The list is out, a grand total of 2 token Hispanics have been invited to sit somewhere in the Capitol close to Laura Bush and may be on camera for half a second.

Apparently, Alberto GONEzales is busy trying to give speeches and was unavailable… BUT not to worry, we have you usual Cuban relative of political prisoner:

Blanca González, Mother of Cuban Political Prisoner; ( Miami Florida) Blanca González is the mother of Normando Hernández González, a political prisoner suffering under the regime of Fidel and Raul Castro. (A two headed dictator…Is this the new official U.S. view?)

AND Alma Morales Riojas of MANA, who just like Joe Baca is 3 feet tall.

Now I also noticed on the list Irving Mayfield, (from Los Hombres Calientes) who is a music genius but THANKS TO KATRINA and the we know that whole story, their group has suspended touring and I have no idea why he would associate with any Bush EVER.

   [...] And is customary, there are some people on the list with Hispanic sounding names, an actual one of “Ecuadorean” origins, and of course a Latina mother with no insurance. [...]
