I guess AG Alberto couldn't make it this year.
Clinotn will relate how he witnessed all the adobe churches in Arkansas burning when he was a child.....
WTF? why would Rove go to this? is he with Homeboy Industries ?
Seems stupid to go, when your prezence will be interpreted as supporting an overtly racist organization.
nah, only white people can be racist. (sarc)
You cannot forget Senator Browback will be in attendance.
Je$$e HiJack$on is also on the list.
They probably paid him a million dollars to show up.
Villaraigosa (aka Tony Villar) is a perfect choice inasmuch as he's the mayor of the Mexicans in LA, but will never be considered the mayor of LA. He, too, has shown himself to be a racist weasel every bit as bad as anyone you can find In LaRaza, MEChA, LULAC, MALDEF or any of the many other sorry little troublemakers with reconquista and love of illegal aliens as an announced or hidden agenda. So Tony Villar attending this conference is about as remarkable as discovering a burrito in Santa Ana. Good fit.
Clinton, of course, confirmed media whore that he is, hates to ever pass up any chance to avail himself of a photo op and inflict his insufferable bloviation on the largest audience possible--usually at an exorbitant fee. Impeached, draft dodging, accused rapist and probable traitor, it is hard to imagine anyone better suited to be a speaker at a NCLR conference. They are made for each other. Another good choice.
Karl Rove here, is of course merely a surrogate for Bush who would love to attend as principal demogogue and Hispanderer, but who recognizes that loyal American conservatives would then make his life even more difficult than they already have, with Republicans running for reelection storming the White House with protests. Sending Rove, the father of modern party-above-principle Big Tent GOP politics, will fool nobody. So much for the much ballyhooed "change of mind" on S. 2611 and the passionate embrace of "enforcement only". On this one, "compassionate conservatism" and "new tone in Washington" isn't going to do a damned bit of good. Good fit under the circumstances, but a surrogate is still only a surrogate, whose appearance may cause his boss a lot of trouble (and he will deserve every bit of it).
All in all, an impressive collection of traitors.
LOL, that is really cute Smartass. I may even steal it from you! Thanks for pinging.
