D.C. Gossip Blog Spotlights ‘Fiesta’ Flap

Some depressing county fair in Idaho decided its theme this year would be “Fiesta at the Fair,” as that seems exotic and fun (depressing). So of course the county GOP decided that this was an evil Messican idea. “Bonner County fair board Chairman Tim Cary said the fair was just looking for a theme that’s fun to decorate with, and the choice had nothing to do with official language or immigration disputes.” NICE TRY. The Bonner County GOP’s booth will say “celebrate” instead of “fiesta” and they have “asked Arizona officials for some license plates to put in the booth.” This gets more dumb and depressing, as you can imagine/ Wonkette (a Washington, D.C., gossip blog).

Question: I certainly don’t agree with Wonkette’s depiction of the Bonner County Fair as “depressing.” But the D.C. gossip blog is one of the big ones. How have the Bonner County Republicans hurt the image of North Idaho by their stand against ‘fiesta’?
