I think that he's laughing that Lott is categorizing minorities as something other than a man or woman.

It would take a couple of ME's to figure it that way.

:rolleyes:

Was there supposed to be a comma there or a hyphen?

I was listening to it on the news this morning. What he "inferred" was that the selection could be male or female to include minorities. His intent was clear, but one could take it out of context as our resident ME's have.

His intent was clear but it is a funny quote nonetheless, especially given his uhh...questionable history in this area. Everyone settle down and get over the faux outrage.

Ah yeah I get it. Kinda like "I voted for the Iraq involvement, and I voted against it." :hmmm:

I actually saw it on the Daily Show. Just passing it on to you because it was pretty funny. I guess Jon Stewart is a ME.

Maybe. I wouldn't know because I'm not a ME. I do have sense of humor though...

something you undoubtedly do not have.
