Oh, So Now He’s Hispanic?
On Hardball just now, Chris Matthews voiced his concern that it hurts Hispanics in America to have Al Gonzales, the first Hispanic attorney general doing badly.
That’s interesting, since I definitely don’t recall Matthews noting how much it helped Hispanics having Gonzales as the first Hispanic Attorney General.
Nor do I recall him opining very much on sensitivities of the Hispanic commmunity when Miguel Estrada, who could have been the first Hispanic Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, was held in political limbo for two years thanks to a Democrat filibuster. The reason for that filibuster, we learned, was primarily because Estrada is Hispanic.
Did I mention that the Democrats’ partisan filibuster against Estrada was the first time it had ever been done in the Senate? Ever?
It seems to me that Matthews has only noticed Gonzales’ ethnicity in time to shove another rhetorical knife between George Bush’s ribs. Not that he’s biased or anything.
