The implausible dearth of Chicana/o tele-celebrities, implausible if only for little things like the U.S. census, and the nagging and utter invisibility of Tejanas and Tejanos on the stage of U.S. mass culture (cue paean to Selena), makes the superstardom of Alberto Gonzales (who spells his last name like Speedy Gonzales, on purpose!) all the more tragic. A recent Daily Show take on our toadying, stammering, bizarro-world poster child Chicano is available from Crooks and Liars here.
