following their noes

less than 24 hours after it was first reported that u.s. supreme court associate justice david souter will be retiring at the end of the the current court's term, politicos in the republican party have zeroed in on three possible obama nominees and sharpened up their noes.

in fact, many in the party of no are already saying that this – their opposition to whomever obama picks – will finally be the thing that really unites the party.

and there are plenty of white men grumbling that they're probably already out of the running.
