Hispanic Law Enforcers Demand Apology from Florida Congresswoman

By Bill Conroy,
 

The Super Tuesday presidential primary that played out yesterday may have grabbed the national spotlight in recent weeks, but there was another vote taken recently that shined attention on a peculiarly clueless Congresswoman in Florida.

U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite managed to invoke the ire of the entire Puerto Rican community due to her reservations about the proposed economic stimulus package approved on Jan. 29 by the House — and now awaiting U.S. Senate action.

In fact, Brown-Waite, as a result of her lack of wit, became the subject of a resolution approved in the Puerto Rico House of Representatives earlier this week that demands she make a public apology.

And what did this fine solar-baked Caucasian Congresswoman from the Sunshine State do to deserve that dubious recognition?
