Senator imitates Ricky Ricardo in front of Sotomayor.

"You have lots of 'splaining to do" - Senator Tom Corburn (R-Oklahoma).

To the woman who is almost certain to become the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. Well done Senator...

"Sen. Tom Coburn evoked a 1950s TV show Wednesday in a quip responding to Sonia Sotomayor's scenario about what he might do if she - hypothetically, of course - attacked him.

"You'll have a lot of 'splainin' to do," Coburn said, to laughter from the crowd and Sotomayor. What he said - and how he said it - was a riff on a Hispanic television character, Ricky Ricardo, whose accent is now widely considered a broad parody."
