Gonzales Not a Latino Prize

A well-written critique of Alberto Gonzales can be found here. It's especially important because it is written by a Latina who has many things in common with Gonzales. It counters the myth that Latinos should be proud of Gonzales strictly for his heritage, which the Bush team uses cynically, just as they try to use Dr. Conyououtayourshorts Rice. What most don't realize is that the Bush administration's record of giving jobs to minorities, as a whole, is poor. High profile nominations like Rice and Gonzales really are tokens.
