Miller dubs Sotomayor "Roseanne Barrio"

I have to assume you're speaking purely on relative terms, and even by Miller standards, it's only cute by its word-play.

Rosanne, throughout her career, depicted herself as your average lower-middle-income housewife. Sotomayor, receiving a law degree and working her way up to becoming a SCOTUS nominee, could hardly be considered anything near middle-class nor hardly average. The difference between Rosannes character and Sotomayor couldn't be more different. At least in the early stages of the implosion of his career, Miller juxtaposed contemporary and classical figures to semi-humorous effect due to their similarities. But now it appears he has tapped the humor well nearly dry, resorting to mere puns bereft of any deeper meaning. While that's a fun activity for creatively-challenged people such as myself, I expect more from someone who calls himself a professional comedian or humorist.

Unless, of course, Millers underlying racism relegates anyone of Puerto Rican heritage by default to "lower class", in which case I'm sure he and those who share his bias are laughing heartily inside at the thought of a supreme court justice with a cigarette hanging from her mouth wearing - instead of a robe - a housecoat and fuzzy slippers while hanging out laundry on a clothesline behind the projects.

Don't you know - EVERYONE has a radio show these days.
