Damn me for being Fair & Balanced GRRRR!!!
Just when i thought I was done with trying to be all "Fair And Balanced" in favor of going entirely Hippie-Leftist, stuff happens that makes me have to be a voice of reason :(
CURSE YOU, TOM DeLAY!!!!
Lots of sources today are accusing Tom DeLay of "basically" saying that Sotomayor was given her position because she's a Mexican chicka.
I would usually leave such broad, unresearched accusations to my Right-Wing friends... but this is coming to me from THE LEFT!
Now don't get me wrong... I hate Mr. DeLay and would love to force him in to smoking a bong full of medicinal marijuana while performing a State-approved abortion. But I've read it and re-read it over and over again and find nothing wrong with what he was saying here:

Really, it seems to me that all he's saying is "Everybody needs to look BEYOND the whole Race/Gender thing and be sure that this IS somebody that we want on the Supreme Court".
That... that's *reasonable*. I can't say I disagree with that!
