Cry me a river
Via Balloon Juice, Mark Halperin's "witty" comment on potential Supreme Court Justice nominees in an Obama Presidency:
White Men Need Not Apply
As the commenters say better than I could:
beltane: I have long despaired over the stunning lack of white men in positions of power. Out of nine Supreme Court justices, for example, only seven are white men. Alas and alack.
Ricky Bobby: Amazing to see this latent underlying racism start to bubble to the surface just after the first minority POTUS is elected. I am shocked I tell you, SHOCKED!
Hunter Gathers: I don’t know about the rest of you, but as as a member of the oppressed white male majority, I will pitch a fit if Obama doesn’t choose David Duke. Or the ghost of Lee Atwater.
