Sorry- but I missed the whole thing today. Were the Dem callers disgusted at Mrs. Alito or the Dems line of questioning?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Mara and Mort were kind of negative (IMO)

bttt

[Arizona Carolyn]

Dems line of questioning.

[Wolfstar]

I suspect once the media shows Mrs. Alito's reaction...

Mabye it's just my cynicism and mistrust of the MSM, but with the exception of Fox, I doubt the media will show her reaction. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if David Letterman finds a way to make a joke about her distress.

[conservativebabe]

The Dems, particularly Kennedy and Schumer.

[Gunder]

The DUmmies are flipping out about Mrs. Alito's tears, calling it staged. Go over there for some good chuckles.

To the minority on the Judiciary Committee

Dour, dour, liberal scowlers --
Angry men without no powers.
Dems can bark, can lie, and bite
But still can't win their dirty fight

Great...now I'll have that song from "Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban" in my head all night! Good job on the words, though.

[conservativebabe]

I'm sorry to say that I agree with your assessment. No one will see it.

[milagro]

Really--thank you!! And as for Mara and Mort--oh well!

Brit Hume just had a clip from Jon Stewart:

OMG! The Democrats are having a FRET-A-BUSTER!

[conservativebabe]

Had it been staged, it would have been theatrical and not subtle as it was.

For crying out loud, everything is a conspiracy to those loons.

[conservativebabe]

That was hilarious!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I think one of those Burger King crowns would be a more fitting chapeau for good ol' Joe.

This is what the United States Senate -- the "greatest deliberative body in the world -- has been reduced to:
