Here's Steele on Bill Bennett's radio show, striving to connect Supreme Court nominations with Miss USA judge Perez Hilton (who would probably be very surprised to hear himself described as empathetic):

What was so outstanding about Miss California, let's do a little parallel... This is what an empathetic judge looks like," Steele said of celeb-blogger Perez Hilton. "The empathetic judge in this case, the judge of the beauty pageant, asked this woman a question and instead of taking her answer at face value, he was empathetic to a particular community and he thought her answer should be favorably disposed towards that particular community... This is the slippery slope this nation is putting itself on and I'm telling you folks to stop it. Don't go there." 

With an opposition like this, Obama's court battle may turn out to be far smoother than anyone expects.
