| Was I on crack, or did Zell Miller challenge Chris Matthews to a duel tonight? »
September 02, 2004
Occupiers Vs. Liberators?Attention liberal spinners (Sullivan, Kaus, Shamu, etc.): Yes, when you occupy a country, you are, legally and technically, "occupiers." Zell Miller wasn't drawing a contrast between those who correctly call an occupying force "occupiers" and those who call them "liberators." He was drawing a contrast between those who call our troops liberators -- occupiers for a noble and good purpose -- and those who call them oppressive occupiers for the pecuniary gain of Bell Helicopter, Halliburton, and GE. Between those who call them liberators and those who call them invaders who ravage the countryside like "Jenjis Khan." (Several searches of on-line encyclopedias have as of yet yielded no insight into who the great ravager "Jenjis Khan" might be. I'm still looking-- when I know, you'll know!) He was drawing a contrast between those who call our military heroes and those who call them war criminals, the sort of people who might be inclined to cut off ears, cut off heads, rape, blown (sic) up bodies, shot cattle and livestock without cause, fired indiscriminately at civilians, etc. Know anyone like that, spinners? posted by Ace at 01:55 AM
Commentstry looking for gengis khan. it's pronounced jengis khan Posted by: sid jones on September 2, 2004 02:28 AM
Um, it's usually spelled GHengis Khan, and I know that's who John Forbes Kerry meant. But it's not pronounced that way. Or, rather, it can be pronounced that way, but usually not by Americans. Americans who say "Jenjis Khan" are the same sort of "Americans" who say "adVERTisement" instead of "ADverTISEment." You know -- those putting on phoney, Kennedyesque faux-intellectual airs. Posted by: ace on September 2, 2004 02:44 AM
Hey Ace, here (in Portugal that is), we Ghengis like Kerry did, "Jengis". Now, i don't know if the French say it the same way but it is quite possible, our languages are related. So, Kerry is probably just saying Ghengis Khan in his native language, French! Posted by: madne0 on September 2, 2004 09:35 AM
Since the Jenjis/Ghengis thing keeps coming up I'll put in my two cents. In the mid-90's I did a two and a half year stint as an English/American History teacher in eastern Siberia (Buryatia) and Mongolia. This is where Ghengis came from and these people are his descendants(culturally and linguistically). They pronounce it "djengis", not "jenjis" and not "gengis". So Americans get it half right. Who knows where the "jenjis" pronunciation comes from. Posted by: dano on September 2, 2004 01:38 PM
