From: Jack the Sailor http://beta.news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/rick-perry-serves-jose-cuervo-joke-latinos-151941561.html In an apparent attempt to invoke audience laughter at a conference of Latino officials in San Antonio Thursday, the Texas governor compared a Hispanic appointee to the state Alcoholic Beverage Commission--Jose Cuevas--to popular tequila brand Jose Cuervo, suggesting he was the right man for the job because of his name. I looked it up as best as I can tell cuevas is Spanish for caves. Cuervo translates to Raven or Crow. So I imagine that a Spanish speaker would hear something like "We made Joe Caves the head of the Liquor board because caves sounds like Crow." We need GOP contenders of this caliber! |
