Nunez no habla conservative talk radio

This Monday radio talk show hosts descended on a tent outside of the state Capitol for the annual 'Capitol Clear Speak.' The event, hosted by Senate and Assembly Republicans, has traditionally drawn more conservative talk-shows, which dominate the radio waves (though two Air America stations showed up this year). Well, one radio host Eric Hogue was pretty displeased with Fabian Nunez. Today I (and a few other stations) were stood up by the Speaker at 8AM. He was scheduled to visit with me at eight, then shift to another station on 'radio row' near eight-thirty. He 'never' showed! Without word, or staffer visiting to inform the broadcasters that the Speaker was being held up by a pressing issue inside of his office, or maybe the latest installment of World Cup Soccer was to intense to pull himself away to discuss the state's budget. Then, as soon as I was off the air at 9AM...Nunez runs into the 'broadcast tent', past numerous talk stations and right to the 'only' Spanish speaking radio station in the tent. The Speaker sits and speaks with them 'in Spanish', then promptly gets up and walks out of the tent. In the end, Fabian Nunez gave one interview - a Spanish speaking interview with the only Spanish speaking radio station in the tent. The Speaker's not bi-lingual under a tent? UPDATE: Hogue has updated his post to say that Steve Maviglio, the speaker's deputy chief of staff, has called to dispute that Nunez was ever scheduled for the show.
