For Rep. Sanchez, a hot-tomato label means a hot potato

Pacing next to the desk and U.S. flag in her district office in Garden Grove, the paradox that is Rep. Loretta Sanchez was on full display. The congresswoman ticked off a meaty legislative to-do list: immigration reform, port safety, stopping sex trafficking, revamping "terrible management" at the Department of Homeland Security. She was articulate and sharp, even magnetic. At the same time, she was shedding a red St. John Knits suit and shimmying into an ao dai, a traditional Vietnamese tunic and pants, for her next event. Meaning that she was telling a female reporter about her chairmanship of the House Subcommittee on Border, Maritime and Global Counterterrorism while wearing only pants and a black bra. Was this a glimpse of Loretta Sanchez, siren, a politician known for her strenuous workout regimen and fondness for come-hither heels? Or was this Loretta Sanchez, harried congresswoman, too wrapped up in important national issues to take a break in the name of modesty? Few members of Congress, if any, are such a walking Rorschach test. Entrenched in the House majority for the first time, she is allied with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) and sits on two of the most prominent committees: Armed Services and Homeland Security, being the second-ranking Democrat on the latter. Sanchez, 47, has also recently considered a gubernatorial run, creating a committee, People for Loretta 2010, that allows her to raise money.

I haven't seen Ms. Sanchez on TV in awhile. Looks like maybe she's had some work done on her face--face looks different.

At least that would get her out of Congress! Now what to do with her sister?

Isn't she the one that took the office with illegals voting giving her the advantage over the seated Rep?
