'Change we can believe in?' Sotomayor's a YANKEES FAN!!!

[UrbScotty]

Born in the South Bronx, she was raised in a housing project not far from Yankee Stadium, making her a lifelong Yankee's fan. I hope this will not disqualify her -- (laughter) -- in the eyes of the New Englanders in the Senate. (Laughter.)

THIS IS NOT WHAT I VOTED FOR WHEN I VOTED FOR OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PALIN/LIMBAUGH 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. That should disqualify her by itself...

:rofl:

[flvegan]

2. As much as I now question her taste and judgment

I can't find fault with being a fan of your hometown team. Even if it is the Stankees.

[UrbScotty]

7. She could've been a Mets fan

Just sayin' :-)

3. Lord help us..., there goes the Court!! n/t

[edbermac]

4. Does she take steroids as well?

Take a seat next to Bork...you're history, lady. :7

[jakefrep]

5. Since she ended the '94 strike..

...she's to blame for the steroid "scandal" in baseball.

Then again, I fully expect a Republican crackpot to try to pin that on her in the confirmation hearings.

6. I learned earlier today that she was also instrumental in bringing the 94/95 strike to an end.

So that's two good things about her, and that's just on baseball. I'm on board. :D

[UrbScotty]

9. ELITIST!

:D

[bigwillq]

8. I like her even better now!!

:) :bounce:

10. You would perhaps prefer a justice who was not a baseball fan at all?

Communist. :P

11. A Filibuster, led by the Senators from Maryland and Massachusetts, is in order

12. Roberto Clemente wept

and he took those bastards down back in '60!

but i knew we were going downhill electing a ChiSox fan (and a tarheel apologist to boot)

[UrbScotty]

13. Told you he's a secret Republican!
