Barack Obama, Scots-Irishman

A while back, I reviewed U.S. Sen. James Webb's fine book on our common Scots-Irish ancestry.

Well, that ethicity is back in the news. It seems that John McCain is Scots-Irish. So is Hillary Clinton.

And so is... Barack Obama?

A person named elisa just left the following comment, which I have edited slightly due to the nature of the language:

You (obscene adjective and asterisk-ridden noun deleted). You like to take advantage of crippled ladies, then sit there in judgement of others?!! How dare you. You're just a stupid little catholic (anatomical reference). You are going to be exposed.

I have no idea what she means by a word of that. Neither Webb, McCain, Clinton, nor myself are Catholic. None of us, to my knowledge, has been abusive to any old ladies- crippled or otherwise- nor am I aware of anything in this post which suggests that anybody is sitting in judgment of anybody else.

But anyway, elisa has expressed her opinion, to which I suppose she is entitled anyway
