Republican poobah Newt Gingrich has lambasted Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor as a 'racist' because she implied that a Latina woman could empathize with certain situations as a judge better than a white male could, and so would come to sounder judgments.Just so everyone remembers, this is Newt Gingrich's idea of the difference between the sexes:
'If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for 30 days because they get infections.... Males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes.'
I hate to trivialize the posting of such an esteemed scholar as Juan Cole, but my immediate thought is:
If only Newt (and a number of his cohort) would go hunt giraffes. And let them do it in Greenland.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
