"Nicer looking Democrat" isn't saying much. He's competing with Drunkard and Frankenstein.

[fatima]

I think Ted Kennedy is the cutest:)

[Fudd Fan]

Yup, THAT's the truth!

[LisaFab]

Here goes Senator "what a waste" he's one of the nicer looking Democrats, but alas a loon!

LOL! He's a dead ringer for Soupy Sales!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I am totally tired of hearing these Senators pontificating and lecturing about laws that have been overturned in the last 15 years by the SCOTUS. Duh! It's been a liberal court and it's their guys and guyettes doing the overruling. I find it interesting that none have addressed the Keho decision.

Viva Alito!

[defconw]

Well exactly, he's good looking compared to that side of the aisle.

[Fudd Fan]

I've also said he looks like Soupy Sales for months now. And he DOES!

[ilovew]

I want to hit him for saying that the President is spying on American citizens. We're listening to TERRORISTS. I don't know why they have trouble understanding that. They're not interested in Billy Bob's conversation with his grandmother.

[defconw]

I see that as well, LOL.

[fatima]

He is-you have a good eye.

[Carolinamom]

Dems have elevated Justice O'Connor to sainthood.

I'm an ex-Virginian and current Pennsylvanian, too. I know of at least one other Freeper who fits that category. I love PA, but miss VA.

He really is! I never noticed that before. Good eye.

There's nothing the dims like better than a "moderate" Republican.

[old_sage_says]

Time for old Teddy to take a leak and chug another pint of scotch.

[Shermy]

Update request.

Has anyone asked Alito a question yet?

[Fudd Fan]

Oh, how I loved those puppets. They were so CUTE!

[mystery-ak]

Questioning will begin tomorrow
