Sonofagun. Turley's remarks are now r/w talking points.

RE: Sotomayor, and her 'lack of intellect'. Also Jeffrey Rosen's piece in TNR. :argh:

Just great. Curt Levey, Committee for Justice.

1. I thought it was a RW talking point before he said it...

if not, then it's sure not surprising they'd snap that up.

2. Turley and Rosen were specifically cited. So I guess, mission

accomplished for Turley. He's getting the recognition he so craves. :eyes:

[frazzled]

3. That would make it 2 out of 3 in the Turley feeds Republicans category

(1) His argument for the "necessity" of the Clinton impeachment

(2) His "lack of intellect" argument re: Sotomayor

I'm not even sure his 3rd point--deport the untriable detainees to Afghanistan and Iraq--is not another Republican boon (to the NIMBY crowd opposing closing Gitmo). He is no friend of progressives. Sorry.

4. you missed the worse offense

calling Justice Thurgood Marshall an intellectual lightweight (read: dumb).

[tridim]

5. It's troubling that KO hasn't figured this out yet. nt

6. Did you see Turley last night? He certainly toned down his

criticism, or couched it in wussy words for the evening audience.

Yes, I wish KO would find a better lawyer who's not so convincingly biased.

8. This reminds me of when KO gave Dana Milbank the heave-ho.

Got too big for his britches. I can't remember the details, can anyone else?

[babylonsister]

9. Per this, Milbank switched stations,

alleviating the need for KO to can his ass. It had to do with a partial quote Milbank was dishonest about...

7. At Least He's Not A Dem Senator

Today on David Sirota radio show, they played a clip of Mark Udall saying he's not sure how he'll vote. In a state full of Hispanics who helped put both Obama and Udall in office last year, I think he will vote for her, but this sound bite will be used against on right-wingy radio over and over.
