White House Micromanages Supreme Court Nominee

  •  October 21, 2009

Interesting story out of New Haven, CT. regarding newly minted Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

NEW HAVEN — Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Saturday her grueling nomination process was a tightly-scripted event, right down to the dress picked out for her.

Is that sexist? Does the White House pick out outfits for the men being confirmed to appointed offices?

Sotomayor even explained that she’d gone shopping for clothes to wear to her acceptance ceremony, but government officials instead told her to bring five suits, one of which they would recommend for her to wear,

Remember the brouhaha over Sarah Palin’s wardrobe? Al Gore’s “Alpha Male” flannel shirts? Dressing for success is a part of modern electioneering, but Supreme Court nominees??? How image conscious is the White House to need to micromanage the wardrobe of a person whose working garb will consist primarily of a black robe?

People who listened to her speech said she revealed many details of the nomination process to the nation’s highest court

Which the country, I’m sure, would be fascinated to hear! But,

… “She requested that no members of the media attend the conversation”

Pity.

    Interesting story! thanks

    Dino is factually challenged (read: wrong) yet again. The Bush twins were “picked on” by the MSM. A lot. Perhaps you were in a drug induced coma at the time? Or maybe it’s just the anal/cranial inversion you suffer from?

    Don’t you ever get tired of being wrong, Dino?

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Dino: Is English not your first language? I said the story was “interesting” and from that, you get “outrage”?
    What is truly pathetic here is your ability to comprehend what you read, Din.
    Work on it.

    They pick out the clothes for every SC nomination? Odd. Someone making the highest legal decisions in the land, man or woman, RorD, cannot pick out their own clothes?

    That just seems so very odd to me.

    tightly orchestrated with a script that contained acceptable questions and answers.

    Remember Al Frankin’s question about her favorite episode of Perry Mason? Without a moment to remember back so many years or even ponder the question, she starts to answer Franken before he even finishes the question. Clearly rehearsed.

    That’s why it would have been interesting for the rest of the country to hear about the “many details of the nomination process”.

    Note to the Portland Twit: Sorry! Still not outraged!

    For the Dems/Libs its all about appearance because the substance would be intolerable. No mattter how you dress/cover things up – a turd by any other name would still stink.

  • jimmypop

    who bought the clothing and was it reported as income?

    the same questions asked of Sarah should be asked of this racist…..er, judge.

  • Ken

    Yawn. I think you care too much about her wardrobe. Careful or you’ll start making DINO look straight by comparison.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    And your evidence for this is… where?

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    From that conservative bastion, the Associatied Press:

    Underage drinking, disregarding “strong suggestions” from the U.S. Embassy, regular appearances in Vogue fashion spreads — the Bush twins made more than their fair share of national headlines during their eight years in the White

    “The headline should be, WHITE HOUSE PLAYS PIMP TO SOTO-MY-WHORE”

    LOL!!!!!!!! I spewed my coffee right there. She looks like Hugo Chavez in Drag.

  • sayanything-14858

    well, good luck to all the nominee..

  • sayanything-106

    You’re a fucken idiot and should STFU and be nuked from this site you disgusting sock puppet.

  • Mongol

    Justice Puppet?

  • sayanything-13784

    Couldn’t you just throw a tarp over her?

  • sayanything-106

    Proof I am come to the conclusion that DINO is a waste of cells and skin. Complete and utter moron.

  • sayanything-3960

    This is done for every SC nomination. Dino is right on this one.

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Tell you what, Dino, since you’re not too swift on picking up on the subtlety of anything more complex than “See Spot run”, I’ll try to use one of two clues in the future to let you know when I’m “outraged”:

    A) I’ll say: “I’m outraged” or
    B) I’ll use the word “outrageous” to describe something.

    In the meantime, try not to get your lacy pink panties in a bunch, ‘kay, Dino?

  • HG

    dino is a admitted perv. “Whores” and “bitches” are female and male in his culture.

  • sayanything-8606

    Well said.

  • sayanything-279

    They picked out her clothes? I thought she was smarter than a white man.

  • sayanything-8606

    And that disgusting excuse for a dress is what they came up with?

  • robert108

    Style over substance; typical for this administration, and for lefties in general.

  • sayanything-1557

    Hey, maybe Obama’s girls didn’t return some library books on time. That should get the cons blogs barking.

    Actually DINO, unlike you libs we conservatives leave politicians children alone.

  • Mark

    Classy!

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    You want to talk about a “pathetic post”, Dinotwit? How about that whiny piece of drivel where you complain about getting error message from Disqus?

    At least this one is interesting to someone besides the author!

  • http://stopthepresses2.blogspot.com/ stopthepresses

    The headline should be, WHITE HOUSE PLAYS PIMP TO SOTO-MY-WHORE

  • http://proof-proofpositive.blogspot.com/ proof_positive

    Dino is right on this one.

    About Rahm’s dirty feet or the library books?

  • sayanything-1557

    Nobody picked on the bush whores

    Classy as always DINO. Did your side pick on Palin’s chilren? I rest my case.

  • sayanything-4416

    Hey, maybe Obama’s girls didn’t return some library books on time. That should get the cons blogs barking.

    If only you had a Paula Jones or a Vince Foster!

  • sayanything-2361

    Crap dude. No one called Sotomayer a whore. Chill out and go away.

  • sayanything-277

    I think it was much more than her dress that was micromanaged. I believe that her entire vetting by the senate committee was tightly orchestrated with a script that contained acceptable questions and answers.

  • sayanything-5568

    I believe that they micro-managed her to the point where she could answer the questions before they were asked…Al Franken’s question about the Perry Mason case…..

  • sayanything-4253

    Dino. I can’t believe you just called Sotomayor a whore!

  • sayanything-4416

    Nobody picked on the bush whores.

  • sayanything-7743

    Wasn’t it a group of leftards who kept whining about Sarah Palin’s cloth last year? It seemed to be a major issue then.

  • sayanything-4416

    Is it me or does the quality of the “daily outrage” you people trot out keep dropping?

    What’s next, Rahm Emmanuel didn’t wipe his feet before entering the Oval Office? The First Lady didn’t pick up after the dog in the Rose Garden?

    Pathetic post. Truly pathetic.
