Another Case of SWORS

Mike Huckabee on Obama's new Supreme Court nominee:
The appointment of Maria Sotomayor for the Supreme Court is the clearest indication yet that President Obama's campaign promises to be a centrist and think in a bipartisan way were mere rhetoric. Sotomayor comes from the far left and will likely leave us with something akin to the "Extreme Court" that could mark a major shift.

Huckabee's criticism might be taken a little more seriously if the nominees' first name was actually Maria. It's Sonia Sotomayor.

If he hasn't taken the time to actually get the candidates' NAME right. how are we to believe he's actually familiar with anything Judge Sotomayor stands for?

Another case of Spasmodic Wingnut Outrage Syndrome in full bloom.

According to a news report (NPR?), she was originally appointed to the Federal court by one G. W. Bush . . .

Damned liberal.

Jedediah Davenport Rhoades' recent rant over Mark Huckabee's thoughtful response to President Ahmed Obama's nomination of Soledad O'Brien to the Supreme Court is just the latest in a series of examples as to just how out of touch the author is from the mainstream.

Hee!

Atrios's take is priceless: Aren't they all named Maria?

Jim Hetley said...

Okay, I tracked down an AP story that says it was G. H. W. Bush who appointed her a Federal judge, and Clinton elevated her to appeals judge. I guess the news-voice misread notes.

(Couldn't have been *me* making an error . . .)

Sounds like someone dropped an "H" there, Jim.
