BONEHEAD PLAYS MAKE DEMS LOOK LIKE DUMBS (Senators make Martha-Ann cry)

NY POST ^ | January 12, 2006 | DEBORAH ORIN

Congratulations, Democrats. You managed to make Supreme Court nominee Sam Alito's wife cry.

If there was a stupider move in the Democratic playbook, it's hard to imagine, although there sure were plenty of dumb moves as Dems vented their angst ...........Sen. Ted Kennedy exploded in a little temper tantrum that showed the acute Dem frustration over the calm, reassuring, everyman image projected by Alito. ........Dems trying the hardest to trip up Alito seemed more interested in the sound of their own voices bloviating than in getting real answers.

On the first round of Q&A, Sen. Chuck Schumer spoke 3,471 words in questioning Alito — Laito's 1,166 to reply.......Kennedy spoke 3,282 words---Alito' reply 1,557. And Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) hit the record with 3,739 words, while giving Alito time for just 1,021.....

ROFLLLLL!!!

[M. Dodge Thomas]

Yup. Lindsey Graham. Thanks.

[cubreporter]

Judge and Mrs. Samuel Alito. A man and woman, husband and wife, mother and father of dignity and class. Something none of those jerks would know anything about.

I gained new respect for Sen Graham watching this. Unlike so many of our political "leaders", he took a moment to step back and look at the big picture and at the same time humanize the controversies.

How will our government function if good people are treated badly. As civility recedes, what remains?

This confirmation hearing is and will become a defining moment for the Democratic Party. Other than the far left hate-mongers clowns, the rest of the Democrat Party faithful have to be terribly, terribly embarrassed by the performance of Mo, Larry and Curly...aka Kennedy, Biden, Leahy. These are not good men, just stupid old white men that have to go. What a set of poster boys......

Just came back from the DUmp and I need to take a shower

"Senator, with all due respect,'oh Yea ?'...."

Laz: "Senator, and I mean this most respectfully -- f*** you."

[misterrob]

I really love listening the the democrats. Criticize one of them and it is a smear campaign. Do it to a Republican and it's simply telling the truth.

[Lazamataz]

Diane Feinstein...said... "I want to go back to Roe, of course..."

What she meant, was, she wanted to go back to the fish egg from which she was hatched.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

What poor SOB had to to the word count on Biden?

Senator Joe Biden, the supreme bloviating plagiarizer. Apparently the Dems think this is the best they can put up in this situation?! I say let him keep talking........ right into a HOLE!

[smith288]

smith288: "Senator, in light of your question, a famous saying comes to mind that best underscores my response. Suck it."

[Ouderkirk]

He should ask drunken Teddy "What's your point?"

He should as "WHAT KIND OF COSMIC BUNNY HOLE HAVE I FALLEN INTO. I'M ANSWERING QUSTIONS FROM LARRY, CURLY, AND MOE?....OR DEWEY, CHEATEM AND HOWE?

[Lazamataz]

You said a-hole.

Hehh hehehhheh hehehehhehheh heheh hehhehhhehehehhehh

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I think I just found what the worlds worst job is - counting the words of politicans.... yuck, yuck and yuck...

"DIRTY JOBS" and somebody's gotta do it!

[Lazamataz]

He should as "WHAT KIND OF COSMIC BUNNY HOLE HAVE I FALLEN INTO.

No good. The New York Times headline would be "Alito Shows Hostility Towards Animals, Opposes Space Exploration"

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

None of them see a problem with it. I can't believe how politically naive they are.

Actually I found a DU thread from the day before where they were moaning about how these Sens were NOT able to get the job done, because none of them were asking the right questions, like a prosecutor would.

[cgk]

ROFL!!!!!

(you almost owe me a new keyboard... !)

[Ouderkirk]

LOL !!

[brazzaville]

Good morning.
"I gained new respect for Sen Graham watching this."

Don't let Graham fool you. He wants to be president and he will take whatever position he thinks will get him there.

This morning the Dems are stil flailing away while the Republicans (Grassley and Specter) are telling funny stories.

This is over.
