From Racialicious Managing Editor Arturo Garcia, who also works as an editor at The Raw Story:

The first release from a new “comedy super PAC” features actress Rosie Perez blasting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for his joke saying that he’d “have a better shot” at winning the election if he were Latino.

“Hispanics represent 17 percent of the population and account for less than 2 percent of all elected and appointed officials. The advantage is obvious,” Perez said in the ad, posted Monday at Actually.org. “Think of all our Hispanic-American presidents: From Jorge Washington to Jorge Bush, uno y dos. And who can forget Presidente Jimmy Smits,” a reference to Smits’ turn as Matt Santos on The West Wing.

In the video, Perez upped the ante, saying that if he were actually “a gay Latina,” Romney would have the election in the bag.

“Unfortunately for you, Mitt, you were cursed with the hard-knock life of growing up as the son of a wealthy governor and auto executive,” she said, before tearing up. “And when your father paid your way through private school, Harvard, Harvard Law, and bought your first car? I just can’t imagine how difficult that must have been for you.”

oh, that burn…
