At the end of the article, it quotes the "source" as saying that everyone wound up "feeling sorry for [Alito]."

I don't remember anyone feeling sorry for Alito at the time. Everyone seemed to be very impressed with his erudition and smarts and how he was running rings around the Democrats intellectually. Orin Hatch said that he thought Alito was even better than Roberts. Commentators were saying that the Democrats couldn't lay a finger on him.

This reporter is trying to sell a story about that evil, cunning Karl Rove and how he tricked the Democrats.

Don't make me blow snot man!!

Pretty naive thought, eh? You know, the only people who would be against it are the libs.

Yes, naive, and somewhat against the first amemdment. The media is biased I know, but regulating it is not the answer. Boycotting it is a better response. I.E. don't watch lib networks, don't read lib rags. Write to advertisers from those entities with your intention not to do business with them. I.E. drink Coke instead of Pepsi. Buy Budweiser instead of Coors. There are "liberal" and "conservative" corporations and they support their own.

Didn't notice it, no. I normally do not read MSNBC for anything more than general news. For Political news I usually read the CSM or watch Fox News or The Naked News, easier on the eyes and makes he news go down nice. Just Kidding.

My husband testified twice in court in two seperate cases, both times he was given the same advice by prosecutor about not getting rattled, staying calm- letting the opposing attorney be the one to "look bad" if he was yelling, preaching or lecturing. So to me this sounds like standard advice and to Judge Alito, I am sure it was not even necessary to tell him that. It was just done as a reminder type thing. I don't consider that a "set-up" just SOP. Did I miss something?

I know you are questioning the form of the story, but I question the content just as much as the form.

Tammy - sorry, I'm not following you. I'm questioning neither the form nor the content of the story; others are.

I'm sorry, I know others were concentrating on the quotations being wrong, I just wanted to point out the whole premise of the article was silly. I may have replied to you in error.
