See where I'm going here...

Cause if I pinch him he screams!

That would be fascinating. Doubt he has much of a sense of humor.....


My husband would defend me if he got a chance, but generally, someone already lost a limb, at least figuratively. I have the temper in the family.

I seriously doubt Melania did, because, for one thing, the grammar was perfect. We know many immigrants, most very intelligent professors, and they all make grammatical mistakes at times.

Edit: If I were an immigrant in another country, my grammatical mistakes would probably be legion.

claim his poor wife was badgered by the rotten press.
He will actually use his wife to set up an attack that is already to old.

He spoke to her very s l o w l y to be sure her poor female brain could grasp his "complicated" questions.

Or both. Lauer is an ass.

I was born in France and still have a french accent. I hold a phD and two masters and yet, some people still speak to me as if I am an idiot. Nothing infuriates me more than somebody speaking slowly to me because they assume that having an accent means being dumb.

to lose my accent.

I sympathize totally. After all of these years and even with French nationality, les français persist in asking me where I'm from. Alsace ? Allemagne ? Scandinavie ?

Strangely, they rarely peg me as "anglophone d'origine".

Still, I suggest that if Melania had been male, even with a thick accent, Lauer wouldn't have dared to infantilize "him" in that way.

If he lets Manafort throw Melania under the bus, he loses even more support from women. Husbands defend their wives. They just do, or they pay the price.
