Sandoval Not Worried Because Kids "Do Not Look Hispanic"

Nevada gubernatorial candidate Brian Sandoval (R) "did indeed say that his children don't look Hispanic" when asked by a Spanish-language television station "whether he was worried about his kids being profiled if they were in Arizona," Jon Ralston reports.

Sandoval twice denied making the comments but they "are on videotape, I have confirmed."

This certainly fits Kinsley's definition of a "gaffe."

4. But it doesn't matter because it doesn't affect him or his.
Not a very-good prospect for a governor -- but then, no one with an R after their name is.

2. Mine don't look latinoistic either
but most jackasses couldn't differentiate a dark haired bavarian from a slovak from a mexican from an african fly tailed swallow.

5. Right, not if the MSM gets ahold of it, rather ...
if the MSM for some reason decides to run with it.

9. Score one for White privilege. It is also a blatant act of not caring about those who "don't pass".
Edited on Thu Jul-29-10 06:29 PM by political_Dem
After all, this jerk asserted his skin-color privilege to prove he was "better than" those who weren't of a lighter hue.

Way to go. :sarcasm:
