Seems the National Review erred in dubbing Sonia Sotomayor the one “Wise Latina” on Earth, because, as Joe Klein might say, if she’s so smart then why can’t she walk? “WASHINGTON (AP) – Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor broke her ankle Monday morning in an airport stumble on her way to Washington to meet with senators who will vote on her confirmation.” That is clearly not why she was in an airport, silly AP writer with a “September 10th” world view.

Haha, a likely story. No doubt she had her foot up somebody’s ass SO far, she broke her ankle.
Great … now when a Senator argues that she leans left, there will be no rebuttal.
Way to go, Soeye Sofellondafloor.
Yeah, let’s see you vote against a DISABLED Latina now, Republicans! Keep it up, smart guys, and we’ll make her gay, too!
In other news, Jeff Sessions (R – Dickistan) was reported absent from the Senate floor and Capitol Hill PD has reported the theft of one anti-riot baton…
Why does everyone always make such a big deal about Sotomayor being Mexican or something? It’s obvious she can’t walk because she’s a woman.
Heal thyself, Wise Latina.
[re=334113]nbawriter[/re]: lol I love you.
Also known as the Scooter Libby sympathy ploy.
Ankle casts are good places to hide suicide vests. Just saying.
I’ve seen this before, the vodka on domestic airlines is the rottgut from the Holiday Inn mini-bar but it will put you on your ass if your not careful. I’m not saying that because she’s a woman, I’m saying it because she’s a messikan…you know how them people drink.
An old white man would have hurt himself moving boxes instead of tripping in an airport.
If memory serves Stephen Breyer broke his arm falling off his bicycle around the time he was nominated. Fun SCOTUS fact.
[re=334120]Capricatony[/re]: I bet she’s gets no empathy from the Repubs on the Judiciary Committee.
A more appropriate Family Guy clip. And by appropriate, I mean totally inappropriate, in that the way it depicts Senate Judiciary hearings is inaccurate, in that the Senators aren’t standing individually in front of the nominee to question her.
“She was keeping her six appointments with senators despite the injury, which has her walking with crutches.”
Can you imagine the howls from the Republicans if she hadn’t kept the appointments?
[re=334123]dijetlo[/re]: She is a rasicst and practices “identity polictics” therefore, she was on her ass due to tequila.
How long before Limbaugh claims this was an intentional act to gain sympathy?
Hmm… weak bones… low calcium intake… aha!
WHY DOES SOTOMAYOR HATE OUR DAIRY INDUSTRY?
This means she’ll be hopped up on Percocet for the confirmation hearings. Is that good, or bad?
Maybe she can have one of her cats drive her to the hospital, the loser.
Where was Tonya Harding when this alleged “ankle breaking” occured?
Now Senator Sessions has to break his entire leg, all the way up to the elbow, to show a white man can do it better.
[re=334132]19kevin8[/re]: She’ll make the appointments — but she might skip the jai alai game later tonight.
Who knew that Jeff Gillooly and Shawn Eckhardt were now chief strategist for the Republican Party?
[re=334138]lizard scum[/re]: As the New Republic would say.
Of course, this is what you have to expect when you hire your Supreme Court Justice from a bunch of day-laborers in front of the Home Depot. She was probably drunk or high or something.
It all comes back to Newt, who tried to pull a Tonya Harding on Soto by coming at her with a baseball bat while screaming “PINATA!”
see Rush….right…right ankle…means she puts more weight on her right “ankle”. Of course your right is her left…
[re=334146]SayItWithWookies[/re]: But will she participate in the SCOTUS bocce ball tournament?
She actually broke it dancing in the Tony’s broadcast, a side gig she will give up if named to the Supreme Court or to the preliminary card of a championship fight. Soon to be “Flashdance III: Rags to Robes and Rope-a-Dope.”
Does this mean she can’t dance with the Sharks anymore?
Looks like somebody ate the worm.
Clearly, someone forgot to take their Boniva.
Ooh, the TSA has a new enemy. If they hadnt made her take off her shoes, this would have never have happened.
Would anyone else pay to see TSA employees waterboarded and/or anal probed?
Isn’t she going to sue LaGuardia? What kind of American is she, anyway?
This is the story of her red right ankle…
Also, thanks to Newt Gingrich, I can’t tell what’s parody anymore.
