Tuesday KFOX had a chance to catch up with Reyes, and asked him about the pop quiz.

"It's unfortunate that there has been so much attention that has been paid to it," said Reyes, a Democrat representing El Paso.

Reyes said he actually does know the answers to the questions.

It is obvious that the reporter and editor should be sent away for re-education. These pop quizes are for republicans - all dems should simply get a pass.< /sarcasm >.

If the criticism stays alive for 2 more days on this guy, he will cry: "This is RACISM against Hispanic-Chicano-Americans!"

lol!

. . .if he know this at all - beyond American Sandard - so to speak; it may be the starting/ending point of his Middle Eastern education.

(Having read Mark Steyn's book, America Alone; was wondering. ..hoping. . .that from Bush on down; this should be a 'required read'. Post Reyes interview; I have little hope.

Am wondering if most of these Congressional 'OF's even follow the news. Maybe they just think they make it; and that is all that is necessary.)
