The appointment of Sonia Sotomayor as the country’s first hispanic woman to the Supreme Court makes for a great story. Even if one has concerns about her judicial record, it makes all of us as Americans feel good that an individual can reach such a position on the basis of her being a minority the most qualified candidate for the job.
But as more information is revealed about Justice Sotomayor, the nation’s admiration has turned to pity. As we have recently learned, her condition is such that she is not even able to dress herself.
This problem was discovered when she arrived in Washington, D.C. wearing a pair of fuzzy duck slippers and a bathrobe over her old flannel pajamas.
President Obama realized that it would be up to the White House to choose Ms. Sotomayor’s wardrobe for her acceptance ceremony. Obama wasted no time appointing a new fashion czar to handle this task. In the picture above, you can see how pleased the President is with the outcome.
This was not the first time the Obama adminstration has had to deal with an embarrassing trait in one of their appointees. Unfortunately, the other cases were not resolved as well as this one with Ms. Sotomayor. The most notable involved Van Jones, Obama’s former “green jobs” czar.
Jones recently resigned following an uproar among conservatives for his communist ideology. Many believe he stepped down because his views had been made public. But this is not the case. Despite the outcry, Jones could have stayed on in his role since he and Obama share the same ideological views.
The problem was not his communist views, it was Jones’ severe flatulence. The rank odors that were regularly expelled from his bowels made it impossible for anyone to work with him. But this presented another problem. Here was the green jobs czar pumping as much methane into the air as a few dozen heads of cattle. If news of this would have leaked, Obama and Jones would have looked like hypocrites. So the President asked Jones to resign. In order to not hurt his feelings by blaming his gas emissions, he used the complaints about Jones’ communist views as an excuse.
