Next time you see 900 pounds of meth walking thru the desert, be sure to let us know, comrade.

Certainly Comrade-eyes-shut-tight. Not seeing the 900lb gorilla does not mean it didn't cross several times a week. How do thousands upon thousand of people cross each week but not drugs? How dumb is that comrade?

You need to educate and wean yourself away from dopey talking points that make one look unintelligent or even worse, stuck on stupid.

MSNBC's Katy Tur: George Washington a 'Native Son of New York'

By Mark Finkelstein | February 19, 2019 9:08 AM EST

Barack Obama is going to have to school Katy Tur on the famous sons of all the 57 states . . .

If ever there were a famous Virginian, it is George Washington. Born and raised in Virginia, Mount Vernon was, of course, his historic home.

Yet somehow, a confused Katy Tur has claimed that Washington was a "native son of New York." Her embarrassing gaffe occurred today on MSNBC, as Tur handed off the MTP Dailyhour to Ari Melber and The Beat.


Video newsbusters.org

KATY TUR: The Beat with Ari Melber starts right now.

ARI MELBER: Hi, Katy. I wanted to wish you a happy Presidents Day.

TUR: You know, it is George Washington Day here in New York, unlike the rest of the country, because George Washington: native son of New York.

MELBER: Big up, big New Yorker. East Coast.

TUR: That's right.

MELBER: He was known as an East Coast one.

TUR: He was New York's big papa.

Melber seemed almost to agree with Tur, calling Washington a "big New Yorker." But he twice referred to Washington as an "East Coast" person. You sensed that perhaps Melber didn't want to humiliate his ill-informed colleague. Though Washington spent time in New York and enrolled his stepson in King’s College in New York City, he’s obviously not a “native.”

Keep this kind of mind-boggling ignorance in mind the next time you hear a member of the MSM condescending to Middle America.
