Congressional Hispanic Caucus Implodes

O.K., I'm enjoying the greater transparency in Government since the Democrats took over. But I'm already a little nostalgic for that Republican 'Red Wall of Silence', or at least hoped we could emulate them just a little bit in that matter. Witness this one:

Rep. Loretta Sanchez has quit the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, accusing the chairman, Rep. Joe Baca, of telling people she's a "whore."

Baca denied the charge.

In an interview with The Politico Wednesday, Sanchez, a California Democrat as is Baca, also cited concerns about whether Baca was properly elected Hispanic Caucus chairman in November and about his general attitude toward female lawmakers. The caucus represents 21 Hispanic Democrats in Congress.

"I'm not going to be a part of the CHC as long as Mr. Baca illegally holds the chair … I told them no. There's a big rift here," Sanchez said. "You treat the women like shit. I have no use for him."

Perhaps the Congressional Hispanic Caucus should get a new chairman. You can read the full story here.

Oh, and apparently its not an isolated case. Rep. Baca should really step down, or perhaps receive a healthy helping of verbal abuse from his mother.
