Adventures of the Coconut Caucus

So what have our illustrious politicos been up to lately?…..

Richardson López and the minor controversy over his “maricón” moment with Imus continues

Lincoln Diaz Balart etc at some intern event

Despite the fact that immigration reform is dead, for some reason Carlos Gutiérrez keeps hanging out with Michael “gut” Chertoff

Hispanics in Texas raise a bunch of money to run against each other

Luis Gutiérrez sponsors yet another bill with zero chances and it is not about immigration

Mel Martínez campaign contributor found guilty of embezzlement

John Salazar is very occupied fighting some bugs in Colorado

As the Salazar brothers like to remind us, their family has been in Colorado forever, and none of them have ever been, or are associated with, México Lindo y Querido. (Except like 500 years ago vía Spain).

So it was much to our surprise to learn, that somehow over the xmas break, John Salazar became fluent in Spanish and is willing to prove it by being interviewed on Univision, or Telemundo, o whatever Spanish language media would like to talk to him.

Last time we spoke to Salazar his Spanish consisted of close to 3 words, but according to a new press release by the Hispanic Caucus, Salazar has now been declared fluent en Español. (Español sin barreras?)

Then again, according to the Hispanic Caucus, Congressman Alberto Sires, is the First Cuban Ever in the Nation.
