Yeah, I’m recording it….Don’t worry…And on VHS because my TiVOs so full these days. (How quaintly retro.)
Right now Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia) is really hamming it up about Estrada being Hispanic, and working his way up from nothing as an immigrant, etc. “We think you’ve come far from a lowly background…and he’s taken advantage of the opportunities that have been given to you….”
Anyway, tune in for yourself if you’re interested…
Just flipped it on – Max Baucus (D-Montana) is up, doing a fine, if rambly, job of putting the focus on accountability and the fact that no one knows anything about Estrada. I haven’t heard anyone counter the Republicans’ argument that Estrada should be appointed because, among other things, he’s Hispanic. I wonder if anyone will take that on and call the GOP on their hypocrisy.
I spoke too soon. Sen. Kennedy is up, and addressing the fact that Estrada does not appreciate the ‘minority experience’ and that he failed to get key endorsements from Latino groups.
