Laura Ingraham changes a young Mexican man's life

[Enrique]

She just shared the most inspiring story on the radio, about how she sat next to a 28-year-old Mexican-American man on an airplane. She bravely overcame her natural fear of people that speak a language in addition to English, and engaged into conversation with him.

By the end of the flight, she convinced him to start going to Mass again, to marry the mother of his child, and to have that child baptized.

Like I said, it was very inspiring. It makes me want to go out and find my own Mexican to whom to show the light.

3. I'm reminded of Boondocks

Robert 'Granddad' Freeman: How many times have I told you you bet' not even dream of tellin' white folk the truth? You understand me? Shoot... makin' white people riot. You better learn how to lie like me. I'm gonna find me a white man and lie to him right now.

11. Old technique for a captive audience of one.

One I've used myself on occasion. Just agree with everything the annoying person says, while pretending your attention is really elsewhere, and hope that they'll get bored and STFU.

[treestar]

12. Sort of like Dr. Laura

Loves to tell others how to live their lives.

:puke:

Lets all go out, find republicans, convince them of the error of THEIR ways. Maybe we could get this country back on tract. Do you think??

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. She bravely translated "No habla Engles" into going to mass, marriage, and adoption.

And, "Pinche puta" into "Thank you very much."

17. actual transcript of the flight conversation

Laura: Boy such a long flight and those bathrooms are so nice.

Man: Ah…

Laura: Is it true what they say about Mexican men?

Man: I ah... have many children

Laura: Oh but your not married are you?

Man: No... But I plan to get marry to the mother of my children really soon.

Laura: But you're not married now and it's such a long flight.

Man: Please I'm a very religious man.

Laura: But you are going to church now.

Man: Oh but I plan to as soon as we land. Yes I plan to jump off the plane and baptize all my children. Yes a giant wedding/baptism ceremony infact. So please strange lady just let me finish watching this very exciting episode of "Friends".

18. Now she's off to do a nationwide tour of her ability to walk on water! nt

[BlooInBloo]

19. Boy - when they attack, it's en masse!

[Sapere aude]

20. Maybe next time she could learn something from the Mexican person.

It is a truly successful end to an obviously dysfunctional life when a person does not go to church and does not marry the mother of his child and to have the child baptized then changes his mind and becomes respectable, Weeping Jesus on the cross, can there be no other life style that is OK?

[AspenRose]

21. Well that was mighty white of her

I can imagine her next flight: "Oh Stewardess, I speak jive."
