So which story are you going to stick to? The first one where you claim she just picked it up by being there or the second one that she was adlibbing?

The real question to ask is what would happen to anyone that tried mocking a stereotype in front of a black or Hispanic audience?

Ann was on Hannity and Colmes last night discussing it.

There's not story to stick to. It happens quite by reflex and when it's something you can use to connect to an audience I'd use it. I didn't say anything about adlibbing anything that just came from your imagination like so much of your facts and views.

Keep trying to spin it your way Highway... I'll just watch you guys TRY to make this an issue from here on out.

I think it was an attempt at "tongue-in-cheek" humor, not intended to mock anybody. Unfortunately for Hillary, she has no sense of humor so trying to be even somewhat funny comes across as tacky.

As for Ann.......she was blasted on O'Rielly and her manner of speaking was condemned (sic) by the Republican pundit.

Darn I missed that! I see snipits of "fair and balanced" but I continue to watch - maybe I just need to clean less and watch more!
