In the clip below, New Zealand TV presenter and caterwauling moron Paul Henry has a bit of a laugh over the name of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. “What’s her name? Dick- shit?” Henry howls. “And it’s so appropriate because she’s Indian so it should be dick-in-shit, wouldn’t it?”

Henry’s colleagues repeatedly correct him, saying that the name is pronounced Dix-it but Henry continues to yell “dick-shit!”

The video has caused an international incident. According to the Times of India, New Zealand has issued a formal apology and TVNZ reports that the Indian government has lodged a formal compliant against their anchor. They also report that Henry has been suspended without pay.

What a surprise! A glass of ice water reminds you of Mr. Olbermann. A field of sunflowers reminds you of Mr. Olbermann. You’re obsessed with Mr. Olbermann.

If this happened on CNN or MSNBC, the Thought Police running those joints would all have a collective coronary. But they have no problem calling people who want responsible government teabaggers and racists. Those “usages” are apparently perfectly acceptable in the “mainstream” media.

You got that right.

Anyone remember the Japanese guy named “Shitake?” I first saw the name in print and had a heck of a good time trying to prounounce it. For a while, I was certain that was the Japanese word for “constipation.”
