Nebraska Lawmaker Calls Colleague a ‘Mongrel’

Nebraska state Sen. Mike Groene (R) inadvertently called Sen. Mike Flood (R), owner of a broadcasting company, a “media Mongol,” instead of a “media mogul,” the Omaha World Herald reports.

Brought to his attention later, Groene said of Flood: “I think he’s got mixed heritage, so that qualifies him as a mongrel and he’s aggressive so that does qualify him sometimes as a Mongol.”
