Sonia Sotomayor is my nominee for Cagiest Person Of The Year
Goober Graham wanted to discuss her "Latina is better judge" quote. He feigned his inability to find it in his notes. He asked her to say the quote.

She sat silent.

He asked her to recite it again.

Again she stayed silent.

He found his notes. They moved on.




Imagine Faux with an out of context clip of her saying that at her hearing.




Good on you, Judge. Good on you!

3. Game, set, match.
I think they will get nothing from her; she's obviously exponentially smarter than Lindsey Graham.

4. You bet- she was excellent
Did you catch how she implied that he cherry picked from her quote? And after that his voice even sounded quivery. I thought he was going to have a meltdown right then and there. And then he took a drink of water and settled down. He knew how he put his own foot into a trap.

Score one for Sotomayor. A big one!

5. Graham has the nerve to question her understanding of
points of law....he who considers Sarah Palin to be a mental giant. It's disgusting to watch him lecturing her as if she was a wayward child. He's really making a fool of himself!

10. Now the Judge is lecturing Graham on what a board member of an organization is!
As if he is too stupid (which he probably is) to know.

19. He can't help but to be condescending - too bad she is smarter than he is
Edited on Tue Jul-14-09 04:43 PM by csziggy
And a much better person.

Edit - not really. Too bad Graham is unable to see that she is smarter and better than he is!

14. She was equally as brilliant
when Goober tried to get her to give her own personal views on abortion and the death penality. She played him like a fiddle.

16. Yeah, I bet he couldn't "find his notes." He wanted to elicit a nice fresh sound clip
so that Pigboy, Crybaby and Manatee could play it on a loop for the rest of the week.

Nice try, Lindsey. But Sotomayor is two or three or four steps ahead of you. :rofl:

17. When faced with actual competence and smarts...
the GOPers make asses of themselves.

Hey GOP! Not everyone is media created politician like Sarah Palin. Some people actually know what they are doing!
