For all of those of you still whining about Latinos not being in the administration, here’s another brown-led government post. Former Bronx borough president and famous Boricua NALEO prez Adolfo Carrion has a new job:

President Barack Obama Announces Key White House Posts

WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, President Barack Obama announced the following White House posts: Adolfo Carrion, White House Director of Urban Affairs and Derek Douglas, Special Assistant to the President for Urban Affairs.

Adolfo Carrion, aka Parking Lot Carrion according to some white hipster press, will now be in charge of all urban affairs. But wait! There’s more!

Of course if he were a real Mexican, his whole family would be living in the basement:

Rahm Emanuel’s Illegal D.C. Basement Rental

He’s the cheapskate of staff. Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama’s right-hand man, lives in a basement apartment on Capitol Hill rented to him by Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro. Just one problem: He’s not allowed to live there.

That’s what private investigator Joseph Culligan discovered after asking questions of D.C. officials. A zoning administrator responded to Culligan’s inquiry and told him that DeLauro’s house at 816 E. Capitol St. NE was listed as a single-family dwelling, and as such, could not be rented out.

Of course the Obamatrons are real busy trying to get this economic stimulus package through. And that’s probably why it’s taking forever to fill an allegedly key position in the White House: the press person in charge of dealing with the Spanish-language press.

(so who the hell is going to talk to the beaner press?)

We hear a former member of the dog-and-pony campaign press sideshow was 86ed because their Spanish is non-existent. That person apparently is over in the personnel office looking over Latino résumés for those important assistant to the assistant secretaries positions.

And we hear a top-ranking and highly capable press person currently working on the Hill turned down the position because it paid CRAP — somewhere in the 50s and 60s (and even upper 40s, which is beyond crap) which is far, far less than what that pasty white press person makes.

(making the big bucks speaking monolingually)

Because we knew it was only a matter of a few hours before a game like this would come out.

Most everyone spouting Kumbayah and good feelings since Obama got elected have forgotten the spike in hate crimes against Latinos and other people of color. Latinos have been getting beaten up just for the hell of it, with a few of them paying with their lives.

Not surprisingly, most Hispanic groups have been too busy getting fitted for their inauguration gala gowns to really pay too much attention.

It took the death of an Ecuadoran immigrant in NYC to FINALLY get the Mexican American Legal whatever whatever whatever fund to say something, and only after Sen. Chuck Schumer first said something. Schumer is considering expanding the federal anti-hate crime laws to include crimes based on gender, sexual orientation, and even ethnicity. The law currently only covers things crimes against “federally protected activities,” such as voting.

Anyway, it’s nice to see someone FINALLY said something. You will of course recall that it was an outfit of white civil rights lawyers that helped another beaten-up Latino successfully sue a bunch of racists. The Mexican American Legal whatever whatever fund has YET to comment on that whole incident.

And we’re still waiting for the change guy to say SOMETHING.
