Shut up, Liddy. Just . . . shut up!
This may come as a shock to some of you, but G. Gordon Liddy is, in fact, an asshat. Today's asshaberdashery: declaring that Obama's pick for the new Supreme Court justice, Sonia Sotomayor, is unfit for the court because she might be menstruating during judicial conferences, which would make her decisions suspect.

I only wish I were kidding.

Well, golly gee whillakers, Mr. Liddy! I never thought about it like that before, but now that you mention it, I guess we womenfolk ought to just let you menfolk make all the decisions for us, since you're obviously all so sane and reasonable.

Unsurprisingly, Jezebel is not impressed. I, personally, would like to hear what Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsberg have to say.

My sister went to George Washington University in downtown DC. The university owns the Howard Johnson across the street from the Watergate, which they made into a dorm (the Hall on Virginia Avene, HoVA). Aapparently, the way some universities will have a special international living or honors dorm where there's some kind of program the people who live there do, HoVA has a Watergate residential study program. My sister lived there her freshman year, which also happened to be either the year that dorm opened or the first year of the Watergate program, so they had all kinds of people involved in the Watergate shenanigans come to the dorm to talk with the Watergate kids.

One weekend I went to visit her and there was this huge, creepy guy who reminded me a bit of Jesse Ventura hanging around the building all the time. He only ever talked to this passel of kids who followed him around, and he would just glare at anyone else who tried to talk to him. When I asked if she know what was going on with that guy, yep, it was G. Gordon Liddy. Who had come to visit the Watergate program and was apparently kind of butthurt that no one outside of the building recognized him on sight or really cared that he was there.
