White House: Sotomayor says she chose word poorly - Yahoo! News

White House: Sotomayor says she chose word poorly - Yahoo! News: "In a bit damage control, the White House on Friday said Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor acknowledges she chose her words poorly by saying in 2001 that a female Hispanic judge would often reach a 'better' conclusion than a white male judge. 'I think if she had the speech to do all over again, I think she'd change that word,' presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters."
