Texas Rep. Betty Brown: Asian-American names are too hard to say!

Wow. "There's dumb, then there's Texas dumb!" said one commenter in response to Texas Representative Betty Brown.

This woman actually let these words trip happily out of her botox enhanced mouth:
"Rather than everyone here having to learn Chinese — I understand it’s a rather difficult language — do you think that it would behoove you and your citizens to adopt a name that we could deal with more readily here?"
And yet she wants to claim it's the Democrats who are trying to make this about race when they demand an apology (which she still hasn't given).

Oh those Texas Republicans! Always reminding us that while every village has a missing idiot, some idiots make a box of rocks on a log look damn smart...

Yeah we should totally go back to the days of Ellis Island where if an immigrants name was to difficult we just assign them one. Ooh and when people have children the Government should name them for us. Something monosyllabic so their ignorant brains can comprehend
