Why the Left Loves Sonia

[img]1|left|||no_popup[/img]This week Sonia will become the Michael Jackson of the past fortnight — the coverage will not even stop in your dreams.

Her foregone-conclusive confirmation hearings for elevation to the U.S. Supreme Court started this  morning in Washington.

Let the petunia-laden pomp of traditional canonization ceremonies begin. All hail, St.  Sonia.

Have you nailed your sox on tight?

Sonia represents the Left’s sociological quintessence:

She is not  married, and, whew, she does not have any children cluttering up the pristine earth the way that horribly fertile Palin woman does up in Alaska.

If you are on the Left, spouseless and childless, you can smell like last year’s goat cheese. It does not matter. Liberals will bronzi-fy you if you are seeking public office.

(Parenthetically, Ms. Palin could qualify for  similar pitty-pat media treatment as long as she kills the First Dude and submits, smilingly, to an abortion, preferably on the same day.)

Talk About Laundering a Rep

Even the most stable purveyors of news are in danger of being blown into the ocean and drowned this week by a hurricane of hallelujahs for Queen Sonia Sotomayor,  the feminine side of God. 

If you think the media pretzelmakers can twist a possible suicide by a weird entertainer into an undeniably sympathetic case that never dies, lock in your grip, pal.

The thrill ride that lies just ahead would even  make P.O.P. blush, if only the Ocean Park amusement palace had not shut down 42 summers ago.

Wait until you see the news-creators surgically re-arrange the uneven tale of How I Was the First Woman to Re-become  a Virgin as Sister Sonia is weaved into the heroic Love Child of this century and the next one.

We know how the story comes out. She is  shaping up as Swish Obama’s lone cornerstone victory in his first year in the White House.

Brother and  Sister?  Cousins?

People who did not know Sonia from Hugo Chavez a few weeks ago  — there is an uncanny resemblance — will swear that by being Latin, female, childless and unmarried, her enviably acrobatic mind automatically transcends the 14 sharpest legal — male — minds, cumulatively, in America.

How do we know this? If you know her gender, ethnicity and politics, only a right-wing cad would press on.

While  the liberal shleppers of feminist domination and manipulated minority mastery march up  and down our streets, this note  should not be forgotten:

Queen Sonia will  be the first affirmative action beneficiary to make the Supreme Court.

Which makes you wonder:

Will an artificially promoted student fare as well  on the Court as a truly qualified member? 

Sonia Week opens with two fascinating developments.

• You would need a flashlight to unearth and declassify the information, but here is the juice. Four years ago when President Bush’s Supreme Court nominee, Harrriet Miers, became a national punchline because of her obvious lack of qualification,  a  CNN poll reported that 43 percent of  Americans  opposed her nomination. This weekend, a whopping 40 percent of  Americans say that despite an avalanche of Sonia worship for the last 7 weeks by the dominant left-wing media, Sonia Baby should not be confirmed. Curious, isn’t it? She admits she is a bigot, and her pushers insist, “No, you are not.”

• On another hand, a significant number of legal analysts identified with the Right say that Ms. Sotomayor’s record suggests, unequivocally, that she has been and will be a fair arbiter, that she has imperfections but definitely was an appropriate choice by Mr. Obama.

Later this summer, despite a series of bigoted, racially loaded statements that she has repeatedly affirmed in public — that would have sent conservatives either to jail or the sidelines — Ms. Sotomayor will be overwhelmingly confirmed, perhaps to our regret.
