But… but… but… Judge Sotomayor is ethnic! And a woman! She might not be properly deferential to the needs of white men in the same way that white men have always been properly deferential to the needs of everyone else for the last thousand years!

Not only that, but as G. Gordon Liddy so helpfully pointed out, what if she’s menstruating or about to menstruate before a key conference. Lord knows what kind of crazy shit she’d come up with then! Oh silly women and their menstruation, always ruining everything.

Anyway, yeah, her nomination is clearly racist. It can only be Affirmative Action to suggest that the most qualified person for anything isn’t a white male. Reverse Discrimation! Reverse Discrimation! Protect the endangered White Male!

Whoa. I’m sorry, I need to go lie down. I get light-headed just pretending to be that stupid.

“A latina judge from the Bronx?!?

Oh, you don’t know the half of it. Apparently, Sonia Sotomayor (or “So-So) will now be referred to as Justice J-Lo. I can’t decide if this is better or worse than Liddy’s remarks:
