It's OK, his brother-in-law is Cuban. Lighten up!

[constintina]

You're right. Silly me.

What I find amazing is that he's claiming that he's always sold these cookies...that it's only recently that he started calling them "Obama cookies" or whatever.

What a dickhead.

Also, alsoname beat me to it, but my favorite part is the claim that he can't be a racist, because his sister married a Cuban and he didn't prevent it. Which is totally the gold standard of anti-racism.

I don't think I've ever been to that bakery, have you? I've been to lots near there, but not that far west so much.

And to everything you said: yeah.

I've never been to a single bakery in Greenwich Village. I tend to go to bakeries in Brooklyn, or upper Midtown, near where I work. Probably the closest I've been is a Chinatown bakery.

Which is why I'm not proclaiming, "I'll never shop there again!" since I wasn't likely to before, anyway. But I'll remember the name just in case I don't accidentally stumble in there when I'm looking for the Sullivan Street Bakery.

Can we run him out of town? Along with that jackass on the LES who made those "Obama is my slave" T-shirts?
