Bush's cat India gets Indians enraged
By Indo-Asian News Service
Thiruvananthapuram, July 2 (IANS) Angry youths in this Kerala capital Friday burnt an effigy of US President George W. Bush, not because they are anti-American but because he has named his cat India.
Members of the citizens group Prathikarana Vedi assembled before the Kerala assembly saying that Bush calling his cat India was an insult to the country.
"This is a disgrace to our great country and this has come from none other than US President George W. Bush. This is nothing but an insult to India because there are hundreds of thousands of Indians in US, and many who occupy key posts in the White House," said M.A. Latheef, president of the group.
"He should make amends," Latheef added.
The members of the group walked to the front gate of the assembly building but were stopped by police. After a brief speech and some slogans, the members burnt an effigy of the US president.

They think that a cat with a Spanish name is an insult? Oh well... In a week or two, the same bunch will be convinced that the cat is Indira Gandhi reincarnated and worship it as a god.

It's a good thing he didn't name his pet cow, India.....
==========================================
No, the cow is, of course, named Hillary.

Well, it's a good thing the cat wasn't named after Hillary's Indian gas station attendant, Ghandi. : /

I had a cat that looked just like that and I named him "Kunta Kitty".
What are these folks going to do when they find out what we call Native Americans.

Boy, I'm an equal opportunity offender. I've got an Appaloosa gelding named Indy, another named Prez, a mare named Egypt, and a dog named Zuni.

Enough of this PC crapola. I will offend everyone. From the archives ---
MIDI - BOTH SIDES NOW
Every white guys honkey scum
and every blacks a lazy bum
Italians all are Mafia
Ive learned my history
The Germans started every war
each Catholic high school girls a whore
Colombians all deal cocaine
all Jews want things for free
Ive looked around and I can see
I'm glad we have diversity
I hate all people equally
I dont want anyone to live
next to me
Puerto Ricans love their knives
and athletes always beat their wives
The Mexicans all sneak in here
male dancers all are queer
An Asian woman cannot drive
why must a towel head be alive
A rednecks IQs fifty five
the Irish chug their beer
Ive looked around and I can see
I'm glad we have diversity
I hate all people equally
I dont want anyone to live
next to me

I feel their pain. President Bush should rename his cat "Hellhole".
No, wait. That still describes India.

Geesh! If someone in another country named their beloved pet "U.S.A." I'd feel flattered. Not angry. Maybe these folks need to lighten up!

These people run around and starve to death rather than slaughter a cow for food who has free rein in the cities. Yet, they protest over a name based on a perception of an insult. They're the demoncRAT party in disguise. These turkeys should be more worried about the bloody islamics in their country.

As Ronald Reagan said, "There you go again."
P.S. I love it.

"He should make amends," Latheef added.I never would have thought that Indians would or could rise to the American level of whining. Is this world getting pathetic or what?
