… to the South Florida kitchen of his mom’s house to, “with some trepidation,” ask his mom, Adela Fernanndez, “the wisest of all Latina women, what she thought of Sonia Sotomayor.” (Fernanndez is “proud” of Sotomayor, that she “came from nothing” and “did it on her own.”)

Almost as cute as when Fox News’s Steve Doocy back in 2008 interviewed his son, Peter (who last month joined Fox News as a general assignment reporter), on Fox & Friends and congratulated the young man for the question he asked Sen. McCain during a “Hardball College Tour” Q&A (young Doocy’s question was about Hillary Clinton “hitting the sauce” on the campaign trail).
Saw your piece on your mom and friend's comment on Sotomayor. Loved your commentary on your mom's use of English. When my Sicilian Mom of 6th grade education died, folks waited 4 hours to pay respects. I asked my more intelligent sister why. Her answer echoed your commentary. About both my Sicilian mom and dad she remarked "It was never about them". Says it all.
From here on out, I will understand you in a different light. Joe Mitcho
