Figleaf's Real Adult Sex

Matthew Yglesias says

Looking over this table, I can certainly see why Sonia Sotomayor might remind you of someone nominated for the Supreme Court by George W. Bush:

	Sonia Sotomayor	Samuel Alito	Harriet Meiers
College	Princeton	Princeton	Southern Methodist
Law School	Yale	Yale	Southern Methodist
Previous Job	Second Circuit	Third Circuit	White House Councel

And then there’s Ramesh Ponnuru who dubs her Obama’s Miers. Because, I guess, the qualifications Sotomayor holds only count as qualifications if you’re a white dude.

He said it here.

But… But… Bush hugged Meiers and Obama hugged Sotomayor, so they must be the same!

(p.s. Obama hugged Bush. Obama hugged Denzel Washington. Obama hugged soldiers. Obama hugged my former mayor, Norm Rice. Someone else who doesn’t like Obama says Obama hugged Ted Kennedy. Obama hugged Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak. Obama hugged a supporter. Obama hugged other Obamas. Obama hugged Queen Elizabeth and Oprah... oh wait, wrong Obama but same principle. Actually the other Obama did hug Oprah. In fact, for cryin’ out loud, Obama hugged Ben Affleck! So they’re all like Harriet Meiers too.)
