Whose ever they are, they are all sound and fury, no though, no logic,baseless, and nonsense.
I seem to remember her also mentioning Republicans giving us lousey judges, mentioning them by name and that she expects better from Bush.
Yeah, audio often reads that way. They say that if we read the transcripts of our phone converstaions we'd go insane...:-)
Most of the words are from Brian Baldwin (Ingraham didn't refer to Bush as "Mr. Peepers"), but they definitely reflect the same tone and spirit that Ingraham -- a former law clerk for Clarence Thomas -- displayed Tuesday morning.
It was Ingraham who led the charge nationwide against reflexively reinstalling RINOsaur Arlen Specter as Senate Judiciary Chairman after he spit in Bush's eye regarding the upcoming SCOTUS nominees mere hours after they were both re-elected. Specter offered a half-fast reassurance that he wouldn't be a roadblock, and Frist cleared the way for him to be in charge. Later, when wishy-washy Sandra Day O'Connor (she couldn't dare overturn Roe v. Wade, but had no problem flip-flopping her own majority vote on Bowers vs. Hardwick based on other countries' laws) announced she was retiring, TWO DAYS LATER Specter sat alongside Ted Kennedy (D-Chappaquiddick) on national television and joined him in urinating on the remains of the Robert Bork nomination!
Now, on top of that, President Bush, who campaigned saying he would nominate for SCOTUS jurists in the tradition of Scalia and Thomas, gets all huffy when true believers say forthrightly and truthfully that Alberto Gonzales -- whom Bush didn't fight for when he was nominated for a judgeship -- doesn't fit that bill? I don't care if he's President; if he is going back on a campaign promise, he's going to get what's coming to him just like his father did!
What Ingraham has been saying for the past two days is that the President has no business telling people who wrote checks to him and pounded the pavement for him during the '04 campaign for the express purpose of halting the trend toward judicial superlegislature to "tone it down" because he 'doesn't like it when someone criticizes his friends.' What could be more lame than that?
The only "nonsense" is coming from people who think that Bush has earned the benefit of the doubt. Wake up and smell the Chafee people! Bush is NOT a demigod! He isn't infallible! And when he's about to make a mistake that will last for decades, set aside your reverence and speak the truth!
