Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Couldn't do Yoga yesterday so I'll probably catch up with it today...The Ray and Patti show didn't rev up the heart rate as it did yesterday with the doctors ranting and raving at each other and though I listened to the positively loco show, their comments were programed to respond exactly as I thought they would so I wasn't too bothered by the comments...but I'll let you know what they were just in case you're interested.......
The callers to that Chamglish show(cause sometimes the talkshow host likes to use both languages in sentences) all supported Jesse Lujan....most callers(and the host of course aggreed) said that if Berg can use his talk show to say things about Jesse, then Jesse can use his column to talk about Berg and Lee Webber of the PDN which is carrying the story of Lujan's being a doctor in a Muscle magazine........and that 20 years ago, maybe we should forget the mistakes of a young man who thought he went to school to be a doctor but really didn't...
You see, we really do protect our own....so many mothers say this about their sons who are arrested for killing someone...'my boy, he is such a good boy'...'he's so good to me'...we look the other way when someone brings to our attention the faults of one of our own.
My Kiku said that perhaps the doctors Macris and Berg used their talk show to open the can of worms(the great pretend doctor act) to get at Lujan and that Lujan is just using his column to get 'even' with the doctors(and Lee Webber of the PDN) and what is wrong with that? Of course, I almost spilled my coffee......on him! His opinion matters as does Lujan's....but......we, you and me, didn't elect Macris, Berg, McMillan or Lee Webber to represent us in this great hall known as the legislature to create legislation....we didn't elect these 'white' people to have oversight over or manage our medical care that he once pretended to have knowledge over.
In today's Marianas Variety in his column, he denies ever making such a claim, yet in today's PDN, a Stephanie Williams puts her neck on the line and claims that he told her he was a doctor. Yesterday on the afternoon show on K57, a man called and said he was in a class at GW in which Jesse Lujan was introduced by Ruben Candiotti a PE coach as a thorasic surgeon. Too many people have knowledge of the incident that can't be blamed on nosy news reporters. Jeff Evan in Sacramento has absolutely nothing to gain or lose by saying that Lujan was on his show and was interviewed as a bodybuilder and thorasic surgeon...it didn't mean anything then...Jesse wasn't an elected official possibly having oversight of the island's only civilian hospital......and you know what? It wouldn't make one bit of difference if Jesse was black, blue or green...if his name was Macris, Berg, or Webber...if he pretended to be a doctor and wasn't and he was a senator that was now possibly was going to be the head honcho over what was going to happen at GMH, I'd make sure he wasn't going to sit at that chair!
