The poor oppressed white male

By Creature

I can't possibly sum up all the conservative stupid surrounding Obama's pick of Sotomayor that has already been unleashed (I'll let TPM and Steven Benen take of that), but sufficed to say that none of the criticism has anything to do with the her mostly moderate and fair legal opinions. From the right's reaction so far, it's clear that being a white male in America is very hard indeed and that any hint of ethnicity is clearly an advantage to be exploited. Maybe this is why John Boehner keeps so tan.
