What If Fox News Instead of MSNBC Had Pulled This Cinco de Mayo Stunt?

¡Ay caramba! Imagine the cries of offensive ethnic stereotyping or worse if Fox News had observed Cinco de Mayo by having one of its yanqui persons of pallor staggering across the set in a sombrero while chugging from a pint bottle of tequila?

But it happened on MSNBC, so the PC police probably won't make a peep about it. At the today's transition from Way Too Early to Morning Joe, there was producer Louis Burgdorf with his Halloween-store sombrero and pint bottle. Way Too Early host Thomas Roberts encouraged Burgdorf "to drink the whole thing and eat the worm," meaning either it was mezcal not tequila or Roberts just doesn't know his south-of-the-border booze.

¡Ay caramba! Double-standard Cinco de Mayo ping to Today show list.

Nobody watches MSNBC. Those who do don’t care.

[Izzy Dunne]

If anybody watched PMSNBC, it would be a big deal, I suppose.

As it is, nobody noticed.

[ExCTCitizen]

More people heard about that stunt on Free Republic than saw it live.

Cinco de Mayo is a phony “Hispanic” holiday institutionalized by the liberal media. It isn’t observed in Mexico.

[silent_jonny]

I'm guessing this isn't an uncommon sight at that network. Gotta get through the day somehow.

[Arrowhead1952]

I don’t know why people make such a big deal about stinky tamales every May 5th.

Oh wait, never mind.....

[C210N]

I find the holiday quite appropriate, and celebrate each year as an opportunity to collect out-of-date expired jars from the fridg of the white stuff, and shoving it all down the sink.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Roberts probably meant something else by “eat the worm”.

[GeronL]

In other words, nobody saw it?

It’s not racism if they do it ?

[GeronL]

Stink of the Mayonnaise Day??

Bah! That was nothing, they should have had Jose Cuervo playing in the Song Rotation!

Well its Sunday morning

And the sun is shining in my

Eye that is open

And my head is spinning

Was the life of the party

I can't stop grinning

I had too much tequllia last night

Jose Cuervo

You are a friend of mine

I like to drink you with

A little salt and lime

Did I kiss all the cowboys

Did I shoot out the lights

Did I dance on the bar

Did I start any fights

Now wait a minute

Things don't look to familiar

Who is the cowboy whos sleeping beside me

Well he's awful cute

But how'd I get his shirt on

I had too much tequllia last night

Jose Cuervo

You are a friend of mine

I like to drink you with

A little salt and lime

Did I kiss all the cowboys

Did I shoot out the lights

Did I dance on the bar

Did I start any fights

All those little shooters

How I love to drink them down

Come on bartender lets have another round

Well the music is playing

And my spirits are high

Tomorrow might be painful

But tonight we're going to fly

Jose Cuervo

You are a friend of mine

I like to drink you with

A little salt and lime

Everytime we get together

I sure have a good time

You're my friend, you're the best

Mi amigo(Tequllia)

Jose Cuervo

You are a friend of mine

I like to drink you with

A little salt and lime

Did I kiss all the cowboys

Did I shoot out the lights

Did I dance on the bar

Did I start any fights

Jose Cuervo

You are a friend of mine

The “liberal” left will celebrate any tradition other than American Judeo-Christian Western Cultural traditions.

"Cinco de Mayo is a phony 'Hispanic' holiday institutionalized by the liberal media. It isn’t observed in Mexico."

FWIW, I learned that it is both truly an American and Mexican holiday, arising from an unlikely victory in 1862 against France in Puebla during the American Civil War.

Cinco de Mayo

Could you share a source to support it being a "phony 'Hispanic' holiday institutionalized by the liberal media"?

[treetopsandroofs]

FWIW, I learned that it is both truly an American and Mexican holiday, arising from an unlikely victory in 1862 by Mexico against France in Puebla during the American Civil War (while the American Civil War was occurring).

(Small clarification).
