As usual, such impressions must be passed through the "abortion filter" before they make sense.
LOL! That's Lord Hildemort to you muggles! LOL!
OMG that is his DAUGHTER?? I thought it was possibly his granddaughter.
Good catch! Michaelangelo would be proud.
Oh how I agree on that one..look at KKK Byrd he shakes all over when he talks and look at the Boozer Fat Teddy his hands shake unless he holds them down..
I don't know if others have made this point to date, but here goes. Italians are a very unusual ethnic group in the U.S. in that for over a century now they have voted more or less 50/50 Dem/Rep. I suppose, but cannot document, that large Italian donors to political parties likely split the same way.
My point is that Teddy and the Dems are managing quite nicely to lose their 50% by the way in which they are approaching Alito. They are messing with the wrong judge and, certainly, with the wrong ethnic group. I would be willing to bet that hundreds and thousands of Italian donors to the Dems have called their respective committee leaders to tell them to shove it come next election. I would also bet that hundreds of thousands of Italians are permanently switching political parties as we speak and listen.
Leahy is mugging for the camera, again. Like he didn't talk enough in the hearings.
That explains Ted's shakiness, then.... It takes a long time for those fat waves to damp out.
Sorry Biden but 200 little girls won't hide the fact that you are a treacherous sleeze ball.
GOP Not Afraid of Filibuster [Ed Whelan 01/12 09:39 AM]
From a senior Senate GOP leadership aide:
1. Run against President Bush, like it’s 2004 all over again—NSA, 2000 Supreme Court election decision, etc.
2. When not doing 1, continually hammer at abortion—which the majority of America is uncomfortable with, to say the least.
3. When not doing 1 or 2, keep talking about CAP, which no American understands.
4. When not doing 1, 2, or 3, tick off Chairman Specter: first threaten to postpone the markup date, then pull a procedural stunt behind his back.
5. When not doing 1, 2, 3, or 4, and all else fails, don’t even apologize when the nominee’s wife cries.
Good plan.
And these guys still want to threaten a filibuster?
Bring it!
… and Ruth Ginsberg.
The Stage Deli could name a sandwich after her.
"The Justice O'Connor":
Anything you want on it but it's cut down the middle.
"Opponents of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s nomination to the Supreme Court expressed growing frustration Wednesday at the course of his confirmation hearings, saying that Democratic senators were struggling in their effort to build a strong case against him and that his confirmation appeared increasingly inevitable."
"Every answer he gives he gives himself a little out," said [whined] Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women.
anyone member the photo op of Saddam with the kid??? I wonder if Biden asked the little girl if she was getting her milk??
Leahy is acting like Alito doesn't understand or agree with the First Amendment.....
What an terrible person....politics makes him act like a Stalinist.
I would think there's a chance, but of course everything depends on how much the libs try to delay the vote, etc.
That might be one of the pages.
