Rove and Limbaugh

Two of the most prominent members of the Republican Party, Karl Rove, and Rush Limbaugh, have already weighed in on President Obama's nomination of Sonia Sotomayor. Both Rove and Limbaugh never graduated from college. However, Rove and Limbaugh have announced that she is not smart enough. Seriously. Rove and Limbaugh could not handle the academic challenges of college but they've deemed themselves intellectuals.

Judge Sotomayor's bio is posted at the White House website:

....She first heard about the Ivy League from her high school debate coach, Ken Moy, who attended Princeton University, and she soon followed in his footsteps after winning a scholarship.

At Princeton, she continued to excel, graduating summa cum laude, and Phi Beta Kappa. She was a co-recipient of the M. Taylor Pyne Prize, the highest honor Princeton awards to an undergraduate. At Yale Law School, Judge Sotomayor served as an editor of the Yale Law Journal and as managing editor of the Yale Studies in World Public Order. One of Sotomayor’s former Yale Law School classmates, Robert Klonoff (now Dean of Lewis & Clark Law School), remembers her intellectual toughness from law school: "She would stand up for herself and not be intimidated by anyone." [Washington Post, 5/7/09].....

I think that the Republicans, along with Rove and Limbaugh, are showing their racist leanings again. If she were a white male, they'd be happy. I believe that Sotomayor will prove to be a great justice.
