WASHINGTON The White House says Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor acknowledges she made a poor word choice in a 2001 speech in which she said that a Latina judge would often reach a better conclusion than a white male judge who hasn't lived the same life.
That's according to presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs. He says he has not talked directly to Sotomayor about it but has spoken to people who have.

Wonder how many times they had to water board her before she admitted she was wrong and agreed to say she had chosen her words badly. ;~)
So, what word should she have used? Macaca?
Well, that settles it then if Gibbs says so. Republicans can all resume the pillow-biting position again.
US electorate: We chose our president poorly.
Which word? Perhaps she didn't mean white "male", she meant white "bigot".
Obama didn’t even consider a man of any color.
No, she chose them with careful consideration because they honestly represent her views.
“The right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” - Second Amendment. Obviously the Founders considered this to be very important. It is after all the Second Amendment, right after the First.
Every dictatorship in history has prohibited its citizens from having their own guns. Our Founders chose their words very carefully, to protect us from tyrants such as King George III. And they were prescient about Obama and the Socialist Party here in the United States in 2009.
This is really lame. It would be as if Don Imus' housekeeper came out to apologize for Don's use of "nappy hos" a couple of years ago. It means nothing coming from the designated apologist, it must come directly from the offending party to have any meaning at all.
She is an idiot, that is a resume enhancer. She’ll be confirmed. Relax, she replaces a liberal so it’s still 5 to 4. If Kennedy still reads the Constitution.

Oh, well, so much for Tuck Chodd's ridiculous and amateurish "Well, teh Shite House, they think they've got this sewn up, they're ready to pivot." comment early this morning. FU and your cheesy Trekkie beard, Chodd.
she regrets not using the word “caucasian” instead of “white male”.
And, she discriminated against those firefighters in the Northeast.
No White Male appointee would survive a disclosure like that!
If this was a White Male Bush appointee the media and the whole Democrat Party would be going ape!
Did she make a poor choice when she continued her membership with La Raza after becoming a Federal Judge?
I SEE YOUR TRUE COLORS SHINING THROUGH.......PLEASE ASK MS. SANTAMAYORRRRRRRRR ARE YOU AN AMERICAN OR A LATINA FIRST?
DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF PUERTA RICAN OR AMERICAN.....TO WHICH FLAG DO YOU SHOW YOUR LOYALTY? WOULD YOU DEFEND THAT OF A WHITE PERSON OR A PERSON OF COLOR OR DOES IT MATTER?
HM,MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
wHAT EXACTLY DID YOU MEAN BY YOUR WHITE MAN COMMENT?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM TAKE YOUR TIME MS. SOTOMAYORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
NO, she chose her words intentionally. Republicans shouldn’t play Obama’s game. They should call a spade and spade and demand the same of Obama. Obama wins only when the opposition drops the ball.
