their country.

http://vimeo.com/101737613 WATCH THIS VIDEO

Curt Clawson, a newly-elected Republican congressman from Florida, began his speech with the words: ‘I am familiar with your country. I love your country.’

"I'm familiar with your country; I love your country," the Florida Republican said. "Anything I can do to make the relationship with India better, I'm willing and enthusiastic about doing so."

Apparently confused by their Indian surnames and skin color, Clawson also asked if "their" government could loosen restrictions on U.S. capital investments in India.

"Just as your capital is welcome here to produce good-paying jobs in the U.S., I'd like our capital to be welcome there," he said. "I ask cooperation and commitment and priority from your government in so doing. Can I have that?"

He finishes off by asking Nisha Biswal and Arun Kumar for cooperation from the ‘Indian’ government, despite the fact both are American citizens who work for the Obama administration in the State Department and Commerce Department, respectively.

Ms Biswal lets Mr Clawson down gently by saying: ‘I think your question is to the Indian government, but we certainly share your sentiments.’

proper conversational technique doesn't involve gibbing at all. don't worry little buddies, you'll get the hang of it some day. maybe next time you're at the dollar store, buy a book instead of another assault rifle?

you know, I've heard of people doing this, but I've never actually heard someone say "muslin" thinking that it meant "muslim". is it something that's ever actually happened or is it just a shallow parody of racists or what?
