This Ruben NAVARRETTE is one of those Affirmative Action alums who turn against the Dem Party that created such social services for people who needed help. He claims he was stigmatized as being AA, and he detests the "White Liberal males" who gave him this hand.
He has never seen Shrub in a pair of jeans he didn't like, and no Dem has ever done anything in his mind as good as Shrub, saying that Dems never placed minority peeps in such high offices. He neglects to mention that promoting one, two, three individuals to high profile offices doesn't equate with Dems instituting programs that helped millions.
He never mentions the sacrosanct WW II generation, but he constantly slams the Vietnam generation, in 2004 saying that KERRY "was running around the jungle in Vietnam." He says his generation is tired of hearing about Vietnam, and not only that, that he doesn't want to hear about any kind of HISTORY, that the present moment with Shrub and the "war on terror" is what it's all about ----like scoundrels like Shrub and phoney wars have never happened before. Goodbye, SANTAYANA.
And, of course, the "Liberal media" puts him into the Washington Post writers syndicate and CNN makes him a regular on their website because he is a Hispanic. He doesn't represent any Hispanics, but he's a Hispanic.
Here he appears to be agreeing with Senator CLINTON but slams her anyway, even though he admits Ahhhhnuld can't see his own (genitals).

On the driver's license issue, I'm sort of a John Kerry in reverse. I was against the idea before I was for it. ....
In California, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been all over the map on this issue, and now he seems to be looking for a compromise that would address security concerns without rewarding unlawful behavior.
As for Spitzer, he has made the correct choice – even if it isn't the popular one. He has decided that New York's interest in determining who is in the state, and for what purpose, is vital enough that it can't be held hostage by the federal impasse over immigration reform or the all-or-nothing politics that kills the appetite for compromise. He has angered the extremes on both the right and the left, those who think he went too far or didn't go far enough. And he has provided a sensible alternative to what his more-conservative opponents seem to believe – that if you ignore illegal immigrants, they'll go away.
Most refreshing of all, when Spitzer took heat for his position – whether it was from political opponents in Albany or petty demagogues on cable television – he stood his ground.
You see, Hillary. What the governor of New York has in mind makes sense. And the next time you're asked about it, just say so.
