Loretta Taking Her Act to HBO

It's true!

According to Dan Chmielewski over at theliberaloc.com blog, Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (D-Anaheim), is scheduled to appear as a guest on "Real Time With Bill Maher" Friday at 11 p.m. on HBO.

Chmielewski wonders how many "pet the cat" jokes humorist Maher will utter. Perhaps not many. Maher's other talkative guests will include Bradley Whitford ("The West Wing"), John "the Mike Schroeder of journalism" Fund of the Wall Street Journal, presidential candidate Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Russell Simmons.

I know one OC person who'll be watching: Van Tran, the Little Saigon state assemblyman who is building a Republican voting machine to end the six-term Sanchez reign.
