Just curious: has any Republican Senator praised Sotomayor for her stamina
coming to D.C. on crutches and with cast? I mean - talking to a microphone shoved in front of them and say something like: what a trooper?

1. I heard today the rethugs were visiting her today vs. her visiting them.
I don't recall names, but I think they finally realized they might have manners that should have kicked in yesterday.

Oh, and they were signing her cast. :D

2. The only positive thing I've heard is Martinez defending the "wise Latina" comment
and that's just because he's not running for re-election.

6. Right, so he does not have to run to Limpdick, pounding his chest
crying mea culpa..

Being a Latino himself he could understand where she is coming from.

4. There was a joke story about that on HuffPo
but it was a satire piece, not real.

9. She's a shoe in at this point but I think this only helps her.
You're right ... she's being a trooper.

(of course if I were in her position, I'd crawl on my belly from office to office if I had to)
