"RNC chair Michael Steele, guest-hosting on Bill Bennett’s radio show early this morning, repeatedly distanced himself from Republicans and conservatives who have been harshly attacking Sonia Sotomayor, saying the assault risked damaging the party.

Steele also appeared to suggest that such attacks were a non-starter because the liberal media, and MSNBC in particular, would use them to damage the GOP.

In what seemed like an effort to distance the party from claims that Sotomayor is “racist” and an “Affirmative Action” pick, Steele repeatedly said that Republicans should be hailing the historic nature of Obama’s pick.

“I’m excited that a Hispanic woman is in this position,” Steele said. He added that instead of “slammin’ and rammin’” on Sotomayor, Republicans should “acknowledge” the “historic aspect” of the pick and make a “cogent, articulate argument” against her for purely substantive reasons."

Yeah, like she views law through her len of a race and a sex and has a poor temperament and isn't all that bright and her decisions haven't been all that wonderful.

Republicans should “acknowledge” the “historic aspect” of the pick and make a “cogent, articulate argument” against her for purely substantive reasons."Um, they have. Repeatedly.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele, guest-hosting Bill Bennett's "Morning in America" radio show, said Friday that critics should not be "slamming and ramming" Judge Sotomayor, but need to make a "cogent, articulate argument" against her on substantive grounds.



"We don't need to play this the way the Democrats have played it in the past," he said.



You forgot to quote the best line, grasshopper.
