It has been a while since we brought up this important topic, but then we just happened to spot him at Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearing:
AND as la neta has pointed out he is wearing a visitor’s pass! (and the hearing is not even inside the Capitol building, you would think that as a member of Congress…)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The payday loan industry, threatened by Congress with extinction, has deployed well-connected lobbyists and hefty sums of campaign cash to key lawmakers to save itself.
The strategy has paid off.
Now a top Democrat who once tried to ban the practice is instead pushing to regulate it — a result, he says, of the industry’s lobbying clout.
The lawmaker, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., says his bill does have crucial protections for borrowers and represents the best deal he can manage in the face of the industry’s aggressive lobbying. Consumer groups are condemning the bill as a loophole-riddled gift to the industry.
We have been a bit distracted by some other happenings, and we totally forgot to post the great news about one of our most favorite congress-person’s and great leader of the Hispanic Caucus, Joe Baca, who has was the only Latino in Congress to make the Top Ten List in Esquire magazine!!!
The 10 Worst Members of Congress
The competition was staggering, and for every one on this list, there are five who could just as easily have stood in. Ladies and gentlemen, the very worst of the worst.
And I quote:
As chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Baca steered CHC funds to the campaigns of his two sons. When Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez called him on it, he did the mature thing and called her a “whore.” Nice. So Baca’s corrupt and venal.
Here’s the best picture of this, as sent to us by our very own La Bloguera.
Clearly height is an issue, unless of course, this is another liberal media tactic like their fact checking and stuff.
UPDATE: Case in point: NYT caught on to the height issue:
So like a good Central American, JMcC is 3 feet tall, which makes the height issue officially the only slightly Latino thing to even poke its head into the debate of this super majorly important election.
We learned a few things at this years’ Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala, you know that black tie sequin extravaganza where 50 year old ladies dress as quinceañeras, and the guys with their tuxes ALL look like the waiters, and half of them are the waiters.
We also learned that being 3 feet tall doesn´t mean you don´t have the power to move a crowd (like move them out of the room)… for some reason someone allowed Joe Baca to put his daughter on stage at the Convention Center, and gave her a mic…. the rest is Hispanic Hysteria History…
So of course we have an audio sample so you can judge for yourselves:
(AND NO, this clip was only edited for lenght, the gringo media gathered there to cover Obama will testify to this audio, and of course ANYONE who was there cannot forget)
