Carr: Elizabeth Warren, take my DNA challenge! Prove you're an Indian!

There is only one way to settle once and for all the question of whether the fake Indian is or is not a real Indian.

She needs to take a DNA test.

I dare you, Sen. Warren. It only costs about $200. If you insist, I’ll pay for it. In fact, I’ll take one myself. It’s easy. Just swab the inside of your mouth. Check my photo on the left, I’ll show you how to do it.

No more of this fact-free nonsense about your “high cheekbones,” or these ridiculous fables about your parents “eloping” to escape the racism of the Indian Territory when they actually returned to their hick hometown that same evening for a traditional wedding party.

The only explanation you haven’t trotted out yet is that you instantly knew you were an Indian when you first heard Cher on the AM radio belting out “Half Breed.”

It would be great publicity for your new 2016 presidential campaign book if you finally come clean. Plus, what’s the downside, if you’re so positive that you really are an Indian princess?

If only there were a DNA test to check whether or not a Black guy is really an American...

...sigh...

Well, he’d never take it, anyway.

[yldstrk]

but but but her “pepaw” had high cheekbones...............

[Salamander]

Where is my “Solutrean” test?

[willywill]

whats hilarious to me is that she says she is 1/32nd indian, and there is an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer says newman is 1/64 mayan.
so we have a senator that in all seriousness makes that claim and a sitcom uses the same idea as a joke.
and by cosmo Kramer to boot.

[hal ogen]

This dishonest freak may hold that she is 1/32 indian, but she is 100% idiot.

[upchuck]

The gauntlet is down. Come on Lizzy. Time to put up or shut up.

[upchuck]

Bump to the graphic. That’s perfect!

[stilloftyhenight]

I have high cheek bones and I’m NOT American Indian.

[ansel12]

The test won’t detect 1/32, unless it has greatly improved in recent years.

[Zuse]

What is Affirmative Action all about? Genotype or phenotype? Percentages? Who makes the decisions?

My Mother has a Great Grandmother who was Cherokee.

My Father is full blooded Norwegian, so I am 1/2 Norwegian.

I look Norwegian.

I do not claim to be "Native American".

The thing is, she thought that she was an Indian, because that's what her mother told her. Then she forgot that she was an Indian. Then, when she was applying for a professorship, she remembered that she was an Indian. Happens all the time.

[dandiegirl]

Kind of like when BO thought he was born in Kenya and wrote it in his bio, and applied for school as a foreigner then remembered that he was really born in Hawaii when he wanted be president of the USA. Gosh that memory thing is hard on these people.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks RightGeek.

I also have high cheekbones. My one Indian ancestor lived in the 1700s. That’s really hitting the way-back button!

Howie’s producer and fill in host Sandy is a Hillary lover. Howie and Sandy are both fans of transgender advocate Richard Tisei. And another fill in host, David Hunt, voted for Obama because he think Sarah Palin is a fool. And Howie’s attacks of Kerry Healy was a big reason Deval Patrick is gov of Mass. Howie Carr isn’t far behind Warren in the lack of integrity department.

My Mother has a Great Grandmother who was Cherokee. My Father is full blooded Norwegian, so I am 1/2 Norwegian. I look Norwegian. I do not claim to be "Native American".

Well, yeah, but you aren't applying for a job at Harvard.

[Dan(9698)]

Well, yeah, but you aren't applying for a job at Harvard.

True enough.
