On Mediaite’s front page right now:

Will The Right Make This Obama’s “Wise Latina” Moment?

One line of the President’s [during a recent interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper] stood out as possible fodder for criticism in much the same way Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s “wise Latina” comment became a conservative talking point.

(Not so much, in my interpretation. But Mediaite tosses out, for your consideration, this “possible fodder.”)

Also on Mediaite’s front page right now:
