As you should.....

Think about it. Coffee and peanuts, together. Mainstream?

I don't think so!

Much as I dislike him, I pray that Kennedy will not die on President Bush's watch. I don't wish to see or hear President Bush have to eulogize the b*st*rd.

What makes you think Bush would be invited to?

[saveliberty]

LOL! Why not? Two very diverse kinds of beans.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Not necessarily.

The Keating Five had only a single member who was a Republican, and even that person-Senator McCain-was only peripherally involved in the scandal, and yet the Democrats-and their schills in the mainstream media-managed to tar both sides of Congress as participating in "bipartisan" corruption.

I do hope Hayworth is ultimately exonerated, because he's one of my favorite congressmen.

I'm not really surprised by any of the other names, and am pleased by at least one of them, i.e. Burns.

It's time that the Rep. leadership in the Senate told that senile old goat to retire.

He's almost as embarrassing as Ted Stevens.

How about Wilbur Mills?

Ole Wilbur at least went out with elan chasing Fannie Fox (aka the Argentine Firecracker) onstage at a Boston strip club and into a tidal pool in DC.

Pinhead alert a peanut is a legume. Doh!

Elmer Fudd is more of an expert on Constitutional law

HA!

You are so up on the news!

[Carolinamom]

You're right....Clinton does funerals.

[AnAmericanMother]

Turning a shirt collar!

Do you sides-to-middle your sheets, too?

Scottish by any chance? (I am too - I don't turn collars because my husband has a beard and they don't show anyway. But I do darn and sides-to-middle sheets - at least the good ones.)

[rwa265]

All of them, if they would be honest with themselves.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Not entirely correct.

He had one-Joe Kennedy Jr.-unfortunately, he was KIA during WWII.

[Founding Father]

Gibbons just bitch-slapped the Dims. Helluva thing for a judge to do.

[saveliberty]

LOL! Not really

The poor man's (or practical man's) version of hazlenut coffee, perhaps?

But not with a straight face

[markman46]

was she not called the tidal basin bombshell

[LucyJo]

I just signed in to say that Judge Maryanne Trump Berry not only made a great commendation of Judge Alito, she did it in a way that pointed out the contrast of Judge Alito's character with that of those on the Judicial panel who questioned him in such a hateful way. She did it simply by the depth of admiration for him in her tone while praising the qualities he possesses personally and professionally.

All of these judges are making such moving statements about Judge Alito, and there doesn't seem to be an insincere word among them. Wish the half could be said with that amount of sincerity about the character and qualities of many of our politicians.

I'm looking forward to reading the thread later, to see what y'all had to say about the hearings today. God bless.

Ahh yes, the diversity angle. / slaps forehead /
