THOSE 32 WORDS

The wingers and the MSM have been repeating the infamous 32 words from Judge Sotomayor's 2001 Berkeley speech and have made no attempt to provide the context. ABC Radio News doesn't even bother to quote the words and basically repeats Mike Gallagher's smear: Sotomayor said that a Latino woman would be a better judge than a white male.

Gloria Borger of CNN isn't much better than Gallagher:

Sotomayor's now infamous statement that, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." Foolish, yes. Self-serving, sure.
