(18,402 posts)It was a good gesture and a good statement, as one would expect of any governor whose constituents were gunned down in their house of worship.
(But even though I'm feign to make a comment, I'll go ahead anyway: that looks more like a do-rag than a Sikh turban! Maybe it's what the outsiders are given to wear.)

(47,675 posts)I'd wager anything that Walker doesn't have a fucking clue that the Sikh head covering is there to contain their uncut hair. I'd wager anything that rMoney doesn't have a fucking clue what a yarmulke stands for. They're both pulling a Dukakis in a tank here. It looks stupid.

(47,675 posts)On a side note, we have an annual fall festival near our house. We like to take the dogs down (one at the time, this was clearly more than five years ago based on the youngest's age). She's a LARGE border collie. Despite looking like Tommy Chong, as I was walking her on a choked up lead, I kept noticing guys diving off to the sides to avoid her. Finally, I turned to my wife and said, "They're all holding and they think she's a cop dog." It kept happening. I was rather amused.

Don't debase the discourse like this. You sound just like FOX people reading from a teleprompter as they attack Obama for reading from a teleprompter.

(29,381 posts)and NOT because of the Sikh Head-covering... something about the asymmetry of his face, kinda reminds me of Alfred E. Neumann.
