AZ Immigration: Tod Tamberg Can't Get Anything Right

Mahony's Communications Director, Tod Tamberg, fired back first with a complaint that the Senator's remarks aren't addressing the point, and then went on to make the assertion that Hispanics are the target of this new law. Actually, it's targeted at illegal aliens, some of whom happen to be Hispanics. Can't Todd Tamberg tell the truth or make a statement about someone else's position without twisting it out of all recognizeable form?

It's the mark of a feral soul to do such things. For his part, Cardinal Mahony has no credibility and will soon be gone. Hopefully he doesn't do too much damage on his way out.
