John McCain, still pouting (as he was for four years after 2000), no longer has any time for Hispanics because they didn't vote for him. The part of the story that caught my eye, however, is this:

The meeting in the Capitol's Strom Thurmond Room on March 11 was a Republican effort led by Sens. McCain of Arizona, John Thune of South Dakota, and Mel Martinez of Florida to reach out to Hispanics.

Which is a lovely bit of tone-deafness.
