``but who strip searches a 10 year old girl? ```

Every drug dealer in America must have loved that answer.

Thanks for the birthday stats.

So Justice Stevens is the only really elderly justice, and Ginsburg's health is questionable (poor woman--colon cancer too???). I don't want either of them dead, just off the court. Preferably tomorrow.

Of course, if President Bush does get a chance to nominate another candidate, I'm not sure I'd be able to handle that much excitement!

Rush reports that James Golden knows somebody there at the hearing and that the reporters covering the hearing are absolutely livid because the DemoncRATs haven't been able to do anything to Alito yet.

Unfortunately...THAT was never an option for me! LOL

Alito is fine...... there is no story. He's smart but somewhat of a stiff (except for THE PINK FLAMINGOES.) It is a general bore today.

But the one moment when Alito said that he disdains all women who choose abortion after five months or more was a real surprise.

Just kidding.................

I saw it too. One of the Lib lawyers said the Dems should change the order and let Chuckie go next. IIFRC, it goes in order of seniority alternating between Rs & Ds after the Chairman: Specter, Leahy, Hatch, Kennedy, etc.

Judge Ginsburg must be the most unattractive woman in the world.

Joe Biden is the kind if guy that has learned a few large words and because of that figures it makes him smart.

Alito and Roberts are men in a class of their own. They are very different than small men like a Biden or a Kerry who are in politics because they don't have the creative talents that allow them to be excellent at anything significant. I'm not saying that the office of a US Senator is not significant, I'm just saying that there are few people in the Senate that are the best and brightest of us all.

What's laughable is that the idiot Imus has stated on numerous occasions how much he likes Biden

Imus is a groupie.

"How many of you would secretly LOVE to be hired for a job because you were 'eye candy'? "

This kind of question, posed by whomever, is totally beyond insulting. I would guess that any woman would just as soon, "throw up" as have men gawk at her. "Am I right, ladies? RSVP
