The Dems have truly jumped-the-shark this time...
The democrats are in desperation mode. This was merely a ploy to take the focus off Alito's nomination and redirect it back to Libby, Plame and WMD. They already know they will not be able to win the PR war on or fillibuster Alito unless the public's focus is elsewhere, and even then, it is doubtful they can do it. In their lame attempt to do so, they dealt themselves a load of bad PR, and were only able to divert attention for a short time. When their usually dependable allies in the 'old media' call them disingenuous, you know they screwed up.
