Cain: How do you say that in 'Cuban?'

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Surrounded by much fanfare, Cain enjoyed a pastry at the restaurant's bakery, asking at one point with his mouth full, "How do you say 'delicious' in Cuban?"

He could have meant to say, "How do you say that in Cuba?" Meaning that even though Spanish is the spoken language, linguistic nuances do exist within different cultures who share the same language.

In the south, most people say things like 'you speak Mexican?' and don't distinguish between the country and the language.

Obviously he can't be president now that he won't carry the Latino vote.

I would think he has established his credentials because Americans are suspicious of people with book learning or who know where Libya is

They equate sophisticated with 18th century French - foreign - and that's why a smart guy like President Obama has to be Kenyan - wherever that is - probably Arabia or somewhere

Personally I am sick of the ignorance and stupidity and it's time we grew up and recognized education and knowledge and admired people who have it, because without it, the country is going back to cotton pickin' (if the Chinese aren't growing it)

..and the rat-like cleverness of his apologists make it even worse - it makes a virtue out of deception and half truths and it isn't clever at all

Come on America and be known for real smarts - not this stuff

Absolutely true, si man. Not long ago, there was quite a lively thread in another forum about linguistic differences between the various Latin American countries. Even contiguous countries have terms that are alien outside the particular country.
