Who Caused Alito's Wife to Cry?

Evidently the message has been received. WABC radio stated only that Mrs. Alito broke into tears following constant attacks on her husband. No mention at all of Graham.

[Go Gordon]

You deny that Graham and McCain are grandstanders? You aren't watching the same Sunday talk shows that I do.

the talk shows have nothing to do with the hearings. You are still and ass.

[OldFriend]

You are assuming that the demonrats have ball$?

They are spawn of the devil without soul or gender....IMO

[CedarDave]

Do you honestly believe that if he was attacking the nominee he would have continued with "no you're not"? I don't think so.

Of course he wasn't attacking Alito. However it was his choice of words BEFORE "no you're not" that made it appear he was, just for a few tension-filled seconds. His use of that dramatic technique followed by praise brought forth Mrs. Alito's tears. Lindsey was grandstanding by doing what he did, no matter his intentions. And the lying MSM will take any opportunity to take a quote out of context with the result being the deliberate confusion presented by the media.

Ted Kennedy did more today to help Alito's cause than any Republican, to date. The very images of Alito's wife crying behind her husband after he was called a racist, bigot and homophobe by Kennedy would sway any woman in favor of the judge, IMHO.

[Go Gordon]

Lindsey Graham is an idiot. He should have thought about the consequences of his ill-concieved remarks before letting fly. I applaud Graham's attempt to apologize for what our government has become - a theater for self grandiose. Of course, on the other hand, you may want to explain your defense of Senators Kennedy, Schumer etc. If not, then remember back to how your parents raised you. Graham's apology was appropriate, because he is one of the GROUP, even though he was a pubbie and the skanks were RATs.

[OldFriend]

I agree completely with your assessment of why Mrs. Sam cried.

Just a look at her face crumpling and I began to cry. I still have a lump in my throat all these hours later.

[Go Gordon]

Aren't we all glad that it's not Harriet Miers up there?

Amen!

[CedarDave]

Your name-calling comment shows I'm in good company then.

[Go Gordon]

While Kennedy was grilling her husband I believe she was looking at a picture of Mary Jo Kopechne and the irony of a murderer riding judgment over her husband just kind of got to her.

What if Alito would have said: "Senator, you've asked for my personal views on so many issues. Why haven't you asked me whether YOU were guilty of murder?"

[freema]

That sound bite, attributing Graham to being derogatory, was on the evening network news.

[quantim]

Fat Ted is the only sub-human that actually makes Kerry look smart. The fact they are both senators from MA is not a coincidence.

[Go Gordon]

"Judge Alito, did you ever get drunk and drive your car into the river and forget you had a date until the next morning?"

AWESOME!!!

[WillT]

Anyone who was watching the hearings and has a brain knows that Mrs. Alito's exasperation was caused by the Dems, not Graham. He probably pulled out her pent-up emotions.

[CedarDave]

Alito may have been thinking, is he friend or foe? Not too smart for the Goober.

Alito kept his composure, as he was required to do. The tension followed by relief was too much for his wife who had to listen to the attacks on her husband through out the day.

[Salvation]

Good grief, Graham was apologizing for the way the dimocrats had treated Alito.

[Go Gordon]

Your name-calling comment shows I'm in good company then.

With the Democrats? Congratulations...

[Jeff Chandler]

I can't believe AP intentionally tried to blame Lindsey for Mrs. Alito's breakdown

Believe it. They're that dishonest.

[CedarDave]

Ted Kennedy did more today to help Alito's cause than any Republican, to date. The very images of Alito's wife crying behind her husband after he was called a racist, bigot and homophobe by Kennedy would sway any woman in favor of the judge, IMHO.

No disagreement here, no matter what finally triggered her tears.

People like you are easy to love.
