Fun With Dick & Jane

The President  announced the appointment of Judge Sonia Sotomayor shortly before we went on the air which provided fodder for discussion.  I lamented that it is getting tougher and tougher to be a white male in this country these days, particularly in light of Judge Sotomayor’s remarks:

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life”

What a double standard we have in this country! A white male who made those remarks about white men would have been immediately disqualified.

We went on to discuss the Nancy Pelosi v Leon Panetta prize fight.  Dick believes a  Pelosi explanation or apology will save the day.  I mentioned that our intelligence agencies have a time proven way to win a fight (leaking) and the President and Speaker should be careful in this matter.

We talked briefly about the Cheney v Obama smackdown of last week.  Dick did not see it, so my gloating went unanswered.

We also talked about the situation in N. Korea which has worsened overnight.

Enjoy!
