YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

But yeah most people with connections to the country, as far as I can tell, pronounce Qatar "Cutter." My alma mater had a campus there so I had to hear it a lot from administrators and friends who taught or worked there.

Serious question: Why do you think she's ESL? Nothing about the way she speaks to me suggests she's anything but a native born Hispanic-american like me. I could be wrong but I see no reason so assume otherwise.

At one point she noted that she didn't know the English word for a distribution center.

Yes I remember that moment, hate to break it to you guys but that happens to bi-lingual people all the time. It really has nothing to do with what might be her "first" language and more to do probably with being nervous and only remembering how it was referred to while she was there in Puerto Rico. I am a native English speaker and occasionally have to think hard to remember how to say something in English simply because I am more used to hearing it/saying it in Spanish.

I am not trying to give anyone a hard time necessarily but I resent the idea that someone who is a bilingual Hispanic like me is assumed to be ESL. We're American, like you.

Agreed, and I'd go further in that nearly everyone finds it tough to speak eloquently or has momentary lapses of memory.

God that episode was perfect. Great balance between 'ok so she WAS smarter than idiots like Mook and it's really a bummer she got ignored for ~THE DATA~' and 'but she is also fuckin batshit and this is absolutely personal brand damage control as well'.

It's hilarious that Brazile was mad about the duck thing not because it's a stupid loving idea conceived by some idiot who hasn't interacted with a normal person in decades, but because she was implicitly financially threatened by a giant evil corporation. Dems in a nutshell.
