GOP strategists fear the tone of rhetoric on the Sotomayor attacks.

Keep it up, there's nothing like insulting the fastest growing electorate. A few reasonable Republicans, especially Cornyn, are seeking distance from the rhetorical flourishes of Rush, Newt, Pat Buchanan, Wendy Long, G. Gordon Liddy, and Tom Tancredo, but Cornyn isn't the loudest voice even if all signs point to slander as a poor policy direction, as the LAT points out. I won't touch Michael Steele's "slamming and ramming" Sotomayor with the transparent sexual connotations.

My time is divided between a longer post on our Belize trip and a couple of other tasks, so this is a short one without much elaboration.
