		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kindergarten graduation was adorable yesterday. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our family still has fond, and often re-told memories of our daughter’s kindergarten graduation, at which she sat on the edge of the stage, waving her skirt [and exposing her undies], when not hitting her fellow “graduates” with a rolled up program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was 18 years ago.  She’s now a gainfully employed college graduate.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I want to add to my point concerning which direction sotomayor rules when I said;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have seen some of sotomayor’s rulings as well and to be quite frank I couldn’t give a flying hoot if she’s not accepted&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;limbaugh actually went public that he would support sotomayor if he knew she were anti choice&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bing, I rest my case&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;None of this rightwing attack machine crapola is about Sotomayor alone. It’s designed to throw up an artificial wall on Sotomayor as the “most liberal” judge the right will accept without a big, honking fight. It’s meant to warn off the Obama administration and the Dem leadership in the Senate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bingo christy, right on the money&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;where bush (or handlers) demonstrated genious was to trott out the MOST concervative judge they could find, ram them down our throats and threaten that if these judges were not approved then an even MORE concervative judge would be appointed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so some think obama is some kind of poker player, some kind of “third dimensional chess player”, in fact we see he plays his cards pretty bad and he can’t play chess at all&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you have hit the nail on the head, this is about moving the bar for what can and cannot be proposed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have seen some of sotomayor’s rulings as well and to be quite frank I couldn’t give a flying hoot if she’s not accepted&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;not one bit, however given obama’s record for playing his hand as badly as can be played, he will actually find a judge even more concervative then sotomayor&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for throwing down the gauntlet on this one. The judiciary is a place where we can all win or lose our civil liberties and I am with you 100% on keeping those thank you very much. The crucial check of the judiciary is what we should be fighting for. We have so much to lose.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because that assholery gives them notoriety. In today’s tabloid media environment?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There’s no such thing as “bad publicity.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I get it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve complained about the frequency of Sotomayor posts versus the dearth of Dawn Johnsen posts… this post helps give me some perspective - because wingnuts are using the SCOTUS nomination for high profile fund raising and throwing red meat to their base. not so much with Johnsen…&lt;br /&gt;
Johnsen is timely and we need her to be confirmed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Obama disses TV &lt;strong&gt;“&lt;/strong&gt;news channels&lt;strong&gt;“&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://tvNewser.com/politics/pres_obama_i_dont_find_most_of_the_cable_chatter_persuasive_117996.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://tvnewser.com/politics/p.....117996.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During [the Tuesday, June 2]  NBC News special “Inside the Obama White House,” as the president and Brian Williams were driving to get burgers, Williams asked Pres. Obama whether when he’s watching cable TV and lands on a news channel and sees a debate underway about him, does he stop and watch?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I generally don’t. Mainly because I don’t find most of the cable chatter very persuasive. I’ve used this analogy before, it feels like WWF wrestling. Everybody’s got their role to play. I know a lot of these guys. And if Pat Buchanan is having a conversation with Chris Matthews or talking to Keith Olbermann, everybody’s got their set pieces and, so, I don’t feel as if I’m learning anything from the debate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- - Barack Obama&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;So late to this thread that I’m probably EPU’d with this, but Eric Boehlert at Media Matters has a great takedown of the Sotomayor flap, with an interesting perspective on WHY the media has so badly failed us. It is a must read, IMHO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mediamatters.org/columns/200906020003&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Sotomayor, Gingrich and the demise of our press corps&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
