The article is amazing about reporting how the token was paraded in front of a second news conference to "clarify" his policies in his first news conference, with the goons flanking him and interrupting him to bring him to 'Bagger orthodoxy, *actually* with a LIMBOsevic book in hand and *thumping* it!1 They are shown once again not to have a sense of "optics" to use the popular word from two weeks ago. (The other times are all those racist slogan and cartoon signs at their gatherings and the 99.9% White oldsters in the pictures.)
So the optics with this Rev. VEGA had to do less with the trite word "puppet" than with their sticking their hand and arm up his ass in public. No sympathy to Rev. VEGA. If he wants to be one of those boys, he needs to do as he's told, as his ilk could tell him: Clarence THOMAS, Alberto GONZALES, Miguel ESTRADA - but not limited to minority members since the White Mediocrities are also in this group: Harriet MIERS, Porter GOSS. They do as they're told.

“But even there it’s not sufficient,” interrupted Glen Hagenbach, the Hispanic Tea Party education director, who tapped on Rush Limbaugh’s 1992 book, The Way Things Ought To Be. ....
