Default Nikki Haley laughs off Time’s Sikh joke
Can you imagine a reporter asking Obama if he gives bigger tips to black people or if Lieberman gives bigger tips to Jews?..

Of course not...would never happen...

But for a Republican?...

She handled it with grace...I can imagine cursing internally...

Nikki Haley laughs off Time’s Sikh joke


Quote:
A bizarre question about whether Nikki Haley gives bigger tips to Sikh taxi drivers has the media buzzing about Time magazine’s recent interview with the South Carolina governor.

Haley, who has been on a national media tour to promote her new memoir, “Can’t Is Not An Option,” sat down with Time editor Belinda Luscombe to discuss a variety of issues, including the 2012 presidential race and the Occupy movement.

It was at the end of the sit-down that Luscombe asked, “In New York City, which you’re visiting for a couple of days, a lot of our taxi drivers are Sikhs. If you get one, are you going to give them a slightly bigger tip?”

Haley, who was raised in the Sikh tradition by her Indian parents but converted to Christianity, seemed unfazed as she responded with a laugh, “Oh, I give the same tip to everyone.”

These reporters don't even pretend to hide their bias anymore, it's out there in plain sight. GEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZ Louise, can that be a more stupid question or what?

My response would've been "Did you get this job by winning a raffle?"...

last week I read a report that said Ms. Haley was about to be indicted for tax fraud. Today I was wondering why, if she was about to be indicted would Romney have her on his short list. I started checking out the report and found that it came from an unknown blogger in South Carolina and it turns out not to be true at all.

The IRS is looking into some irregularities at her father temple, or church but it doesn't involve her.

The truth doesn't matter to these reporters anymore, they have decided that obama is going to have another four years come hell or high water.

They're pleading with God, "Please, please let us zombify, just this once? C'mon, divine wrath and all that jazz."
