Democrats drop Alito witness (Pajamahadeen mentioned)

A freelance writer who compared the Holocaust to eating meat in a 2003 column was pulled yesterday from Senate Democrats' list of witnesses.... The move came just a day after Stephen R. Dujack was announced as a witness and hours after Senate Republicans and conservative bloggers attacked his credibility for writing that the way people treat animals was akin to Nazis' treatment of Jews. .... "If this is the type of witness they plan to have at this hearing, it shows there's an utter dearth of serious objections to Judge Alito's record." .... She said in addition to removing Mr. Dujack, Democrats were adding two new witnesses: Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Florida Democrat, and Theodore M. Shaw, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc.

Who are the "conservative bloggers" responsible for outing this creep? Any Freepers involved?

Also note that it mentions two new witnesses - "Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Florida Democrat, and Theodore M. Shaw, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc." Is anyone researching these people?

Wished they could have waited until it was too late for the Progs to drop this bozoid - would have made for an interesting bit of theatre.

Typical that the Progs either didn't know or didn't care what this mental giant said.

I wish he hadn't been outted. It would have been more useful to have him bleating about Alito, and then throw his bizarre ideas at him.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a big mouth, I know that much. Kinda scary-looking, too.

Debbie the Dope from Florida is something to behold when she's on CSPIN doing her stand up comedy act. Baghdad Bob could take lessons from Debbie.

"Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a big mouth, I know that much.

She was the Bush team's secret weapon during the Florida recount. Every time she went on TV and ranted people desperately wanted things to get wrapped up asap.

I clicked to the page you gave. One of the links there says it leads to "Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Drugs". Is this a photo perhaps? I don't wanna know. I didn't click further.

No, it's "issues.org". Don't know it's age.
Scroll down, most are "no stance on record", but there are some such as "The Iraq war diverted our efforts in fighting terrorism".

Leahy IMHO is even worse than Schumer and will employ every dirty trick his perverted mind can invent.

Who are the "conservative bloggers" responsible for outing this creep?

Mainly Powerline, but there were others. The story was already dead by the time Drudge put the news on his website. Senator Cornyn led most of the interference on Capitol Hill, according to some press reports.

Interesting theater doesn't necessarily make for good politics. I'd rather scare the loony left off from raising the CAP issue altogether than risk a confrontation that might not go as expected. But I understand where you're coming from.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is a big mouth, I know that much. Kinda scary-looking, too.

But is she THIS scary:

I heard Limbuagh mention it, on Friday I think. It was hysterical.

Of interest to some:

Bio

Recently, pharmacists with personal objections to birth control have imposed their beliefs on customers by refusing to fill perfectly legal birth control prescriptions and, in some cases, also refusing to return the prescription slip to the customers. In the House of Representatives, Reps. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Christopher Shays (R-CT), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and Joseph Crowley (D-NY) have introduced the Access to Legal Pharmaceuticals Act, which would guarantee pharmacies fill all legal prescriptions. The bill has been introduced in the Senate by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ).
Thwarting the United States constitution?

(Theodore M. Shaw)...an affirmative action activist; likes liberal judges; sharp and smart, totally a liberal/socialist.

Gosh maybe it would have been better to wait until AFTER they testify to out them as freaky-deeky mouth-foaming extremists? This way the dems have saved a lot of face by pulling him off the witness list after getting notice that the jig was up.
