EXACTLY HOW STUPID IS THIS COUNTRY?

If liking to play women's softball was a sign that Elena Kagan was an ex-Nazi (like say; the Pope), or a pedophile (like say; the Pope), then this would definitely warrant this amount of discussion on the cable news circuit.  However whether or not she may or may not be a lesbian is completely irrelevant to being a Supreme Court nominee. Why waste our collective time with this?  Isn't the country teetering on the edge of financial ruin? Isn't there a massive oil well spilling into the ocean? -Or thousands of more pressing issues that qualify as 'news'? DISTRACT-DISTRACT- DISTRACT!!!
