Shades of the Soviet Union. Run afoul of the PTB and you end up being sent to the nut house.

Had this event transpired during a republican administration, Democrats would be screaming for congressional hearings and fact finding trips. Please, can we send Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters to investigate South African Mental Health Facilities. That would be a riveting report.

People with hearing have been listening to Obama's BS gibberish for years.

Now the deaf have experienced the same thing.

I watched that with the sound muted. He clearly signed...”Be sure to drink your Ovaltine”

Ok, which is worse?

1) Hiring a fake interpreter or
2) Not screening the interpreter to find out if he was nuts?

This what happened. The only competent sign interpreters they had in South Africa are White. They didn't want a White person up on stage for the world to see so they grabbed the best Black interpreter they could find. He was it.

Instead of blaming the mental dullness of the phony interpreter, the people that hired him, and entire South African government, because it might give people the wrong idea of the competancy of blacks they chalk it up to "madness".
