Malarkey Purge

Several extreme republican media persons have been criticizing President Obama’s Supreme Court pick Sonia Sotomayor. They seem to think that Sotomayor was picked solely because she is a Latina woman. There have also been accusations that she is not qualified, even though she has the appropriate experience and education.
I’d rather not beat a dead horse here, but I think it’s important to acknowledge a major contradiction that these media persons have made between last Fall and this Spring. I distinctly recall these same critics referring to McCain’s running mate pick of Sarah Palin as “smart.” This of course referenced that McCain’s pick was tactful, because Sarah Palin was not another white man. Now they are criticizing Obama for picking a person who is not a white man as if it’s too much of a coincidence that she’s also qualified. And as we all recall: many people criticized Governor Palin’s qualifications for Vice-President, but these same extreme republican media personalities seemed to look for any reason to justify her as qualified. Now they are looking for any excuse to find Sotomayor unqualified. Obviously they just want something to go after Obama about, and make money doing it.
In regards to accusations of her being racist, which is such hypocritical malarkey it makes my frontal lobe throb, I think these guys should clean up their own record before they point fingers. I am a white guy, but I want nothing to do with these two-faced mudslingers. The last thing I need is rich selfish loud mouths defending me from Latina women. Thanks but no thanks Limbaugh. If you’d like to do people of European decent a favor: retire and take a vow of silence.
