Jim Inhofe is going to vote against Sonia Sotomayor without even meeting with her, but it doesn’t matter because she’s going to get confirmed anyway because of racism, or something. So let’s just get these confirmation hearings over with so Jim Inhofe can go back to sitting on his porch with his shotgun, keeping the durn kids offa his lawn. (Tulsa World)
  • FOX News are whiny brats, in addtion to being full of shit. Wait, hold on, why is this news? (Think Progress)
