President HW Bush: "Judge Sotomayor has a distinguished record . . . and is not a racist".

Remember the "Kids Table"?



Everything starts out fine until Rush won't stop making fart sounds with his armpit and Sean keeps giving everyone 'Noogies' and Bill just keeps saying "Did So, Did So, Did So. . . ".

Finally Poppy comes over and yells "That's enough! Keep it up and you don't get any Ice Cream".



Well here he comes again telling the numbskulls at the 'kiddy table' to cut it out:

Bush defends Sotomayor nomination


WASHINGTON, June 12 (UPI) -- Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush has come the defense Judge Sonia Sotomayor, who has been nominated to a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court
.

Politico reported Friday that the former president said it is "not right" to label President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee a "racist."

"She was called by somebody a racist once. That's not right. I mean, that's not fair," Bush said in an interview with CNN. "It doesn't help the process. You're out there name-calling. So let them decide who they want to vote for and get on with it."

Bush said lawmakers should reserve judgment on Obama's first nominee to the nation's highest court.

"I don't know her that well, but I think she's had a distinguished record on the bench and she should be entitled to fair hearings," he said.

2. Is there supposed to be a picture in your OP?
I see a little box where a picture would go nicely.

3. Don't give George W. any credit. It was George H.W. who said that was not right.
No that HW is much better, but W didn't do anything to get credit. He seems to still be pretty much "out of it" to me.
