Wonkette
Lindsey Graham’s least favorite Mexican monster, Sonia Sotomayor, learned English when she was 45 years old, from large-print comic books about Satan. And now, thanks to illegitimate president Barack Obama’s affirmative-action hiring policies, Judge Sotomayor is the star of today’s super-boring Senate confirmation hearing! Thanks to Ustream, we’ve got a live teevee video feed right here, so go ahead and make fun of everything, in the comments.
Wake up Ken, we’ve been commenting at length on the actual hearings in an earlier thread and your link is to some lame press conference on health care or whatever. Sonya will be back in 20 minutes, so calm down a bit.
See the problem is that these white boyz won’t be able to make Latino jokes anymore. Like when they ask if any Poles or Jews are in the room, then proceed to tell the requisite ‘joke’
So, when does she start baking tortillas while playing the accordion and dancing salsa?
Maybe Arlen Spector will rouse himself and ask about the pubic hair on the can of Naranja Mandarina?
TGY: There will surely be no salsa dancing with that broken foot of hers, but perhaps she can do the Mexican Hat Dance with the help of a cane — and a few shots of Tequila. What?! She’s not from Mexico? What difference does it make — she’s brown…
Jeff Sessions is championing the underdog in American society–white males. Latina whores have been keeping them down for eons. Its time for white males to stand up and demand their rights!
Ohm ma narayanja!
DO YOU SHEEPLE WANT SOCIALIZED TACO SALAD!?!? DO YOU WANT SOME BUREAUCRAT TELLING YOU HOW MUCH GUACAMOLE YOU NEED???!?!! PREPARE FOR THE LONGEST LINES AT TACO BELL WHILE YOU WAIT FOR YOUR DRIVE THROUGH MEXICAN ABORTIONS!!!!
Darn– I was kind of hoping Sotomayer would do what Sammy Sosa did when he testified to congress and bring a translator with him due to a sudden inability to speak English but it appears that she didn’t.
Fuck it! Do it live!
Looks like they’re about to start - at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/22887506#22887506
facehead: Mmmmm…socialized taco salad. With extra sour cream. Just like Stalin liked it. Muy delicioso, y comunista.
When do they ask her for her best taco recipe?
Damn you wonkette… you lead us on with promised visions of the appointee on “YouStream” but alas there are no golden showers from the cougarina to be seen
so around noon, that moran Tom Coburn was speaking- and he said “dudn’t” twice. He then said Judge Soto…mayor. He is worried about some statements of hers?!- Christ, the man is a US senator and can’t pronounce “doesn’t”
The junior senator from Minnesota looks like a little heavier than any of his colleagues.
Which brings me to the overlooked major news item of the day, namely the Minneapolis Somalis going home for jihad. I can sort of understand them - Minnesota is for Finns and Norwegians, not for Eastern Africans, who must have felt like so many fishes out of the water there.
For your entertainment during the break:
Pee Wee Herman gets a tour of the Alamo and learns how to say ‘tortilla’.

Ohmy god, that asshat just said “Congrats to your PARENTS” seriously, did this guy LISTEN to what the other senators have been saying about her childhood??? “Raised by a single mom”
Insensitive PRICK!
This show trial is boring. When does the rock throwing start?
“Today I had the first day of my senate confirmation hearings. Despite a lifetime of incredibly hard work, accolades, and respect from my peers, to get my next positions I have to spend the next few weeks being publicly criticized by mediocre white men whose intelligence levels rival rabid squirrels. FML.”
Almost Franken time.
Sessions has been a leading force for the acceptance and full intergration of jowly southern white politicians into American society, so I hope Soytamayor can learn something about diversity and sensitivity today.
saralovesyou: that’s “position,” not “positions”
an effective and fearless prosecutor …that introduced me to Cerveza Preparada. Now I cannot enjoy Budweiser without some Clamato or at the very least, a singular lime wedge.
saralovesyou: also- except rabid squirrels are still smarter than most of the GOP senators.
u guys r lazy~!!
Stop talking about Souter’s dead body.. sheesh
finallyhappy: I am ashamed to admit that I, too, use the word “dudn’t”. A combination of “didn’t” and “doesn’t”, I guess? Works better than the alternative, “dizzn’t”.
Sen Arlen Spector + socialized mexican salad = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzqt-ENnmHc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideosearch%3Fq%3Ddroopy%2520dog%26oe%3Dutf-8%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26um%3D1%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN%26h&feature=player_embedded
Stop. Franken time.
someone heckling Al Franken?! WTF!!!
I think they just escorted Palin’s family out..
Sweet — Al Franken mentions Ted Kennedy. Nice touch Al.
Disturbance? WTF that about?
Smoke Filled Roommate: Looked like it, didn’t it? Just what I was thinking.
I feel there is a superb metaphor to describe the value of wisdom acquired from the Latina life experience and a taco salad, but I just can’t put my finger on it. I keep coming back to the standard “shit taco” metaphor, with sour cream.
“most qualified nominee in 100 years”!! Oh you GO Al, and SNAP too besides.
Oh shit, Franken just told Judge Sotomayor she’s good enough, she’s smart enought, and doggone it, people like her.
Best Tweet on the “Social Stream” board next to this video so far: “TweetManiac247: @CBSNews what did sotomayor do that she’s in court and all this stuff is happening someone please fill me in…thx”
I can’t watch the tubes at work, so I’ll happily read my Wonkette for my updates, what happened to Franken?
Crab1: happened earlier when another one of those liberal- commie- forced abortionists was speaking-or as we know them- Democrats. Patrick Leahy told the sergeant at arms to take the person out, said everyone deserves respect when speaking- the senators, Judge Sotomayor and the guests of the Senate who have waited patiently to get inside (and hear the senators drone on). He thanked the Capitol Police for their rapid and polite response- as ever. I was hoping they would take the guy outside and beat the crap out of him
Haha Leahy– Oath of Office… shoo-in!
And for everyone’s amusement, apparently the Newtster is now twittering in Spanish:
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/13/gingrichs-twitter-spanish/
my god, chuck schumer… the schmaltz, you have it.
Why does this woman keep alternating between, SotomayOr, SotomayEr, and SotomayIr?
Damn, Schumer is a fidgety bitch!
still a lot of very upset white people that this move didn’t bring more of ‘em into the tent.

c’mon, people. he danced like an asshole to “she bangs” ferfuckssake. way back when all the world didn’t realize he was really just a plain ol’ asshole. and “you people” have the fucking temerity to overwhelmingly vote for the guy whose party isn’t in favor of deporting you? and now you’re in love with his activist Latina abortionist? well, jezzus. what the fuck are we supposed to do now?
saralovesyou: I always feel sorry for the Supreme court nominees, even the Republican ones because all of them are well qualified (well, except for Clarence Thomas) and extremely intelligent (well, except for Clarence Thomas) and yet they have to spend days/weeks sitting in front of a bunch of nitwit blowhards who go through their entire life looking for something juicy and judging them on everything they’ve ever done and then go on and give ten minute or so speeches about the importance of banning animal/human hybrids or the oppression of the white male and the nominee just has to sit there and smile and pretend that what the nitwit blowhard is saying is of high intelligence. Except for the fact it’s a lifetime, something which is of high value in today’s economy, it’s almost not worth it, especially as you’d have to spend days upon days trying to fight off the urge to not strangle Scalia.
Hooray For Anything: It’s great when you read furhter and see where he called Spanish the language of living in the ghetto. I thought that was Yiddish(well, for my family)
Has she been drawn and quartered yet?
I heard from another website that Schumer used the phrase “God’s noble experiment” in relation to America MULTIPLE TIMES. I thought the best part of us ran down the crack of our mama’s ass and ended up as a brown stain on the mattress, according to noted historian R. Lee Ermey.
Telemundo has hotter chicks.
facehead: You did will with the ALL CAPS, but you need more exclamation points combined with 1s and some more egregiously misspelled words.
God, Leahy was grumpy..
Looks like Leahy used up all his new brain cells learning how to pronounce “Sotomayor,” so Gillibrand lost out. Guess you really can’t have both gender and racial justice.
“Hola, estimados senadores. Es un privilegio aparacer antes de ustedes y estaré muy encantada responder a sus cuestiones…”
At this point, the GOP senators’ heads explode, and Sotomayor is confirmed unanimously.
