		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Palin&#8217;s speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention was a masterpiece.  Since then, it&#8217;s been all down hill.  I&#8217;ve been trying to find a charitable, non-negative way to interpret her verbal awkwardness.  At this point, the overwhelming impression is &#8220;incoherence&#8221;.  
Judging from Palin&#8217;s resignation speech, I have to agree with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They say it takes one to know one.  If so, maybe we should listen to Sherrilyn Ifill on Sonia Sotomayor&#8217;s racist (or not) status.   Ifill wants us to believe her.  Really, she does. Here are shorts from Ifill&#8217;s piece published today at CNN (with my emphasis and commentary):

		<description><![CDATA[Is Sonia Sotomayor a &#8220;racist&#8221;?  Most would agree that the answer depends on how we define the term &#8220;racist&#8221;.   But how many Americans are comfortable with a Supreme Court justice who publicly states that the answer depends on the race or sex of the listener? This question is now before the United States [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The short video below, in which Sonia Sotomayor effectively touts courts as legislators, suggests that one smart ass has just nominated another to the Supreme Court.  Sotomayor is a clown.  Her nomination is yet another indication of Mr. Obama&#8217;s (and George HW Bush&#8217;s) lack of seriousness.  The boy president strikes again using [...]]]></description>

The most consistent concern was that Sotomayor, although an able lawyer, was &#8220;not that smart and kind of a bully on the bench,&#8221; as one former Second Circuit clerk for another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s always been a matter of curiousity to me that those who practice homosexuality in the United States feel so oppressed.   They have jobs, they can march and say ridiculous things whenever they want.   In some states &#8212; like California &#8212; their &#8220;lifestyle&#8221; is even given special legal recognition through &#8220;civil unions&#8221;.

Patrick Leahy&#8217;s absurd assertion that 9th Circuit Court judge Jay Bybee should resign for his role in helping write what has come to be known as the &#8220;Bybee Memo&#8221;.   Leahy needs to read his history and get a sense of perspective.

It&#8217;s an interesting choice on so many levels.  On one level, you have Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and Raul Castro who endorsed Obama followed by Obama endorsing Jon Huntsman.
