The Republican Establishment response to Obama’s nomination of The Hon. Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court is awesome. It was also predicted. (For the record, please note Matt Yglesias’ excellent posts about racism and modern Republicanism: here, here, here, etc.) I’ve long maintained that the Republican Party will eventually purify itself of its idiotic adherence to Caucasoid hegemony, if for no other reason than the inevitable ascendance of gigantic and untapped reserves of conservative political capital in minority communities. Certain pundits, however, hell-bent on preserving their own positions via firebrand invective, have gleefully sabotaged the interests of their party. It’s hysterical. Witness my favorite (beloved, really) red-meat Republican, Pat Buchanan (via Think Progress):
Spectacular. There’s nothing more welcome to liberal
politicians than an opposition fully committed to reinforcing the most damning
conservative stereotypes imaginable.
ADDENDUM: Pat's Back!
