Tablet, appreciate the Tebbit explanation. Still think it's nonsense in the same category as Teddy R. We could test it. Have Tebbit come over to a Chicago St Patrick's day and pick a 2nd generation Irishman drapped with an Irish flag drinking green beer and singing Irish songs and tell him that he's a traitor to America. Resulting conversation shouldn't last too long.
Eating MacDonalds doesn't kill you?? I beg to differ
