>>But the one moment when Alito said that he disdains all women who choose abortion after five months or more was a real surprise.<< I just want you to know that some of us only get our information from this thread because the TV is showing Dora the Explorer to "Flu-Girl". You nearly gave me a heartattack! LOL!

LOL ............... sorry..... I thought a few times before putting that up, but did it anyhow. Have a nice glass of wine, you'll be fine.

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

No, not even close! Have you forgotten Helen Thomas and Madeleine Allbright? Either one of them could send children screaming into the street.

I'm sorry, I would love to be considered eye candy.
I can't see why you would not.

[retrokitten]

I would guess that any woman would just as soon, "throw up" as have men gawk at her. "Am I right, ladies? RSVP

Uh, no. Women can be smart AND pretty, be recognized for both and not be insulted or driven to vomit.

[ilovew]

Lol I'm not sure I want to. She'll think I'm weird for liking guys being attracted to me.

[davidosborne]

Very good point well made

[ken5050]

Great story..however, instead of the pink flamingos...he could have put the TEN COMMANDMENTS on display..

[LucyJo]

I think he walked in without doing any "special" preparation. He knows the law, he's honest, he knows how to read the questions, and he is exceptionally capable of composing responsive answers on the fly.

That's the way he's coming across to me too, and I think that's a good thing. Portends well for the Court, but I think a lot of viewers will pick up on it too. His poll numbers are already favorable for confirmation.

I heard a caller (obviously liberal) on C-Span say that Alito's wife was being "unfair" to Dems on the panel, by her facial expressions when the camera is on Alito, and her. He said she kept looking at someone off to the side and making faces. I think it's hilarious, but I'm wondering if the MSM is going to focus on it in a negative way now.

The Mendoza Line. lol

I always think of the Witch in the Wizard of Oz when I see her.

The dems have not asked one substantive question.
They focused on the Vanguard and search issues while touching on terrorist's rights and unitary executive theories.
basically, they have nothing are are just bloviating about nothing just to hear themselves talk and to appease the move-on/DU/Kos moonbats. They need to keep them happy so the money flows in.

Alito has schooled them (like Roberts) in civics and basic separation of powers topics.
He's been as good as we could have expected so far.
I think the embarrassment they were subjected to by Roberts has them gun shy.
We should expect more of the same garbage from them until the witness portion of the hearings when they have people up there voicing their opinions ( I'm afraid he'll strip my 10yo child so please don't appoint him), which can't be countered with facts.

Long ago in another life, I attended a ZZ Topp Concert with somone who hid her MJ & pills in her son's diaper. "All persons present" damn well SHOULD mean ALL PERSONS PRESENT.

[retrokitten]

Oh yes! She is kind of Bad Witch-like.

[beltfed308]

You asked for it!

You are going to love this one....Slow Joe Biden lied.

BIDEN LIES ABOUT PRINCETON! [John Podhoretz] Alert reader S.F. has just sent me a link to the audio of a speech Biden delivered at Princeton, the school he said he "really, really didn't like" -- in which he said, "I had been pushing Princeton" on his kids and "I tried to get all three of them to apply here."

Oh, well. Maybe it was Neil Kinnock who "really didn't like Princeton."

Posted at 12:57 PM

If you want the audio of Biden fauning over Princeton while giving a speech...let me know.

[Not A Snowbird]

Hey! Stop that.

[NeoCaveman]

LOL! Get out of my head!

But it's so nice and roomy in here.....

(/running and ducking for cover)

If you take a pic of Monica Lewinsky, and use that FBI aging software to morph it...ya know......
