Open Thread for Saturday

The LA Times reports that John Trasviña, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund is speaking out over Rush Limbaugh referring to Mayor Villaraigosa as a "shoeshine boy."

"The fact that your stated first impression of [Mayor Villaraigosa] was to consider him "a shoeshine boy" instead of the elected mayor of America's second-largest city speaks volumes about your view of America and the role or status of people who do not fit your preconceived notion of what an elected official should be," Trasviña wrote.

But does it count that the Mayor indeed had worked as a shoeshine boy?
