MSNBC just had Elliot Spitzer on. I wonder what he thinks about political humiliation, effing moron.

Back to the article?
I refuse to believe that the author can compare a black woman walking thru a cordon of white people yelling and screaming-and very well threatening her with bodily harm - to some hack judge who doesn't show any emotion while she's being grilled by some idiot senators.
(I have to tell the joke from Red Eye now.....How many senators can fit up the rear of a Supreme Court nominee?)
As some of the people have posted, thre is no comparison.
Eckford walked the gaunlet with little protection from the crowd. How dangerous was her walk to get a little education? Do you think that SS was subjected to the same kind of animosity on her walk to a higher paying job?
EFF NO. She'll ride into that position on Eckford's coattailsand fear.
That is one of the problems with the bleeding heart bloggers who try to find a common link to people who really were the leading edge of the civil rights/EO fight.
As an American of Mex descent, I find that her touted as the First Latina SCJ a laugh. She's going to be a judge, so what?
Why does her 'latina-ness' have to be an issue?
To use the 'peeing puppy' analogy again?
She'll be welcomed into the fold by the 'peeing puppy faction'.
The PPF is the small dog that greets you at the door and is so happy to see you it pees on the floor and all over your shoes. IT does not care about anything thing else other than the fact that you are there. The media and politicians really don't care about this woman and her qualifications, they just want to be seen as the champions of women and race.
----------------------
DO we really want a person that shows no emotion as a SCJ? A wet pile of newspaper also has the same persona, so why not nominate that? I would rather see some passion, not a person who hides who they really are.
It's like that new BF/GF you think is really cool, until they show up at your house at three a.m. in the morning, asking why you haven't called them in the past 6 hours.
Nice at first, but effing creepy when you get to know them!

Last week a young black gal became the first "Black Woman to solo/fly across the U.S."
What about the "youngest white boy to circumnavigate the world in a sailboat" from last week?
The more we "color" the world of news,the more obvious our 'racism' becomes apparent.
It looks worse in "hi-def".
