Whining

A response to a Washington Examiner columnist on supporters of Sonia Sotomayor:

Gregory Kane castigates what he terms the whining Left's complaints about Sen. Tom Coburn's use of Desi Arnaz's catch phrase "you have some 'splaining to do" in an exchange with then Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor over the Second Amendment. On the basis of an indeterminate number of phone calls received while he appeared on a Baltimore college radio station, Kane wildly extrapolates that left wingers en masse are apoplectic over Coburn's dated allusion. This is nonsense. A few phone calls cannot logically be said to represent the mindset of an entire group. It would seem that Kane has "some 'splaining to do."
