I mentioned elsewhere that her response to Lindsey Graham's kind words reminded me of being a kid and getting hurt, and staying tough while I was at the neighbors, but starting to cry when I saw my Mom.

I think it was an emotional response to the sympathy and caring of Graham after the brutal, lying abuse of the RATS who were demeaning her good husband and wounding her by doing so.

She needs our prayers............and yes......flowers would be lovely.

I certainly will. Another FReeper has been saying the St. Michael Prayer every time one of those awful Dems rears his ugly head. It is most appropriate:

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray.
And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God
Thrust into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits
Who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Did Nightline say that the Dems were wrong or made a mistake? I saw it live today, and it made me tear up, and I realized how many years we and our reps have been slandered and smeared by these Dems.

Bless you, Palladin for offering your prayer--a great way to end the day. Bless all the Alito family who have been dragged thru this disgraceful charade. May we soon see Judge Alito being sworn in as the next Supreme Court Justice by our noble President and surrounded by his smiling family.

I'm not checking to see if there are any more posts--I give up for today! Goodnight all!

NO...of course they didn't say the dems were wrong, it was a VERY short segment...just like a news short.

I wonder if it would have been longer if it had gone better for the dems...

I thought maybe a few night owls would be interested in this.

What Would You Ask Samuel Alito?
President Bush's nominee already knows the answers to questions the White House coaches and handlers anticipated, but he hasn't heard from you -- yet.

As he makes his case to serve on the nation's Supreme Court, what is the most important question you think Samuel Alito should answer?

Totally agree!

Here is the opening of the NYTimes online article regarding the incident:

Eight hours and several intense grillings after the start of Wednesday's hearings, Judge Alito's wife Martha-Ann broke into tears and left the room. Along with a small picture of her crying.

No Surprise...

Defiance, anger, stoicism, even frustration are emotional bandages.

Or in some cases battle gear :)

"As he makes his case to serve on the nation's Supreme Court, what is the most important question you think Samuel Alito should answer?"

That's rich. Teddy and the Dims must be totally lost on what other questions to ask (which is rather obvious since they either don't ask any and keep bloviating and/or keep asking the same questions on the same subjects - all of which are included in the questionnaire) if they're asking for help on the outside. Quess the Daily Kos, moveon, NARAL, et al are fresh out of questions for them.

Teddy "the Swimmer" should ask Judge Alito if he thinks that there is a statute of limitations on a murder. And, if he doesn't, since Alito said no man is above the law, should he (Teddy) be worried.
