Katherine Lopez actually posted this on the NRO blog yesterday:

“On Hardball just now, Chris Matthews voiced his concern that it hurts Hispanics in America to have Al Gonzales, the first Hispanic attorney general doing badly.

His concerns are mine. Whenever a woman gets voted off American Idol I feel like I’ve died a little inside.

When Hillary Clinton loses her bid for the White House, I will go where whoever wins clearly wants me to be — home, where all women clearly belong, seen and not heard.

Al Gonzales has not just mismanaged the Department of Justice. Like another AG not so long ago, he has destroyed the hopes and dreams of little boys named Gonzalez.”

*cough*

While I know the answer for Democrats, I wonder if it’s not the fact that Gonzales is hispanic – point of fact of Mexican descent – that makes some conservatives cringe and die.
