Greetings Mouthketeers:

I’m sure you’ve heard and/or seen some of the coverage on the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Judge Sonia Sotomayor?  It just kills me that the news over the division between the Democrats and Republicans, and how each party grills the Judge, continue to overshadow the actual hearings to determine whether or not this woman should be voted as the next Supreme Court Justice.

This rant is not about whether the Judge is qualified; rather, this rant brings forth the reason why the political system—as seen through the eyes of the media—must stop once and for all.

Why?

We are about to elect a person who will have important power, and perhaps Judge Sotomayor is the right person for the job; however, will the politicians and the media stop this crap already and ask the necessary questions to see if she’s kewl enuf for the job rather than speak in a code and beat around the bush?

Bush?  Familiar.  Hmmmm. 

Let’s quickly change course here. 

Why on Earth is Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin known as the poster boy and grrrrl of the Republican Party?  I voted for Regan once and Bush Senior once; however, I proudly voted for Obama.  I would neeeeeveeeer vote for Limbaugh or Palin, the two Bobbsey babes.  I vote for whom I feel will do the right job at the right time.  You got that right!

The media is stirring up such agita over Pal-Li, who—in case you didn’t know—aren’t doing diddley squat in the political arena except listen to themselves speak and talk about how they’re fighting against the liberal media.  Boring, boring.  Yawn, yawn.  I hear a new AM station with Palin as host coming on!

Let’s change course again. 

We will only be a better country when we toss the media ‘tude aside and simply vote for people on what they stand for and not which side of the aisle they sit on.  I don’t want to pussyfoot around the subject of politics any longer, do you?  If I wanna ask the Judge her views on abortion, I want to ask the question in plain English.  Will I ask the question in French if I’m a Democrat and ask the question in German if I’m Republican?  It’s all Greek to me. 

If Obama continues to do a so-much-better job than his predecessor (Am I having a senior moment?  I can’t remember who was the president before Obama??), and does a great job after his first term, I’ll vote for Obama again.  However, if he starts to believe his own publicity, I’ll vote for someone else and it might not be Hillary Clinton, if you get my drift.

Media, shaddup already and get back to what you really do best—and that is to keep beating a story such as the death of Michael Jackson—to an even deeper death than it already is.

Wasn’t Al Franken a funny comedian?

Peace.
