Candidates Celebrate Chavez’s Birthday By Pandering

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Now he wants a stamp AND a holiday? That's just selfish.Today Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both took some time to profess their enduring love and affection for legendary civil rights leader Cesar Chavez — but only one of these candidates loves Cesar Chavez enough to call for a national holiday in his honor. Guess who? It’s the same candidate who also plagiarized the three words Chavez invented many years ago, Si Se Puede (HINT: Barack Obama). Meanwhile, John McCain celebrated by angrily eating a bunch of grapes. [Chicago Tribune]
