Liberals have no sense of humor.

Have you seen the cartoon that has all the hispanics bent out of shape? I think it's hilarious. It bears the caption: "Fiesta time at the confirmation hearing." It shows a couple of elephants (Republican senators) with bats in their hands (in this case, elephants have hands). Hanging from a string is the pinata -- Judge Sotomayor. Obama, wearing a sombrero, says, "Now, who wants to be first?"

Jean Warner, chair of the Oklahoma Women's Coalition, said, "Here's a woman wearing a judge's robes and she's about to get the crap beaten out of her because she has the audacity to think she can sit on the Supreme Court. But most young girls who look at the cartoon don't even understand that. They just see guys with sticks about to hit a woman."

Get a grip, Jean! It's a political cartoon! It has nothing to do with abusing women. If anything, it's a swipe at the Republicans who are expected to ask some hardline questions in the confirmation.

Rossana Rosado, publisher and chief executive officer of El Diario La Prensa said, "On first view, you just see her hanging by a rope and that's a very disturbing image."

Come on Rossana, you're in charge of a Latino publication and you don't recognize a pinata when you see one? What's wrong with this picture?

I highly suspect had the nominee been a conservative woman, and this type cartoon had been published, not a word of complaint would have been heard.
