Loretta Sanchez is my new favorite Congresswoman

The fighting Congressional Sanchez sisters came to UCLA Law today to talk about their childhoods and hawk their book, Dream in Color.

Loretta, who last appeared on the blog two years en route to her crushing defeat of Tan "Rusty Shackleford" Nguyen, provided my favorite moments of the lecture:
  • Justifying her decision to interrupt herself mid-sentence and get up from her seat to step on a cricket: "I thought it was a cockroach"
  • Describing her parents' impression of her childhood intellect compared to her older brother's: "The retard."
  • Recounting her decision to run against "B-1 Bob Dornan" in 1996 after he refused to meet with her: "Screw you."
