Silvestre Reyes

-

The congressman who represents El Paso, Texas is Silvestre Reyes. He seems like a nice guy. I called his office in Washington, D.C. this morning urging him to vote against the $700 Billion bailout for the rich financiers on Wall Street.
-
After the bill was defeated (in the house) it was late enough that I assumed his Washington, D.C. office would be closed, so I called his office in El Paso to see how he voted. He voted for the debacle to pass. It made me want to look into his background a little.
-
Congressman Reyes has a 2 year degree from a community college. His only political experience before being elected to congress was a 2 year stint serving on the local Canutillo school board. Gosh, this sounds very similar to Sarah Palin.
-
But at least Reyes is merely a congressman, not a senator, and certainly not the Vice President of the United States. I guess it is about time to retire this rotund old grandfather figure again (he already retired once from the Border Patrol).
-
Wouldn't this white haired old man look fine standing next to John McCain?
