AY-yi-YI-yi-YI, as Ricky would say

Political Wire:

Then you would have some 'splaining to do.

-- Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), doing his best Ricky Ricardo impression at Judge Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearing.

Is it possible, do you think, that Senator Coburn simply has never spoken before to a real live Hispanic-American, at least one who wasn't mowing his yard or bringing him salsa?

When I think what strong support the GOP should be able to get from a largely assimilationist, strongly Roman Catholic, entrepreneurial and hardworking minority group, and then see how the GOP has treated the immigration issue and the Sotomayor nomination, I shake my head in wonder at the mysteries of God.
