TPM: Right Winger thinks Sotomayer's Latin diet may influence her decisions.

In the same speech in which she made the comment about white men the right wing-nuts are up in arms about, she also said this:

"My Latina identity also includes, because of my particularly adventurous taste buds, morcilla, -- pig intestines, patitas de cerdo con garbanzo -- pigs' feet with beans, and la lengua y orejas de cuchifrito, pigs' tongue and ears."

TPM's Brian Beutler writes:

"According to Hill reporter Alexander Bolton, 'This has prompted some Republicans to muse privately about whether Sotomayor is suggesting that distinctive Puerto Rican cuisine such as patitas de cerdo con garbanzo -- pigs' tongue and ears -- would somehow, in some small way influence her verdicts from the bench.'"

That's what Obama is up against here folks, it's going to be a tough fight for sure! Not!

I mean, he's got a majority in both houses of congress, Michael Steele running the GOP and Dick Cheney and Rush Limpballs as his only opposition. Why isn't he king of the universe yet?

did not nominate a real leftie.

The shit from the pukes would not be any less strident, ridiculous, or (hopefully) futile.

He could have compromised with later nominations, as his political capital diminishes over the years.

Another lost opportunity.

Think about Miers. I said from the moment I heard about her that she was a decoy - Rove's way to get the Democrats to bitch and moan - so she could be asked to resign and they could appoint a real SOB in her place. I was right - we got Roberts.

they'll gain braincells too.

Or the old Frito Bandito commercials.

restaurant, too.

Seriously.

That shit fucks up your JUDGEMENT.

and they're a nutty as they come. There might be something to this! or it could be all the sugar they ingest. They put the stuff in everything. Even milk!

A diet of Tacos de Cabeza, Tacos de Ojo, or Tacos de Lengua are sure to turn you into a rabid socialist. It's proven.

wow. what a non issue

etc., etc. ad nauseam (literally!) :puke:

it looks to me like Bolton was making a point.
