Chilean miner Edison Peña on the David Letterman Show, with interpreter Cassandra

Great to see you back here, and great to see a wonderful colleague on one of the biggest US TV shows. My only gripe: why not give us her full name? How patronising, how condescending of Letterman and his writers! And he has to read his introduction of her from his crib sheet, too...

But here's the video – enjoy! The fun really starts at about 1:15 in the first clip – just drag the locator button in there and watch the rest.





By the way, Cassandra says that for over twenty years she has been "an interpreter for indigenous peoples' leaders in UN negotiations on the environment and human rights."
Proud of you, woman!
