‘What I meant to say is that Sotomayor’ll shoot Scalia up in a drive-by.’

By GottaLaff

Yesterday I posted about a lovely Young Rushpublic named Jason Mattera. He made a pathetic attempt at humor ("If Sotomayer [sic] gained life experience from The Ghetto, does that mean she'd have a tendency to shank Scalia?"), but being the upstanding, moral up-and-comer that he is, he saw the error of his ways and made a correction:

Mattera responded to “the silly outrage from liberals” today in a message to Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey:

Okay, guys. Sorry. I got it all wrong: Sotomayor will not “shank” Scalia on the bench. What I meant to say is that she’ll shoot him up in a drive-by. Watch out, brother Antonin!

Second salvo launched! Your turn, Sonia.

Mattera, who grew up in Brooklyn, claimed that his posting was part of a joking “inner-city rivalry” with the Bronx-born Sotomayor.

There now. Much better. Isn't he a laugh riot? Isn't he just so street? Are we slapping our knees and guffawing yet?

Now imagine if a Democrat had said something like that during any of the Bush nominees' confirmation hearings.

Hey, yo, Mattera, you're killin' us with your drive-by humor. In fact, it's deadly.
