Judge Samuel A. Alito’s wife Martha left the confirmation hearing room in tears this evening, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) apologized to the Judge’s 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 you’ve 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 husband’s character, Mrs. Alito had enough. Democrat behavior during this hearing has not only been wrong, it’s been embarrassing. Ted Kennedy is nothing but a bully.”
Developing...
Most likely she was bored to tears by Shameful Schumer and his cronies.
Justice Alito. Has a good ring to it.
This is up there now:

She needs to chill out. Relax. Hubby will be in shortly.
Then her hubby will help make all these puking liberals cry every night as this country changes course for the RIGHT.
Right after that apology, Graham read a very moving unsolicied letter from a lady who worked with Alito. She is a liberal DEM, and had nothing but high praise for his ethics and care for people.
Tears of joy, in a sense.
Burn in hell dems...
okay, I feel a little better now.
Tears of joy as her husband reaches the pinnacle of jurists.
I would be crying too.
GO ALITOS
I see a heart attack, with strokes, in the making.
I'm sorry I missed what sounds like the one moment of humanity through this circus.
She wasn't crying. She was just sitting too close to Sen Kennedy, and could only stand the constant stream of hot, bourbon flavored air before her eyes started watering.
The truly outrageous fact is that all of these Supreme Court nominees are 1000 times smarter than any of those blowhards gilling them. Biden???? Biden thinks he's smarter than Roberts or Alito? Did you hear about Biden's big lie er..blunder about Princeton. The guy just can't help himself. God, I hate these people.
"Hear, but do not listen - that's the recipe"
Ah, that's how Mr. Alito handles it!
MAN! The stress they must endure through all this CHIT must be tremendous! I bet you they didn't even sleep well last night, matter a fact, probably for the past few months. I LOATHE THE RATS, simply hate them!!
That pic is begging for a photoshop corndog.
Thanks. Saves me the bother of opening FireFox which I won't visit Drudge without.
The second moment. Alito's recounting of his upbringing and coming of age were very real.
That should be the "Pic of the Day"!
