as "the only woman on the committee,"

Interesting that she felt is was her role to nag the nominee.

Ha. They just showed Russ Feingold. Even he doesn't look like he can stand listening to Kennedy.

When I hear Kennedy speak, it sounds like the teacher in "Charlie Brown" with a Mass accent.

It was Hatch who recommended Ginsberg, but it was a good choice. Knowing that they would get a Breyer anyway (someone who would vote 100% moonbat) Hatch recommended someone who had a radical past and was a woman but who was old and not in the best of health. A very shrewd move and her setting a precident not to answer questions was just icing on the cake.

Senator Kyl (R) - Arizona, setting the record straight after Leaky and the swimmer.

Citing two liberal paper editorials supporting Roberts.

Chicago Tribune first...

Has anyone else noticed how bitter and angry the Dems sound while the Republicans are smooth and understated?

I wish they would get medieval on their dem asses.
