Hold on, cause if Specter acted like a Republican, I might lose mine too!

Better go to the bathroom before watching the video. I still am in shock. I think Teddy totally blew it. He was so sure Specter was going to roll he lost it when Specter slapped him down.

All the swimmer had to do was read the article in the NYSlimes. They had the papers and wrote that clearly Alito had no involvement in the running of the organization.

[andyland]

Graham has been impressive so far...

[Flavius Josephus]

You think Imus is funny?

[rwa265]

"I lost my notes."

Reminds me of the end of a Simon and Garfunkel song: "I dropped my harmonica, Albert."

[sageb1]

Wow! Looked like Graham got pretty emotional in his apology to Alito.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Why a subpoena? It's the Library of... who? again?"

Because then you can say that the Republicans are trying to HIDE something about this nominee.

:46 Now Graham gets nasty: "Are you a closet bigot?"

Alito: "I'm not any kind of bigot."

Graham is satisfied.

4:43 Sen. Graham moves on to his years at Princeton. "The more I learn about Princeton... it's an interesting place. What's an eating club?"

Alito explains to the rednecks in the audience what a Princeton dining club

(sl -- LOL LOL LOL)

That was funny. It made my dad get up and leave. Guess he doesn't have a sense of humor.

[A CA Guy]

Yep, and satellite dish programing don't offer Fox on the bottom tier, you have to purchase higher level programing for Fox, but CNN and MSNBC are at the lower levels.

In that case, I think people will pay to get Fox since almost none watch CNN or MSNBC.

[jennyjenny]

I thought he was gonna start crying there for a minute.

[bkepley]

>It's not that...it's just kind of dumb

I mean Fox News Channel is kind of dumb, except the news hour which is fine. I'd rather watch the History Channel though.

[saveliberty]

:-) No slaps, I just don't want you to miss a good host.

[mware]

Graham is now saying we here in congress will be judged by the groups that we have taken donations from, if they are not what they seem to be ,will we be believed when we say we did not know it.

Wonder if he knows any Dem's on the other side of the hearing committee will be looked into.

[Chuck54]

Very perspective there Cotton. LOL

[Flavius Josephus]

Snarlin' Arlen B!TCH slapped him, whut he did.

[GoldwaterChick]

This is the Lindsey Graham I always admired before he went berserk for a while.

"Judge Alita, I am sorry you have had to sit thru this. I am sorry your family has had to sit through this."

Our Southern Gentleman is back. I drifted off on FNC and thought the break was still on so thanks for the tip. Guess I'm on C-span for a while.

[Fudd Fan]

Fox and Friends was reporting that no Dems on the committee would come on Fox. None

I saw that this morning. E.D. was the one who made the point, even.

[saveliberty]

I sure do

[conservativebabe]

Yes, that's what happens when humans have empathy. A concept foreign to most of the Dems on that committee.
