People were discussing right-wing spin on Sotomayor and I suggested that the next bit would be that she claims she went to Yale but that’s just how she pronounces “jail.” Got lots of chuckles from my fellow effete liberal elitists but looks kind of offensive now that I’ve written it down. If so, I apologize.

On a more serious note, I do suggest the GOP follow Amy Sullivan’s lead in suggesting that because Maria Sonia Sotomayer Sotomayor “was raised as a Catholic and attends church for family celebrations and other important events” she is a “non-practicing Catholic.” I’d love to watch a bunch of White Intolerant Male Protestant Southerners* (WIMPS) define who is really a Catholic.

That’ll help them win the Philly ‘burbs in 2012.

Yeah.
