CONFIRMATION HEARING SHOCK! SOTOMAYOR REPORTEDLY IS THE REAL MOTHER OF MICHAEL JACKSON'S YOUNGEST CHILD, BLANKET!

Not really. There won't be any surprises during the anticlimactic, preordained confirmation hearings of Sotomayor.

According to a CNN opinion poll, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's popularity has plummeted alongside Obama's numbers.

Forty-seven percent of respondents to the poll say they would like to see the U.S. Senate vote to confirm versus forty-percent who say they would not, with the remaining thirteen percent who apparently would rather see her forced to run in the streets of Pamplona. And she polls much more poorly among firefighters.

Not that it matters. As long as this "wise Latina woman" privately tows the pro-infanticide democrat line, she is a slam dunk.

Still, one can hope the Obamatrain gets derailed somewhere along the line, can't one?
