Maureen Dowd is my HERO

I love Maureen Dowd. I'm sure there are Conservatives out there mad as hell about her recent editorial in the New York Times titled White Man's Last Stand, but I think it's absolutely wonderful. It admits everything we've been saying about Obama and Sotomayor all along.

I love this part:

President Obama wants Sotomayor, naturally, to bring a fresh perspective to the court. It was a disgrace that W. appointed two white men to a court stocked with white men. And Sotomayor made it clear that she provides some spicy seasoning to a bench when she said in a speech: “I simply do not know exactly what the difference will be in my judging, but I accept there will be some based on gender and my Latina heritage.”

The judge’s full retreat from the notion that a different life experience is valuable was more than necessary and somewhat disappointing. But, as any clever job applicant knows, you must obscure as well as reveal, so she sidestepped the dreaded empathy questions — even though that’s why the president wants her.

“We apply law to facts,” she told Kyl. “We don’t apply feelings to facts.”

She is admitting here that Obama WANTS a person on the court who will be empathetic to minorities. Not only that, but she's also saying that Sotomayor is up there LYING about who she is and what she actually believes! She says that we all know Sotomayor's not going to ONLY apply the LAW... that's what mean white men do! Who cares if that's what's IN THE CONSTITUTION.

See, liberals look at the Constitution as it was originally written and they see flaws that need to be fixed.

We all know why Sotomayer is hiding who she really is and how she really thinks. It's because the majority of Americans don't agree with her and therefore she would never be confirmed. If the majority of Americans really felt that empathy was needed in the highest court in the land rather than just applying the law, don't you think Obama and Sotomayor would be waving that around like a banner? They aren't. She's trying to sound like John Roberts, not Sonia Sotomayor.

So I say "Thank you" Ms. Dowd, you liberal lunatic, you. At least you have more guts than Obama and Sotomayor. You actually admit to the insanity you believe in.
