I went out for chinese food with Lindsey!

My Senator.
You knew the dems were not going to ask any challenging questions but you’d think they would at least go through the motions.

Comparing the discourse of the enlightened men of America's founding generations to the foolishness of the elected representatives who posture and pose before TV cameras today reveals a great chasm between the intellectual abilitiy, as well as the devotion to liberty, of the two groups.!

What midgets these men appear to be!

[nmh]

They are proud of their ignorance!

They KNOW they can do whatever they want since they have the majority and they are rubbing in our faces.

[La Lydia]

Right. Let’s reduce the significance of the Senate’s Constitutional responsibility to confirm Supreme Court nominees down to the level of a movie series for adolescent girls. Obviously, that Senator is too dumb to go out of the house on her own, so I want to know who is advising her. I hope someone got that on video so her next opponent can make good use of it.

Doesn’t Twilight involve heterosexual vampires? What would Kagan know about that?

[bgill]

Just wait until congress divides itself into Team Edward and Team Jacob. Next we’ll have vampires making executives decisions - never mind, we already do.

[ladyvet]

This is appalling.

I imagine she was cramming to compensate for not being a wise Latina. Besides, why waste time with fictional blood suckers when your in the midst of the real thing every day.

[b4its2late]

The hearings are a joke.

The Republic is on the line...And they pull a stunt like that? Amazing.

[VeniVidiVici]

Hmmmmm. Boxers or briefs?

[hennie pennie]

You want to know what is even stranger? I was chatting with an out of state friend last night about "WHAT is all this juvenile 'Twilight' obsession?" and she told me that what is most ODD about Kloubasher's public behavior yesterday is that her step sister's body was identified as a drowning victim in Minneapolis.

I was shocked.

What a bizarre way to behave when your own step sister has died!! VERY peculiar.

Any grown man that thinks about this stuff on the job or during spare time should have his man-card revoked. To men, “Twilight” should be nothing more than a means to an end. Something for your daughter. Something for a girlfriend or wife (with definite eyes on the prize for later in the evening).

My daughter’s too young, and my wife couldn’t be less interested ... so I am glad to say I’ve never seen a minute of this nonsense.

If I were running against this Senator, I’d make a campaign commercial with that question in it ... “is this what we sent this guy to Washington for?”

Tattoos may help ID woman pulled from river

Body pulled from Mississippi is Sen. Klobuchar's stepsister

[hennie pennie]

Do you happen to know anything more about the drowning death of Senator Klobuchar’s stepsister?

[TheSarce]

I think the question was specifically engineered to give the media a cute, giggly soundbite they could play in their coverage of Kagan’s testimony at the hearings. That way if anything controversial came up that day, they could just report that in droll narration, but people would hear Kagan herself being kind of hip about a popular culture item. (But also too “serious” to really get into it.)

The exchange makes NO sense whatsoever unless it was to provide something harmless for the media to report. And boy, did they report it! I heard it on every single top- and half-hour newsbreak on the radio that day.

Wonder why this particular Senator was selected to deliver the question? Because it sure didn’t make her look good.
