Wise Italiana woman

So, today we head back into another day of hearings in the appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.
How many more times are the white Republican men going to badger her about her "wise Latina" remark?
Do they not hear themselves? How threatened they must truly be by a - gasp!- woman and a -double gasp!! - non-white woman.
The good ole boy bunch is being turned on its collective ear and they aren't even aware of how ridiculous they sound, they are so hell bent on preserving their position. I am almost embarrassed for them.
But this wise Italian woman is very happy to see Ms. Sotomayor's responses to them. She is patient, she is deferential. She is making them look even worse by her total command of herself. While they sputter and climb all over each other attempting to show their superiority and preserve their gonads, she is showing the world what a wise woman can do in the face of adversity.
And that is exactly what we need on the bench.
