Mel Martinez is Spanish for Harriet Miers?

“The unhappy conservatives at English First, who find themselves driven to rage by Spanish-language signs in government offices and who utter the words “bilingual education” as if it was equivalent to “man-on-dog” sexual relations, would be unlikely to have the same warm feelings as I did, sitting there in my chair not understanding a word of what the translator was saying. But I’m feeling charitably inclined towards them, because I learned today that they’re working as hard as they can to lock up the Hispanic vote in the United States for the Democratic Party for generations to come.

Specifically, they are mobilizing all out to stop Florida Senator Mel Martinez from being named chairman of the Republican National Committee. They’ve set up a Web site, stopmartinez.com, and a blog, Martinez Watch. They’re getting the “base” all riled up about a guy who had the temerity, the shocking audacity to dare give the first-ever speech in Spanish on the Senate Floor, and who happens to be buddy-buddy with Mr. Amnesty Antichrist, John McCain. And they’re being really, really mean by equating the Senator with failed Supreme Court nomineee Harriet Miers. Ooooh, that’s gotta hurt.”
