There's not yet an official nominee to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens but the Obama White House's rapid-response machine is already working overtime to squelch speculation over the politics of the nominations process. Last week, it took just a few hours for the administration's communications team to tamp down a rumor that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was on the short list of prospective nominees. (See our coverage of the Hillary rumor, and other names floated at the margins of the nomination debate here.) And yesterday, the administration blasted CBS News for a blog post on its Web site claiming that one of the people who is reportedly on that list U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan is a lesbian, eventually getting the news organization to retract the claim and take down the post.

We must stop him now.
Suffice it to say, the entire administration is more than likely bass akwards and twinky, ya know?
How about an evangelical Christian. We don’t have any Protestants on the Court!!! This is madness. We are 52% of the population!!!
Time to give Drudge a heads up about this one. This brazen White House act will only add more fuel to the fire.
cBS is for sure state run media now.
I heard that U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan is a lesbian?
Has anybody else heard that?
No, but I heard she is a homosexual
can’t call mooslem terrorists islamists or islamofacists...can’t point out an obama nominee is gay....
yet it’s open season on people like you and I- hardworking, taxpaying Americans who dissent against the facist regime in Washington...also commonly referred to as teabaggers by the neo-commies on the left...
Once upon a time, there was a magic bullet....and the guy who came up with the idea is still a Senator....The moral of the story is that there is a tooth fairy.
CBS useually clears all of its material with Obama in advance. This one must have slipped through.
No, but if you can see you can tell. Just look at it.
Bush couldn’t get CBS to suppress the TANG story.
Guv’ment sez: All your base are belong to us!
Let her husband refute it.
I heard that the identity of her lesbian partner is well known around Harvard.
The State Controlled Media. Funny CBS hadn’t first asked permission!
This is like something out of the TV series “Jericho”. The government directly controls the news. It is scary... This is not the America I grew up in. Or maybe it was, and I am just now discovering what a free press is.
“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposedif all records told the same talethen the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’”
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 3
Are they trying to hush up the sexuality of their nominee because they're gearing up to fight the various state Defense of Marriage acts and need a ringer on the bench?
"We didn't know she was gay when we nominated her. But now that she's on the bench..."
