Eating Dirt (Democrats try to play dirty against Alito even while knowing they'll get nowhere.)

Kudos to the fellows at Red State and Townhall, who nailed DNC dirty tricksters for their sliming of SCOTUS nominee Samuel Alito.

Red State got hold of a Word document from the DNC oppo researchers, which included embedded data that showed who worked on it. Based on their research, a couple of low level flunkies pulled the dirt together, while one Devorah Adler did the polish. And who might she be?

Clinton White House documents reveal that she was one of Bruce Reed's deputies on domestic policy back when the Democrats ran the White House. She served as Associate Director for Health Policy.

Now, Avery is plying her Clinton training for Howard Dean. As reported by AmSpecBlog on Monday, Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid seemed to sense a tidal shift in public opinion and MSM coverage of the Alito nomination. Before noon, he spoke to DNC chairman Dean and asked that the rhetoric on Alito be cooled. Dean, according to DNC sources, declined the invitation to be civil toward an esteemed judge.

Now, comes the DNC dirt document, which attempts to slime Alito with charges that he was soft on organized crime and mean to immigrants. See a pattern here?

Panic may now be setting in among Democrats. Sen. Chuck Schumer appeared on CNN late Monday night, with a five o'clock shadow and somber attitude, saying that the Senate should not be rushed into a vote, never mind that Schumer's own staff have been vetting Alito for more than a week, ever since word began leaking out that the White House might be looking to make a change.

Beyond Schumer, both Sens. Ted Kennedy's and Joe Biden's staffs have full briefing books completed on Alito, and were poring through them on Monday afternoon.

One Democratic political consultant who was coming off Capitol Hill after meetings late Monday said there was a level of frustration among Senate Democratic staff that he had not seen with the Roberts nomination. "This is a guy [Alito] who has had 15 years on the bench. Our guys say his rulings are consistent, but for every one you think you have him nailed on ideology, you flip the page and, boom, he cuts back on you to the other side of the argument in a different case. [See John Tabin today.] And it's still solid stuff. This morning, I got the sense our guys were ready for a fight. Now 12 hours later I'm not so sure. They want the fight, they just don't have a lot of ammo."

"They want the fight, they just don't have a lot of ammo."

They've been firing blanks since 2000; you'd think they'd've learned by now.

[goldstategop]

That's right, boys: he's a sexist, a racist, a homophobe, anti-immigrant, anti-worker, anti-environment and he's not a Democrat. All the old playbook cliches dusted off for this round. The reason the Democrats are in a panic is because they can't point to an instance of Alito going beyond the bounds of the law. Its not going to be much of a fight and the fix is in. For people who think Chimp Bush is stupid and they are the smartest guys in the room, they're left trying to figure out how to paint Alito as that dreadful ogre. Good luck.

Even Chris Matthews was disgusted with Dean's talking points. AAAAAAARRRRRGH.

[Kryptonite]

Even Chrissy Matthews was outraged that the opposition led with Alito's failure to obtain a conviction in a mafia-related matter. That was their best angle today, in their feeble minds.

The meltdown is absolutely captivating.

You forgot Italian American from New Jersey who went soft on the mob. Ergo, he must be a Soprano. That was DNC talking point number one.

[Luke21]

I am proud of the president for this choice, a superb one. Rush and Hannity were firing cannons today. When we conservatives unite and stand for principle, we are unbeatable.

[goldstategop]

LOL! Tony Soprano would bust a lot of heads and break a lot of kneecaps just for people with a penchant for insulting Italians. While the Democrats don't have to worry about him, they managed to offend a lot of Italian Americans by implying Alito's a vile person. They never learn.

He who makes a living fighting GWB better have a rich aunt.

Ergo, he must be a Soprano.

The Sopranos I know, who is Ergo?

[conservative in nyc]

Ergo is the nickname of Tony Soprano's long-lost former prosecutor cousin now up for the Supreme Court. Or a fancy Latin word meaning therefore. Take your pick.

I am up watching the rerun of John Gibson filling in for O'Reilly. There is a particularly odious lawyer who is nearly shouting the Dem talking points on Alito. Second time I have seen this guy who looks like a Kerry wannabe with kind of strawberry blond hair talking about the nomination. He is disgraceful and full of himself and annoyed me so much so that I am now up for the duration. That said, FOX would do the President and Judge Alito a public service by giving this guy more air time. The Dems are unhinged.

[gakrak]

Another great day for GWB, you would think these clowns would learn after getting the snot kicked out of them for the past five years. All together now Dem's, "GWB is DUMB" Yeah. LOL. Amen.

[gakrak]

Yeah, they might want to keep that day job, LOL. Amen

[ken5050]

FYI..if you can find the transcript of Dean on Matthews yesterday..several times Chrissie asked him if the Dem party was pro-choice..Dean refused to say it was..Nan Aron must be going ape-shit..

"Clinton Turds"
