In another of MSNBC's regular foaming-at-the-mouth confrontations with anyone critical of the Obama adminstration, David Shuster takes on U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) in discussing Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Tancredo points out that Sotomayor has a lot of 'splainin' to do concerning past remarks and associations that imply sexism, racism or both.
Tancredo's former colleague in Congress, Rep. Susan Molinari (R-N.Y.), is also on the show and treated with kid gloves by Shuster because she pretty much refuses to say anything critical of Sotomayer. Both Tancredo and Molinari, however, strike at one of the most vulnerable spots in their opposition, the Senate Democrats' unconscionable (and arguably racist: they couldn't abide nomination by a Republican of this distinguished Latino) treament of Miguel Estrada, Pres. George W. Bush's nominee for a position on the D.C. Court of Appeals.
See Tancredo go at it with Shuster here.
