KBH Troubled By Sotomayer's "Racist" Comments

KBH, likely in an effort to “court” conservative voters, hasn’t warmed to B. Hussein Obama’s first SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayer.  KBH called Sotomayer’s now-infamous “wise Latina” comment as “troubling,” but she wouldn’t go so far as to call her a “racist.”  Politico reports: “Hutchison took issue Sotomayor’s statement about a ‘wise Latina’ judge making better decisions than a white male judge. ‘It does trouble me to say that one type of old person versus another one is going to make a better decision…Those are troubling [statements,]’ Hutchison said. 

However, the Texas senator made clear she was not interested in leveling the charges of racism bandied about by conservative talk show host Rush Limbuagh and former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.). ‘I definitely think we need to have the respectful tone…Arguing the facts, not trying to label someone I think is important and I think going forward that’s what you will see from the senators that are involved in the process,’ Hutchison said.” http://www.politico.com/blogs/politicolive/0509/Subdued_Hutchison_Wise_Latina_comment_troubling_.html?showall
