when did illegal immigration become a such a pressing issue that it required a primetime speech by the President, flush with "specials" on all the major "news" networks for hours on end?
it reminds me of the pressing stem cell crisis - only this time Bush isn't being portrayed as the great compromiser. instead he's looking like the great capitulator - capitulating to the demands of his base while trying to appease what he realizes is the growing strength of the latino populace in our country. plus he feels a lot of pressure from big business to let them continue to exploit the illegal immigration "loophole."
this is ri-dick-ulous. it's all a ruse. i remember when bush was discussing immigration with homeland security chief michael chertoff during the hurricane katrina crisis, and we all thought, what is wrong with this guy? can't he see there is something more pressing? well, now we know what he's been planning all this time. and he must feel it's the great distraction he's been needing all this time, or else i can't figure why he's done it. |

Luke - Eric Starker referred you to me, as I'm looking for people who would be interested in auditioning for a reading of a new musical I'm producing this summer. I apologize for contacting you via LJ, but this was the only contact info I had. If it's something you'd be interested in, could you e-mail me at reynaldi@encoretheatrecompany.org, and I'll send along the details? Much thanks. | |
