Acevedo-Vila is a significant behind-the-scenes player in NJ politics....an ally of McGreevey, he endorsed Jon Corzine in 2005. In 2006, US Sen Robert Menendez (D-NJ) vacationed with Acevedo-Vila at the governor's PR beach house.

Menendez used a controversial and secretive parliamentary maneuver to try to block the nomination of the US attorney whose office Wednesday indicted Acevedo-Vila. Menendez was roundly criticized for his conduct and has refused repeated requests for comment on the matter.

The "identity politics" con game must come to an end. Whenever individuals resort to "hyphenating" themselves, you know a ripoff is in the works.

Our nation in the hands of a identity obsessed nitwits like Menendez is alarming. Slimeballs like Menendez are turning democracy into a Third World. Menendez is sucking up to Third World pols to feather his nest, and getting hyphenates to violate our borders AND fraudulently registering them to advance his political ambitions.

Hmmmm....and what exactly was Alberto Gonzales raked over the coals for, and forced to resign? Firing U.S. attorneys? Blocking their nomination for political reasons is just as bad. Menendez: Resign NOW!

Yeah-—notice how the arrogant little turd won’t even answer questions. He’ll get out after eating a putrid taco and getting a bad case of Montezuma’s Revenge.....maybe.
