Buchanan Says Sotomayor Is An 'Affirmative Action' Nominee Because No White Men Were Finalists.

Pat Buchanan thinks that the fact that the final four candidates for the Supreme Court were all women is proof of "affirmative action". I wonder if he's ever made this argument in the past when the final four candidates were all white males? Or did he just accept that as the natural order of things?

After all, this is not the first time that Pat has complained about "reverse discrimination against white folks." Here, he is merely narrowing this argument and relating it only to white males.

Lawrence O’Donnell slips the knife in at the end of the segment, “It’s like watching a dead fish flop around on the deck. You’re dead on this one, Pat. It’s all over.”
