SAT Prep: Thurgood Marshall is to Clarence Thomas as Hillary Clinton is to ____________

ADDED ON EDIT: In case the point is missed, because I don't want to be unclear about anything potentially inflamatory. The point is not to equate Clinton and Marshall, but to equate how Thomas and Palin were selected. Bush the First figured if he replaced Marshall with a man of similar color that would make people happy. But it was rancid tokenism that offended all black people... an anti-black black man of no substance thrown up as a supposed substitute for a black hero of real gravity. It's a case of seeing things only in terms of color, not ideology or character.

Palin was picked to try to pick off some Hillary fans, but she is an anti-woman incompetent chosen merely for her reproductive organs. It should piss off all women just as Thomas pissed off people of color.

Seriously, he'd have done better to heed your advice and pick Tom Ridge.

11. See, your mistake is going for competence

It's like being in an office where, invariably, some complete jackass gets promoted to management while competent, hardworking folks are left scratching their heads.

He's not even in the same league as Marshall, but at least he meets the minimum requirements for the job.
