Tagged: blogPosted on: May 7th, 2008
Hey, you know what’s a riot? Comparing one of the country’s foremost Latino politicians to “a shoeshine guy” because of his race.
A spokesman for Antonio Villaraigosa says the Los Angeles mayor is planning a statement in response to an ethnically-flavored drive-by served up by Rush Limbaugh yesterday. [Update: Villaraigosa's press secretary says there won't be a statement after all; meanwhile, the head of the National Hispanic Media Coalition calls Limbaugh's remark "nasty, bigoted [and] racist.”"*
