Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa wore a shirt last night to the Lakers-Suns game that said, “DO I LOOK ILLEGAL?”

May 19, 2010 By: bubbachewie Category: Political

Funny she brings it up as the future Mrs. Bryant, Vanessa Laine, was 17 when she met Kobe for the first time. Of course, that illegality had nothing to do with immigration. (Though you could make a case for sneaking over the border.)

April 28, 2010 By: bubbachewie Category: Culture, Political

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused Arizona of opening the door “to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement.” But Arizona has nothing on Mexico when it comes to cracking down on illegal aliens.
