There’s some semi-hysterical woman on Fox news by the name of Jeannine Pirro. In all fairness, I have to admit that I am not a regular viewer of Jeannine’s show. And by regular, I mean ever. And I am grateful for that.
Come to find out, Jeannine is a colorful person. She is a tough talking law-and-order former prosecutor whose husband spent 11 months in prison for tax evasion and conspiracy. She herself got into a bit of trouble when she tried to talk Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik into illegally wiretapping her husband’s phone and yacht to catch him doing the wild thing with another woman.
Now all this stuff would make you lower than a snake’s belly in a wagon rut in the real world, but in the world of Fox news, she’s a bright lights big city star.
And that’s because she knows things. And she is white. And she can spew without spitting, at least most of the time.
Jeannine has this whole police thing figured out.
First, whenever you say the word minority, you should put air quotation marks around it because, you know, minorities are not real. In Janine’s world, a black person is a so-called minority.
Second, the problem is absolutely not that the police need to be more sensitive to minorities. No, siree. Minorities should be more sensitive to the police.
Yep. She said that.
Pirro quoted Fox viewer ‘Jeff’ who wrote, “Why is it always necessary to tip toe around the minority community,” with ‘Larry’ writing, “No. Enough is enough. The general public needs to be more sensitive to the police and show them the respect they deserve.”
Pirro added, “I agree.”
Yeah, like wives should be more sensitive to their philandering husbands.
If, like me, you have been blissfully unaware that this woman walks the earth and is entitled to an opinion that is obviously not her own, have a look-see.

I suspect that Jeaninne will start having sensitivity classes for black people as soon as she meets a black person.
Thanks to Irene for the heads up.
