There was a Friends episode in which one of the male characters was excited about being hired to be photo model for a public service ad, until he saw himself plastered all over NYC as the poster boy for VD. Maybe our Colombian miss is experiencing a little of the same shock.

“Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company. Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.”

Re: “I can’t figure out why anyone would call it cyber-bullying, though, when the target wasn’t really Adriana, and no one even knew her identity.”

Two quick thoughts:
1) Why do anonymous commentators on the net take things personally? Guess it’s just human nature–the internet is the best disproof there is of Rawls’ veil of ignorance.

2) She’s weak-mindedly succumbing to the current manufactured meme-theme of bullying.

Maybe she should call “Joe the Plumber” to commiserate. Oh, right, it’s only bullying when it originates from one side. And she hasn’t even had several of her home state’s bureaucrats go trolling through their records and leaking the results to the press yet.

Beverly, she looks ethnically Irish — with her complexion and auburn hair — usually a dead give-away.

You keep bringing up O’Neill…

My First Cousins are his direct descendants.

IIRC, they’re his Great-Grandchildren. Their Mother was a maiden O’Neill. Her high point was acting across from Gregory Peck — if you call putting your hand out to him so that he’d sign your book. The image is so fleeting it requires slo-mo on the DVD. She still has that book. (The Snows of Kilimanjaro)

She was a beau of Martin Milner — dumping him in favor of my Uncle.

ALL of the O’Neill ticks traveled down the genes — which is a very mixed situation for them.

Beautiful handwriting, though.

At least they’re not destined to die in a hotel room.

Isn’t it a small world?

So she’s a Hispanic non-citizen? Natch.

Good catch. Will fix.

“A legal resident from Columbia”. Now, would that be in South Carolina, the myriad other States with a Columbia, the long-lost supercontinent, or the dreadful University in NYC?

A woman who dealt with the government, thinking she’d get something for free (pics of her family) ends up getting burned.
She’s the perfect spokesperson for Obamacare.
