gonzaiYou probably heard that sound a few minutes ago when Obama officially announced Elena Kagan as the new nominee to the Supreme Court. It was the sound of right wing heads exploding.
I wonder what they'll hate about her the most? They're unlikely to bring up the one legit criticism of her, that she's never actually been a judge. Why complaint about that, when there's so much else about her to drive them up a wall? Being a woman? Being Jewish? Being from New York? Being liberal? And of course, the biggie that'll really drive them crazy, that she might be a lesbian. They're going to go absolutely bananas. I may have to give up on news entirely in an attempt to avoid the hate slinging.
FWIW, other than mild concern over her never having been a judge, I think she's an excellent choice.
