Hillary Fanatic Exiled to Santo Domingo
The White House is all set to announce on Monday November 30th the nomination of former National Council of La Raza prez Raúl Yzaguirre
as — get this — the new U.S. ambassador to the Dominican Republic.
Yzaguirre, 70, was NCLR president for 30 years before retiring in 2004 to become a community organizing professor at Arizona State University.
He has since also dabbled in some political stuff, having been picked by the then-Hillary for President campaign in 2008 as one of the co-chairs, and he promptly went about complaining that the Obama campaign had stolen the “Yes We Can” slogan from the United Farm Workers union.
His reward: an ambassadorship to a country he knows nothing about and can barely understand the extremely rapid Spanish that’s spoken down there.
Of course the best thing about this is the Mexican will realize not every Latino is from south of the border and that tortillas aren’t a staple food all over the place, and that there indeed are people who dance without cowboys boots.
Omigawd! Virgen de Altagracia! He’s gonna be eaten alive!
Hey but it doesn’t end there! Apparently the Dominican government consulted voodoo fortune tellers in neighboring Haiti, because the quisqueya government “granted with pleasure the approval of Yzaguirre” – a week and a half ago.
Somebody please tell the Dominicans the White House first has to make the announcement official and then it has to be greenlighted by the U.S. Senate.
And while you’re talking to them, bring back some Presidente beer, por fa’!!!!
