The STUPID dims ask him questions, yet, they never listen to him. When he answers they turn around and talk to aides and are just rude!!!!!!!!!

Alito deserves lots of praise and prayers. Who would want to go through this? Not me.

[Miss Marple]

Well, isn't THAT an interesting article!

Lots of familiar names there, including Mary Beth Cahill and Greg Craig, not to mention that that dweeb Steve Scully of C-SPAN was a guest. Is Scully a friend or staff?

[King David]

"Kennedy, dressed as a furry King Kong,"

This doesn't even take any effort. It's like trying to picture Jessica Simpson as a beautiful ditzy blonde.

I think Springer decided against running - he is too highminded and moral for the Democratic party.

[Howlin]

lol

[pillut48]

Someone mentioned that Alito has the most judicial experience of any SC judge/nominee? (except for one in the early 20th century) in the history of SCOTUS.

[NeoCaveman]

(like more time to review Rusher's documents)?

What happend to Rusher's right to privacy?

I'm not surprised to see that Greg Craig was the Kennedys' party but...Steve Scully?

[Txsleuth]

I want to thank Sen. DeWine for letting me catch up to the thread...no fireworks here...move along.

[daybreakcoming]

Geez, if he looks like that after going to this alleged "gym" imagine what he would look like if he didn't!

I have to say a visual of Kennedy going to the gym just gave me the best excuse ever not to go tomorrow. Maybe never again. What if I ended up looking like him?

[ilovew]

I wouldn't either. They're asking questions to make points, not to hear his answers. They've already decided they're not going to vote for him. They're just trying to bait him so they can get a reason why. And Kennedy's failure to get an executive committee meeting was a last ditch effort to bring down the nomination.

[epluribus_2]

Well he will be a fine justice - and if any of these rats or their ilk end up in front of him... They WILL pay attention to what he has to say.

[Clint N. Suhks]

What can they do to Kennedy for holding up the hearings on an irrelevant basis (like more time to review Rusher's documents)?

That's all this is about. I say the answer is to not let them have any extra time...Kennedy had months to get these.

[Miss Marple]

LOL! Exactly my point.

[Txsleuth]

Supposedly they talked to him during the break...and he said it was okay.

[jennyjenny]

He sure looks Red.

Yes, he does and the end of his nose looks like it could fall off at anytime. Sure signs of someone that has a drinking problem.

[saveliberty]

In DC?

[Howlin]

dewine is asking REAL questions

[daybreakcoming]

And Kennedy's failure to get an executive committee meeting was a last ditch effort to bring down the nomination.

I think you are exactly right. He wouldn't have made a fool out of himself over nothing, would he? Would he? :o)
