabble-rousing race pimp who butchers the English language.
