LOL -- look at the budget! They can't count, and we expect them to be able to tell time? LOL!

I was enjoying the talk after the hearing there but they cut it off.

[AliVeritas]

OK Everyone call CSPAN...202-585-3886

I think he said 4:20. It's the mid-afternoon break.

BTW, I think that Alito's last answer regarding policy perspectives was brilliant. He didn't have to answer, but he clarified the role of judges vs. elected officials.

Bravo for him.

[Cboldt]

Until 4:20

Wllace asked Brit, "So what did we learn today?"

Brits response, "Not much."

[G.Mason]

"I'll volunteer (to watch)."

I'll volunteer to choke.

Anyone care to volunteer to grab him?

This is a HOOT- it turns out the articles written in "Prospect" (magazine published by CAP) ...were like any mag- are accompanied by a disclaimer.."these articles are not necessarily the opinion of the publishers or editors" etc...

[twigs]

Even Martin Frost, a partisan dem, said that she was up to the SC challenge as well.

[Txsleuth]

WOW...GREAT...THANK YOU HOWLIN!!

[mtbopfuyn]

It was hilarious earlier when it was brought up that Teddy, in the old days, always had an aide whispering points and questions to ask in his ear. Alcohol slows the brain, huh.

[nfldgirl]

ROTFLOL!!!!

[DoughtyOne]

As opposed to what, sitting around looking befuddled? LOL

[CDB]

Thanks a million for this, Millagro. I was watching the Alito confirmation hearings on C-SPAN, but had to do something else when this whole process was going on. Yet again, these LIVE FR threads demonstrate their indispensability!

[AliVeritas]

Good point from the caller.

[saveliberty]

LOL! Hard to think of Brit learning much anyway -- he is very well informed to begin with.

[mtbopfuyn]

LOL, well duh! Teddy hasn't been to the gym lately!

[eyespysomething]

Oh, that's hilarious, I will have to watch Brit Hume tonight. He'll be sure to rip 'em apart with that!

[mware]

LOL, a stare down between Colburn and Durban, according to Wilson.
