When you’re in a hole stop digging
Oh! this was funny. It was in 9th or 10th standard that we read about “The Policy of Appeasement” in our history books. Appeasement was a very amusing term for many of us and we spent quite sometime understanding what it was.
After that, this is the first time I think I’m hearing the term “appeasement”, thanks to Bush’s remark in Israel. As if that was not interesting enough, we have this funny interview that I’ve watched atleast half a dozen times now. The interviewee, Kevin James, is asked a simple question, “What did Chamberlain do?”. Not that I knew the answer to that question before watching that video, but a guy who spews as much as rhetoric as Kevin James does, he should have known atleast some background on appeasement.
That guy tries to beat around the bush for sometime (count how many times he says “energize, legitimize”; very funny, not very different from how I used to attempt answering 12 mark questions I had no clue about during my engineering college days 
) before finally admitting he doesn’t know the answer. But that doesn’t give him any respite as he’s totally flayed by the host. Poor guy decides to scream continuously to avoid further embarrasment, but doesn’t succeed.
For MSNBC, this create an “alwaa sapdara mathiri” effect. They have already shown this episode twice this evening.
