Wonkette
Sonia Sotomayor is so wacky that after breaking her ankle, she made a flight to Washington D.C. and visited the White House before going to the hospital. Why was Barack Obama unable to heal her? [YouTube]

Very crafty, a ploy to play on the support of the Hispanic handicap voters. What a racist move.
What if this makes her biased for
universalgovernment takeover of healthcare? Can you even imagine how much it would suck if your doctor had to check with the supreme court before they could give you life saving medication?Rush just said on his show that his followers should support Sonia as long as she gives him her unused Codeine, OxyContin, Percocet and Vicodin that she got at the hospital.
BECAUSE OBAMA waS 2 bizzy sightseeing in PARIS. I am NOT a NAIL!
She is limping because it hurts to kick the living shit out of the entire Republican Party.
She was trying to stomp a cucaracha. It was a brown cucaracha, so she is racist.

Lucky Judge Sotomayor has gubmint health insurance; wonder how long it took to get examined at an ER, get the scrip for the crutches and then fill said scrip.
Snark aside, I feel my sister Portia’s pain, being a veteran sprainer of my ankles on a regular, klutzy basis.
But, hmmm, if the laying on of Hopey’s hands could… uh… heal, I’d be engaged in a bout of trip ‘n’ falls in front of The White House….
~ insert lame attempt at humor ~
Oh, that little broken ankle? It’s nothing a little powdered baby skull worn in a bag around the neck can’t handle.
wow, a woman, a Latina, AND a cripple all in one? If only she could become a Jew and a lesbian we’d have the full set!
This is clearly just a sham. There is no way that TSA would let a brown skin person through security with crutches clearly hiding her prayer rug and explosives.
Wow. Just. Wow. Look at that spunk, look at that moxie.
This also proves that God does exist (nyah nyah to all you athiest libsocialists out there) God is punking and pwning all wingnuts as soon as they speak. Did Newt not just deem Sotomayor a ‘Whinoceris’?
Yes, Newt did, as per an (infallible) Wonkette post earlier today.
She is no ‘Whinoceris’.
God works in mysterious ways.
She was hurt by gunmen firing at a mosque? At La Guardia? What’s going on?
SayItWithWookies: I was going so suggest a fetus smoothie.
Now she has teh sypmathies for cripples. Lord look out if the ADA gets challenged!
Between her being a cripple, Ginsberg having cancer, Stevens being seriously old, and Thomas and Scalia being cranky MoFos, this would be a GREAT time to be an intern for SCOTUS!!
Just took a closer look at the video; aren’t those crutches WAY too short for her? And she’s itty-bity. The padded armrests are supposed to be just under the armpit, though not resting, right? (Been a lotta years since I used crutches, and I’m surely jinxing myself now….) Did she get the unadjustables/whatever’s available equipment?
Now she’s going to need 60 senators to sign her cast before she can get it off
drunk wound? i think very possible. remember what rosen said!
Scarab: That’s one of the most racist things I’ve ever read!
Bronkers: But, hmmm, if the laying on of Hopey’s hands could… uh… heal, I’d be engaged in a bout of trip ‘n’ falls in front of The White House….
Bad, very bad. I want you to go to your room and think about what you’ve done or what Barry would do to comfort you…
Um…topic…she’s just faking the injury in order to smuggle the crutches into her confirmation hearing where she will show Chuckles Grassley just who is a hammer and who is a nail…
evan7257: WIN.
azw88: Interning would be attractive only if you’re also proficient in CPR and dialing 911 for immediate medical intervention. I’m thinking Harvard MEDICAL School rather than Harvard Law might be the intern employment ‘Open Sesame’ for the new Court.
This is a bit extreme. I honestly believe the President would have given her an autograph, if she had just asked nicely.
Holding Out for a Hero: Did you need to give me a hot flash when I still have work to do here at the office, and billable, yet?
Bronkers: Then get off of Wonkette and get to work missy or mister (said in stern Mother voice)
Um..topic again…perhaps she means to take one of those crutches and break it off in Newt’s ass…
Pat Pending: The Legacy of James Watt fulfilled.

Breaks ankle, doesn’t go to hospital as she goes about her business. Jebus Christmas, she’s a cyborg from the future. Run, Newt! She’s here for you!
She has crutches which is similar to the Spanish word “cruces” which means crosses so she is obviously an Atheist, abortion-loving, pedophile.
Got to admit, after googling her princeton yearbook pic, she was pretty cute… and if I was not six years old in 1976 I might’ve….(not a knock out or anything but hey…)
“fractured ankle” = fractious anger = fascist acorn!
donner_froh: Hmmm, Percocet, OxyContin, and Vicodin…and I though POV stood for something completely different.
Did she fracture her ankle while firing on the mosque or after? (Man, I hate the kyron.)
Wondering if she is wearing a garter belt and one stocking, or if she cut the other leg off a pair of panty hose and if it is rolling up her thigh and driving her fucking insane all day. Also, she should meet the dude who got gauged in the balls by a deer and went to work before going to the hospital. Could be a DCHarmony.com couple in the making.
All hail Princess Maria Sotomayor! Damn, breaking an ankle is painful enough, ouch. Walking on crutches sucks bitter, bitter donkey balls, even if you’re in decent physical shape. Which our princess (no offense meant) probably is not. Last time I did this I stayed home from work for six weeks just to avoid being on crutches the whole time. Of course I am not made of the sterner stuff that our next SCJOTUS Princess Maria is made of. She probably didn’t take any of the painkillers, either, until all her meetings were out. She is indeed more than a match for the pansy senate republicans.
Does the Capitol Police have a maximum allowable FUPA size?
Empathy fail? You you really want a SCOTUS who doesn’t feel her own pain feeling yours?
This will give senators an opportunity for faux empathy, and corresponding outright double-edged, passive aggressive, meanness.
My fantasy is she slips into a Bronz accent, pulls a switchblade, saying “Doan mess wit mee mudderfuukah, Ai cut joo!
You know, John McCain kinda looks like Steve Martin in that bullshit-healer-in-a-tent-in-fucking-Nebraska-maybe-who-cares-surrounded-by-corn-at-least POS movie. I forget the title.
What I’m saying is, this is a chance for big political points for the maverick, as long as he remembers not to call her a cunt or wear a sombrero to the meeting.
If she had Hillary Clinton’s ankles, we’d be talking about the broken floor in the airport.
wwidrrty martini: WIN. HIlarious!
KilgoreTrout_XL: And McCain should also have on the multicolored serape with that sombrero to formally welcome her to the Senate. “Bone-us Day-es Senior-ita”…
WadISay: cankles rule, I submit to our support hose overlords
PROTIP for Newt: if she asks if your name is Sarah Conner, say no.
Will she now have to recuse herself from Obama vs. Pfizer?
So So “Feels No Human Pain” … then her pain is…vegetable? animal? robot?
ha what a trooper!
Can you think of anything more racist than a Latino with an injury? What if a white person had been in her position? I bet the liberal MSM would have seen that person as weak. BUT NOT WITH THIS STATE RUN MSM. They will prop up this Sotomayor to be not only injured, but intelligent. The superior race of White, Christian gay men should not stand for this.
This is why one should never wear fuck-me pumps to a job interview.
this reminded me of the time a couple of years ago when robert bork injured himself at the yale club. he was walking up some steps to the dais and fell… and then he sued the yale club, which is totes in line with his constitutional originalist philosophy. tort reform etc. assmunch.
Holding Out for a Hero: You just reminded me that they need a folding chair or two in addition to the crutches at the confirmation hearings, and a referee who will easily be distracted. DEATH MATCH!!!!
Mr Blifil: Or at least not at the airport. Those moving walkways can be a real bitch in those!
Plsnt conv. w sotomyr. 1 hr mtg. Look frwd 2 hrg and mre details abt recrd.
New York to D.C. with a broken ankle - what a pussy! It’s not exactly Houston to Wasilla with a screaming retarded baby pressing against your vagina, now, is it?
That Police Lady looks like the woman from Police Academy with the really meak voice.
It takes a lot to fell a dusthead from down by Yankee Stadium in the South Bronx. That neighborhood is full of empathetic people who feel no pain of their own.
Pat Pending: My wife already thinks she is a lesbian.
Newt knows that this injury will be difficult for Soto. With a broken ankle you can’t use a prayer rug, kick a white fireman down the stairs or, as a womanalist, use the potty without peeing all over your leg.
A wise Latina gathers no moss.
Mr Blifil: Even if you’re a guy?
That gal in the yellow blouse and blue open jacket to Her Honor’s right has that classic “United-States-Secret-Service-You-Even-Cough-And-I’ll-Shoot-Three-More-Holes-In-Your-Nose” look.
Just sayin’ you might want to keep your hands out in the open.
