I don't read Kos, but good for the second half. This is a non-partisan phenomenon, btw. The fringes (not you, fringey, baby) on both sides regularly make racist comments about nominees. From Bill Lann Lee, to Clarence Thomas, Scalia, Ginsberg -- it's all too common.
I'm Not Italian (NTTAWWT), but it seems like any successful Italian American lawyer/politician/businessperson gets tagged with the Mafia label. WTF? I'm beginning to think that Melfi's ex-husband had a point.
