National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) Statement:
The NIAF is distressed by the attempts of some senators and the media (CNN, CBS) to marginalize Judge Samuel Alito's outstanding record, by frequent reference to his Italian heritage and by the use of the nickname, "Scalito."
Appropriately, no one mentioned that Justice Breyer was Jewish or suggested that he was lock-step ideologically with the other Jewish Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, it would have been outrageous to do so. We still do not know Justice Robert's ethnicity.
We are justly proud of Justice Alito's Italian heritage and his sterling academic and judicial records as well as his impeccable integrity. However, he should be considered as an individual. In honor of the memory of the just departed Rosa Parks the Senate champions of civil rights should insist that Judge Alito be considered only on his extraordinary merits.
Sincerely,
A. Kenneth Ciongoli
Chairman of the National Italian American Foundation
what do you own a copy of the script? I suppose you sleep with a stuffed horse's head in your bed too.
I thought it was a reference to the (hopefully justified) fear the left has that he will be another Scalia. Some people need to lighten up - it's not an insult, it's a compliment!
What a boob!
P.S. - Not that it matters, but it's La Leche League
At least he isn't named "Scooter."
you can see where its going from this thread:

"To be fair isn't that nickname something that his colleagues call him? Pretty dumb either way."
Yes, but let liberals reap what they sow.
No, they don't........
So is Chuckie Schumer then Anti-Italian American?
Only a real "Putz" would go down that road.
Very true. People who grew up outside of the northeast or the Chicago area are shocked at how much the stereotype persists, even if their are more Italian-American bankers and lawyers than mobsters or folks in the "linen supply business."
One thing that's great about the rise of Central American and Russian gangs: somebody else is now stereotyped into the role of "criminal."
Heh heh heh. A good omen?
Wasn't his nickname "Machine gun" alioto or was that just a Freeper thing.
I like it when the Italians get all mad,,they carry it off well.
"Robert's"? The Chairman of the National Italian American Foundation needs to brush up on the rules for apostrophe usage.
It is a term of endearment. Some people need to get a life
This is precisely the point. Make the sniveling liberals and the RAT patrol eat the same crap they foist on the conservatives. In other words, give em some of their own castor oil and watch em choke. This demonstrates their utter and stupid hypocrisy for all to see.
Sorry - I always get my Breast Milk Organizations mixed up! I'm always falling into that booby trap. I'll try harder to keep abreast of them all. Thanks for being a bosom buddy and correcting my error. I was such a jughead, I guess I win the booby prize. I'm glad for the chance to make a clean breast of things. Oh well, tit for tat. I guess I've milked this for all it's worth. Ta-ta(s) for now.
this group ought to get a life
As an Italo-Conservative-Attorney-Freeper-American, the NAIF should STFU and not stoop to such nosense.
