Ha Ha Ha Hal Rogers

Congressman Hal Rogers made fun of Chinese people.

At a party thrown by the distilled spirits industry (so, fine, maybe Hal was blasted) he told the crowd how hard it is to pronounce Louieville. Especially if you talk funny like those funny talking Chinese people.

The Appropriations Committee chairman went on to describe a dinner with “the Chinese ambassador, who spoke broken English but was trying to impress his staff with his knowledge of the U.S.” (Rogers didn’t specify which ambassador; China has sent three different envoys to D.C. over the past decade.)

The diplomat told his staff that they needed to know how to pronouce the name of the city where the Kentucky Derby is held, said Rogers:“‘It’s not Roo-ee-ville, it’s Roo-uh-ville.’ ”

Ha ha ha, Hal Rogers.

Let’s laugh some more, shall we?
