I don’t know which I like less here, the AP’s editorializing in a despicably nasty way, or Judge Sotomayor’s obvious dissembling. I still don’t think she should be denied a seat on the Supremes. With only one vote out of nine, the only people she’s going to injure are the Hispanic-Americans she embarrasses. And, who knows, she might even turn out to be sensible. Other nominated dolts have.
UPDATE: Iowahawk’s savage humor on the "wise Latina" in question, however, I entirely approve of.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Still, I rather like the grilling that is customary in US for nominated public figures. Wish it were done here too.
Funny how people elsewhere like it while many Americans bemoan it as unnecessary division, etc. I agree with you. It’s a good idea, in the main.
