Dear God,

Please let Republicans and their supporters be as short-sighted and stupid as I imagine they'll be when opposing Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court nomination. If we could could get some blatant racism, coupled with intense sexism, I'll be so much the happier.

Thanks,
Sam

Not sure if you caught this:

"The appointment of Maria Sotomayor for the Supreme Court is the clearest indication yet that President Obama's campaign promises to be a centrist and think in a bipartisan way were mere rhetoric."

That's right, Mike Huckabee, all Spanish people are named Maria.

"Maria/I just met a girl named Maria...."

Huckabee's seen West Side Story. He's hip. He's with it. Tucka tucka tucka tucka...

I see they're going with the Obama's a racist for appointing a Hispanic angle. That'll work wonders.

Idiots.


Ok - that's enough - My girl Maria Sotomayor is not Spanish - She is not Hispanic - she is Newyorican ok. She is also from the Bronx. Enough said.

I heard Pat Buchanan saying that Sotomayor's pick was an example of "reverse racism." Let's see how far that gets the Republican Party.

Oh, even better: Tom Tancredo is calling her a racist. Just a brilliant political party.

Last one: here's a guy bitching that she should say her name differently. This was published at what alleges to be one of the leading conservative intellectual websites.

What the fuck is reverse racism?

Apparently, reverse racism is a hispanic woman being appointed to the Supreme Court. Don't bother asking for a better explanation, because one doesn't exist. The Republicans are going to get murdered on this, and they're gleeful about it. It's shocking to watch.

As Lewis Black said, "So they got a rifle, loaded it with ammunition, got the target in their sites, turned the gun around, and shot themselves in the face."

Rush Limbaugh calls both Obama and Sotomayor "reverse racists" -

This is going better than I ever could have imagined.

No, really, I'll stop soon: Newt Gingrich twitters about Sotomayor's "racism."

Cannot be topped: Republicans question whether her choice of food matters.
