Orientals? Isn’t that a little insensitive? They are properly referred to as Celestials - protected group number 11

Eleanor Roosevelt was a pleasant appearing women.

Of the left? Yes way left.

For a quick review of unpleasant check out H. Clinton at any age.

Also note the people in the back of the photos, not the paid coat holders. With Eleanor they mostly look relaxed, Hillary, not so much.

Be glad the left does not have an Eleanor today, she was good. Very good!

Folks.....it wasn’t just the funny names that caused the laughter (which is usually good). It was the SERIOUSNESS of the reporter who read the story and names, never realizing what she was saying. Sorry, after such a sad accident, a little levity is sometimes refreshing.

“SEOUL, South Korea Asiana Airlines said Sunday its reputation was damaged by a report on a San Francisco TV station that used bogus and racially offensive names for four pilots on its plane that crashed earlier this month and is considering legal action.”

I didn’t say so the article did, which I was quoting without quotation marks.

Act concerned, admit nothing and make immediate counter accusations

This great opportunity for the airline to divert some attention from the crash.
