Is your middle name Orrin?

Is yours Idiot?

My position is clearly way off to Miranda's side from Hatch's. If you can't discuss the matter without starting with the insults, just shut it.

Let's clone this guy, and replace all the Republican Senators.

centurion316, you nailed it! My sentiments exactly. Way to go!

[pogo101]

Orrin Hatch is still bucking for a Supreme Court spot and a favorable "legacy".

I surely agree about the legacy. But I sense not only that Hatch is too old to make an attractive SCOTUS pick but also that he knows he is. Still, your essential "trying to polish his image" point is sound.

I disagree with that analogy. It wasn't like opening an unlocked file of someone.

It was shared space with bad security and IT management (and we trust these bozos to pass laws regulating the computer business?).

It's more like a collegue leaves his magazine in the employee cafeteria and you pick it up and read it on your break and you realize it's a book filled with child porn and you report him to HR.

The Republicans in Congress are cowards for the most part. Hatch is nothing but a figure head and there is not one iota of honesty in the whole damn bunch.
Alec Baldwin didnt take his statement far enough the whole damn bunch of crooks at the least should be out in jail or turn Alec loose to kill them provided he take out the whole bunch.(Joking of course on the killing part)
The whole bunch are in bed together and trying to put a staff member in jail for exposing their corruption.
The damn MAFIA could learn from Congress. For as that goes I am beginning to think Saddam and Bin Laden are just as good and more honorable than that bunch. The average American had better awaken if it is not already too late.

OK. These are minor matters of degree, not of kind. It was minor-ly wrong of him, and I just think that his bash at the MAJOR wrongs revealed in the memos would have some more oomph if he paused to say so. Probably his lawyer wouldn't let him.

Bottom line is no different: Why are the media largely ignoring what's IN the memos??

[Fledermaus]

Because the media is liberal and have the same goals as the Dems.

Manuel Miranda will be on C-SPAN's Washington Journal at 9:30 AM EST.

I copied your 'pings' from your post up to 'The Shrew'(that's all that shows), if you're online, can you ping the rest that you know are interested.

Go Manny!!!

during the Clarence Thomas nomination battle, the Post took illegal possession of the Anita Hill documents, or in other cases of unethical conduct that have embarrassed Republicans? Unlike the Democratic judiciary memos, the Anita Hill documents were "classified"; their disclosure was a crime.
