"Absolutely in cattle class out of solidarity with all our holy cows" was what our minister of state for external affairs had said in reply to a question asking if he would fly "cattle class" from now on twitter. The poor guy has been taken to cleaners for it!!! It is like India overnight lost its sense of humour. My god people how can we brown people who are supposed to be really smart not get that simple joke!!!! Cmon we have more english speaking people here than in Britain so it's not like we misunderstood it!!!
I mean the " President of the free world " as Americans like to put it ...called Kanye West a "jackass" but has not got half the bashing that the former UN under secretary general Tharoor.
But " speaking your mind " appears to be the flavour of the season. Let us see..... Roger Federer the apparent " Iceman" showed us his best impression of what I like to call " the McEnroe Syndrome" . But the winner of best impression of the " McEnroe Syndrome " was undoubtedly Serena Williams with her rendition of the " McEnroe Syndrome " with a modern day sprinkling of "I will KILL you". I think Jeff Dunham and Achmed might considering a copyright infringement law suit against Serena. 
I mean the winner though has to be Kanye West for his interuption of Taylor Swift's victory speech at Video Music Awards. I mean seriously was some distrubed way of trying to say Beyonce I have a crush on you. I mean he really could not do anything right beacuse next he went on a talk show with Jay Leno and broke down .... are you kidding me !!! The show you are suppose to go cry on is Oprah !! Even I know that!!! I mean seriously talk about crash and burn.
Now coming back to politicians, Senator Joe wilson got in to a lot of trouble for screaming "Liar" during the President speech on health care. Poor guy man all he said was one word ... Think of how we do our assemblies, the prime minister keeps talking people are a lot more than the word "Liar", they are walking out, abusing , throwing mikes and personal favourite emptying tons of money in the middle of the parliment.
Back to Tharoor and his tweet, come on guys we all know he meant no disrespect to any one and the second part where he called the rest of the top brass of the government " Holy Cows " I kind of do agree.... beacuse come what may culling "holy cows ( politicians)" is a virtual impossibility in India. I actually for once ..want to meet the " mango person (thank u saif) " whose feelings have been hurt becuase such statements. I mean recently I was told that " Quick Gun Murugan" did not release in Hyderabad becuase the villian was named " Rice Plate Reddy" and that too offended the people.
Are we really that sensitive ?? Slumdog offended us, Sach ka Samna offended us, Song from movie " Aaja Nachle " ( dont remember the exact line) offends us and oh wait !!! the best SHAH RUKH KHAN getting frisked at US aiport offends us. But now lets us look at what does not offend us .. foriegn nationals and Indian women getting molested/ beaten in public, A professor getting beaten to death in public and more than 10 winteness turning hostile, fact that we elect politicians with criminal records to power.... and so on you get the picture ... oh wait we have politicians who uses 2000 crores of taxpayer money for building parks and statues of her herself ... I think that kind of money would give Stalin and Hitler a run for their money as far as self glorification goes!!
