You probably know him by another name – Antonio Villaraigosa, mayor of Los Angeles … the man who, just the Friday before, told the media Republicans couldn’t just trot out speakers with Hispanic surnames and expect to win Hispanic votes.
Tony knows well what’s in a name, particularly an Hispanic name. He was Tony Villar, regular guy, for his entire life until he entered politics and added his wife’s maiden name to his in an attempt to appeal to the large Hispanic vote in California.
The story goes he added his wife’s name as a sign of his love for her. He loved her so much he soon thereafter was caught in an affair with a local TV reporter. But when measured against the cast of characters the Democrats trotted out there, Villar was par for the course.
The New York Times would run this on the front page if he had an "R" by his name. Shame on the press. Shame on them.
Yep.
I thought the entire column was a fantastic slap in the face to the Democrat party and exactly how an honest media that was not part of the PR arm of the Rat party would cover it.
In today's liberal MSM that's called....”Taking one for the team”
