If you are so"wise," Sonia Sotomayor, then why is your ankle broken? Huh, racist activist Latina judge from the block? Because she tripped at the airport. But she's ok!

Obama's first Supreme Court nominee tripped at LaGuardia, where she was boarding a plane to DC to meet with Senators. She made it all the way to the Old Executive Office Building in Washington before deciding she should maybe get that ankle looked at.

X-rays revealed a small fracture, and she was released after less than two hours. Now she is on crutches, so she will probably say that crippled Latinas are way wiser than dumb white men, any day now.
