Well, Except for Pedro the Gardner

In 2012, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett decreed Sept. 15 – Oct. 15 “Hispanic Heritage month,” and he noted that Pennsylvania’s 800,000 Latino residents represent approximately 6.8 percent of the overall population.

Yet, he had this conversation yesterday in front of the Union League in Philadelphia —

MODERATOR: Do you have staff members that are Latino?

CORBETT: No, we do not have any staff members in there. If you can find us one, please let me know.

MODERATOR: I am sure that there are Latinos that…

CORBETT: Do any of you want to come to Harrisburg? See?!

Because when you’re white in Pennsylvania, holy crap dude, you’re white!

Hummm … there seems to be no shortage of goofy ignorant twitty old white men Governors, though.  Hispanics?  Well, you gotta go look for them.

Some days, y’all, I just want to stand and bang my head against the wall.  However, that option becomes even more attractive if I could bang my head against a white Republican Governor.
