Now you see why Judge Sotomayor will be a Supreme Court Justice, and Sen. Coburn will not:
Update…Ooops — wrong Republican trying to perform Latino/a outreach in the title. Apologies…(Memo to self: don’t blog and speed…)
There is nothing more to say to the video below but OMG. I mean, Lucille Ball was a comic genius and worthy of all kinds of tribute, and Desi Arnaz was a great foil for her comedy, and a fine musician and producer too, but talk about tin — no make that lead — ears, and you have the Hon. (sic) Senator Sessions Coburn.
So: how’s that GOP – Latino/a outreach working for you folks?
