It seems that a certain Judge has watched Avenue Q a few too many times:Apparently, holding sexist and racist views like Sonia Sotomayor will get you a nomination to the Supreme Court -- and here I thought the best way was to be a lapdog or a friend to torturers. . .
FTA:
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor.
To remind us of where we should be:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
But that's what happens when you politicize things. Just like folks politicized literature -- and as now we're stuck with this awful dreck (really, just search the links in the archives y'all) masquerading as poetry, we are stuck with this awful dreck masquerading as progress.
Things are seldom what they seem,
skim milk masquerades as cream. . .
update: she apparently is not a fan of free speech

I wonder if she's as bad as Reverend Wright, ultimately.
And whether BO will throw her under the bus, if it's pointed out that this is the ilk with whom he always chooses to associate himself.
