[history]
Judge Samuel A. Alitos wife Martha left the confirmation hearing room in tears this evening, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) apologized to the Judges family for the behavior of his fellow committee members during the course of the last three days.
Sen. Graham said: Judge Alito, I am sorry that youve had to go through this. I am sorry that your family has had to sit here and listen to this.
Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have attacked Judge Samuel A. Alito over his membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton and his involvement in the Vanguard case.
One senior Republican in the hearing room said of the situation: After three full days of attacks against her husbands character, Mrs. Alito had enough. Democrat behavior during this hearing has not only been wrong, its been embarrassing. Ted Kennedy is nothing but a bully.

There's no crying in Supreme Court nominee hearings.
In other news, Drudge is a pansy ass.

She should count her blessings. Ted Kennedy* usually leaves women dead in a car.

Actually, Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy usually leaves them alive but trapped in a sunken car to slowly suffocate before they actually drown.

Hang in there, baby. Your husband will be confirmed to the Court and all this skullduggery will one day be a distant memory. Hold your head high, friend. Peace

Just tears? She's a strong lady. I'd tear out my hair listening to those pompous senators.

OUCH!
That's a bit harsh... Couldn't you be a little nicer about the whole thing?
Try: "She should count her blessings. Ted Kennedy Has been known to leave women in a car that's upside down and underwater."
See?

Drudge misreported the story. Here is what happened according to my sources: Mrs. Alito sat up too close to the front and got a good look at Kennedy and started puking in a napkin and ran out of the room.
To: precedence
According to Drudge, she left in tears after Graham apologized to Alito for the treatment he's had to endure at the hands of Schumer, Kennedy, et al.
Just got home, so I don't know if it's true or not.

" I'd tear out my hair listening to those pompous senators."
Why "listening"? Hear, but do not listen - that's the recipe. And you'll be saving on a toupee, too.

It's true. In fact, Lindsey Graham teared up at seeing her reaction.
