1. I like the "not fair" part

Priscilla Owen, an unqualified right wing extremist vs. Sonia Sotomayor, an extremely qualified centrist.

Yet the dwindling (but vocal) forces of the radical right will continue to portray Owen as deserving of
being forced down the throat of the country, whereas Sotomayor will be villified as a socialist libbrul,
and for no other reason than that she is being appointed by a Democratic president.

But as subtlety is not part and parcel of Republican propaganda these days, I'd just toss the "not fair"
part back in their faces for now. The rest will just fly over their heads anyway.
