Douchebag of the Day
Of course, Judge Sotomayor should be confirmed to the Supreme Court. She obviously wasn’t my first choice, for reasons I reported three weeks ago, having mostly to do with concerns about her temperament reported to me by former clerks and New York prosecutors. But I hope and assume the White House wrestled seriously with those questions of temperament and weighed them against Sotomayor’s other obvious strengths.
The Sotomayor Nomination [TNR]
Turley on Sotomayor:
More GOP Douchebaggery:
Because Scalia is such a nice guy to the attorneys who argue in front of him.
Having known a few ex-clerks of Sotomayor, they have great things to say about her.
Fucking douche.
Sotomayor?
Isn’t she that loud-mouth Puerto Rican the Repukelicans have been screeching about?
She’s like Rosie Perez’s cousin, right? Oh no you diduhn’t!!
I smell a Scalia/Sotomayor sitcom treatment.
“Antonin! I’m Ho-ome!”
Now I must get bizzee silk-screening my Sotomayor as Che t-shirt.
And her initials are S.S.–just like Hitler’s gay army!
THINK ABOUT IT, SHEEPLE!
Damn, if I’d seen this then Rosen would not have won DOTD.
@Original Andrew: I would totally watch a Sonia/Antonin sitcom, but more “Married…with Children” than “I Love Lucy”.
@blogenfreude: With Yoo, it’s not “of the day.”
How can you read that? It’s only one paragraph long and yet it still put me to sleep, somehow. Gah, style, wooden; point, lost in “style”; interest, see “point”.
My head hurts.
Sandra D had quite the reputation here in Phoenix for her temper and pissiness toward non-attorney staff.
But that seemed to have been overlooked during her confirmation process. Along with the fact that she didn’t have nearly the amount experience on the bench prior to her nomination that the Puerto Rican lady has.
@blogenfreude: Well, isn’t that the pot calling the kettle Mexican’t. Or something.
Oh, and a meme to counter the “she’s a mean dumb Puerto Rican chick” talking points of the right wingers.
On a lighter note, great lede from NYT:
Weiner Decides to Stay Out of Mayoral Campaign.
Yes, I am in 3rd grade.
Is this fresh?
Sonia Sotomayor ‘La Raza member’
Haven’t heard that angle yet, and it looks like an ACORN play. Although after somebody sniping that she doesn’t pronounce her name right, we may have achieved wingularity out of the gate.
@nojo: And to answer my question…
Tancredo: Sotomayor Is Member Of “Latino KKK”
Glenn Beck is right: Hyperventilation is a major cause of global warming.
@nojo: I love the quote from the immigrant-bashing group guy about the Supreme Court being no place for “brown supremecists” like her judgeship.
You know, I’m really not that happy with Barry on the whole, but it’s great to have him in the White House just to make the batshit crazies kick it up a notch.
@nojo: I guess if NCLR is the “Latino KKK without the hoods and nooses” then the NAACP is the “Black KKK without the hoods and nooses”?
Way to drive 45 million people into the arms of the Dems, you dumb fucks.
