Bush 41: Lay off Sotomayor

I'll bet Rush goes after him next:

"And she was called by somebody a racist once. That's not right. I mean that's not fair. It doesn't help the process. You're out there name-calling."

The former president is calling for a fair hearing for Sotomayor. It's commendable that, out of all the negative attention Republicans have been giving her, a former leader can say kind words about her and lead by example. But, who will follow? That remains to be seen.
