Remember when you were in school, I was in school, and our assignment in September was to write an essay,

what you did on your summer vacation. Every none that I had in

eight years at St. Bridget School, I had to write what I did on my summer vacation. And usually the

theme of my essay was I stayed out of jail. Okay?

You know, it was a street life back then.

Anyway, I had an interesting summer night last night that I want to tell you about,

and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. There is a theme to this, so stay with me.

So I go to Yankee Stadium, Subway Series, big deal in New York,

50,000 fans, Mets Yankees. And I'm up in a suite because at this point in my career, I can't sit

amongst 50,000 people because one of them may not like me, but I have to say,

in New York, whether I go to Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, City Field, 99% of people

are very nice. I pose for pictures, if they want me to, whatever. And that was the case yesterday.

But I go up into the suite to watch the game, and who is one of my sweet mates? Ready? Oh,

you're going to love this. Ready? Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Okay, big Yankee fan, born in the Bronx,

1954, she's 68 years old, an amazing story of success in America.

So she is there, and one of my urchins is a political science major and he held his own with

Justice Sotomayor in a very nice discussion.

I kind of, you know, look, Sonia Sotomayor and Bill O'Reilly don't see eye to eye on anything.

I think that's pretty clear.

But it was respectful.

It was respectful.

Now, the woman I told her, I said, you know, maybe someday I'm going to write about your story.
