This is funny. Kind of a companion piece to your excellent post on the merits of learning Latin. :)

Rather an Understatement
Via Fox News:

An aide to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stormed out of a presentation by Victor Davis Hanson, author of the book Mexifornia about illegal immigration in California. The Pelosi aide, Federico de Jesus, said Hanson's views were racist and backed that up by accusing Hanson of being an admitted "classist."

Hanson is in fact a scholar of ancient Greece and Rome and had been introduced to the group as a, "classicist," a distinction apparently lost on de Jesus, who proceeded to storm out of the room, trying as he left to grab one of the pizzas that had been brought in for the participants. Pelosi called the whole thing a misunderstanding.

Not so much "mis" as "total lack of."
