Find the videotape online somewhere. It's even more inexplicable in realtime. btw, Isis actually means "stupid, dirty goddess", so technically they were both right.

Yeah, and I think Riordan loosely tranlates into "man who sticks his foot in it," whereas Dymally seems to work out to something like "minority bigot."

Trinity Lila is the hardest to translate. My Who's Who Players of the World Dictionary isn't always precise, but I think her name works into something like, "woman who would be indignant if she didn't usually support people who undermine her interests." I think in this instance it's referring to republicans, but it's dangerous to generalize when you are interpretting names.
