She actually felt the need to literally apologize for using this foul expression.
Does anyone think that Nina Totenberg, or anyone in the media or government or academy, would ever say, “I was — forgive the expression — at a gay wedding”? No, of course not; they would never give that such a slight, classifying it as an actual vulgarity.
But Christmas? To Nina Totenberg and the alien creatures who have, V-like, infiltrated and captured our key institutions, the word “Christmas” is now on par with a lower-grade racial slur.
FUNT
?
I’ll say Christmas Party, thank you.
Holiday Happenin’ just sounds too goofy.
Now don’t get me wrong...I cannot STAND her (never could), but when i saw the clip I thought she was being a bit sarcastic.
At the Final Judgment it will be interesting to watch the chagrined look on these people’s faces when they’re told forgeddaboudit.
She is one of the foulest of the foul.
A spot reserved for such as Eleanor Clift, Helen Thomas, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldbeg et als.
The expression doesn’t need forgiveness. Her condescension does.
From Wikipedia:
“In March 2010, Totenberg’s sister Amy Totenberg was nominated by President Barack Obama to the U.S. District Court in Atlanta”
Small world, eh?
Mike, this comment from the site:
“For the hag who invented the ‘Helmet-Head’ hairdo to be embarrassed it must have been some party! Oh, I’m sorry Nina, ‘forgive the expression’ Helmet-Head! I just meant that you look stupid!”
Believe me, I’m no fan of Nina or her network. But this was an official Obama DOJ event. You know and she knows there is no way that it was officially called a ‘Christmas party’. So I actually took this as her own small commitment to truth and rebellion against PC-speak to call it what it was, rather than what the hosting governmental organization would have wanted her to call it.
It was a facetious remark, not to be taken seriously.
It seems odd/hypocritical to me that people who can’t even say the word “Christmas” somehow find the time to go to parties for the event. After all, Christ IS the reason for the season. If it weren’t for Him, we wouldn’t be celebrating anything at the end of December.
I heard her say it. The tone of her voice sounded like she was mocking political correctness — maybe mocking NPR.
How would, “Nina, I was at, pardon the expression, a bar mitzvah.” fly on NPR.
Liberals are always begging forgiveness for “offending” somebody. They ain’t right in the head. It comes from doing too many recreational drugs.
The fact the Juan Williams was fired and this douchebag still is with NPR tells all you need to know about NPR.
A non-specific winter holiday gathering.
She is an evil, vindictive, Marxist tool.
