Splainin'

I was all set to defend Republican Senator Tom Coburn. Sure, he's way out there on everything, but the first clip I saw of his Ricky Ricardo moment when questioning Sonia Sotomayor seemed to be discussing a hypothetical and legally suspect response by someone other than Sotomayor to a less than immediate threat. I was all set to take the media to task for trimming the quote to make it worse.

Uh, no. He did indeed direct his comment at Sotomayor.



Of course, it was bad enough even when I thought he only happened to retreat to stereotype.
