You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggonit people like you.

As a member of what was generation X, and as a longtime fan of Saturday Night life.  I remember, especially in the 90's,  the good casts of Saturday Night Live, and even though Al Franken had been around for quite a while in the halls of SNL, some of his characters really took of in the late 80's early to mid 90's including Stuart Smalley,   I still to this day remember Michael Jordan sitting in a sweater like Stewarts saying, "you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggonit people like you."  Now Al Franken is a senator and while I applaud the people of Minnesota on their choice, and think he will do a great job, I just couldn't help myself when I heard him read off the outcome of Sotomyors confirmation hearing.  She was confirmed, another thing that I think is great and a wonderful step into a bit more diversity on the highest court in the land, still as Franken read the votes when he finished I just really wanted him to say, "bla bla bla on a vote of bla bla bla you are confirmed as a member of the supreme court, you know what this means of course Miz Sotomyor, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggonit enough people like you."
