¡Don Aztlán!

Last night, Gustavo "¡Ask a Mexican!" Arellano was the guest on Stephen Colbert's show (The mock O'Reilly Colbert Report), and that went well, I think. OC Republicans will be especially pleased:
Colbert: You speak very good Spanish!

Arellano: I know, isn’t it surprising?

Colbert: Were you born here, in the United States?

Arellano: I was born in Orange County, California.

Colbert: So, where’d you learn your Spanish?

Arellano: In Mexico—Orange County, Mexico.

Colbert: Oh, really? Because—it’s almost Mexico at this point.

Arellano: Yeah. Well, it’s already Mexico really….
.....
Arellano: Orange County is the Mexican hating capital of America. The reason why we're so obsessed with Mexicans right now is because Orange County--your buddies--the Republican delegation, they sent...James Sensenbrenner into a room, they beat him senseless, and they said, "You're gonna obsess about Mexicans now, you're gonna obsess about illegal immigration, and you're gonna make this into a national issue"...the hate that's been in Orange County for the past decade or so is now out in the United States, and so, it's what we think in Orange County--now you get to think. [See Can You Say...'anti-Mexican'?]

One of the recurring characters on Colbert's show--I haven 't seen many episodes--is some guy named "Esteban Colberto," who, evidently, is an illegal alien (aka "immigrant") threatening to take Colbert's job! Funny.

But guess what? This Esteban guy is the spitting image of our own Don "Don't Ask a Mexican" Wagner! Check it out:


Pretty cool, eh? Well, to drive the point home, I've stuck Don's head on Esteban's body:


It's uncanny ¿Que no?

Evidently, those gals are called "chicas," "chicas calientes."

Don and chicas. Very cool! All he needs now is his Colt--and his Tejana!

La Raza Cósmica!

This is my favorite! I love the way you point out Wagner's true character.
He is up for election do you have a candidate? No?!
Is he going to get a Pass again?
