I firmly believe that Kennedy has someone feed him questions...and answers. He's a complete fool.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I would love to see how these sock puppets explain why the opinion of the ABA-the "gold standard" according these same nitwits when President Bush decided to exclude them from the vetting process-is now irrelevant.

[prairiebreeze]

Is a recusal such as Feingold proposed common?? I don't recall anything like that at say, Darth Vader Ginsberg's hearings.

I am sure that he has been drinking but I just think that he would be an idjit to do it on Committee, what with FoxNews (LOL!) there and all.

>I give up! Who is that in the pic you posted?

Looks like Di-Fi, contemplating the utter demise of liberalism.

ABA guy is calling out Fatty about the facts.
"Yes i missed it, it was a mistake" was good enough for the ABA but not for Fatso.

[hershey]

Lindsey strays off the reservation from time to time...very upsetting.

[andyland]

Hopefully by the word and not by the drink!

[prairiebreeze]

Kennedy is a lifelong liar and so is Schumer. I guess it takes one to know one. Pfft!

[CharlesWayneCT]

I just remembered that on my initial job application out of college I included that I was the leader of a group called the "Reformed University Movement". It was a group we formed so that we could sign up for a room on campus which we used for our church to meet on Sundays.

So far as I know, we never had a meeting, we had no budget, no members, and I had completely forgotten the whole thing until I was reviewing my resume.

[saveliberty]

Well creative they are not

[syriacus]

Alito admitted he made a mistake re: Vanguard.

BTW, which life insurance company did Mary Jo Kopechne pay premiums to, before she was killed?

[Peach]

Hatch clarifies the drunk's lies and says that Judge Alito DID admit he made a mistake right away. As opposed to Kennedy saying Alito FINALLY admitted it.

[retrokitten]

Warning: Stupidest question ever coming!

Is John Kyl huge (tall, not Kennedy like huge) or is the desk really tiny?

[daybreakcoming]

The mistake, Ted, was that you didn't get the chair for killing Mary Jo..

Yeah Ted. America is puzzled and does not understand that.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

[Carolinamom]

The novelty of having an HONEST MAN before them has these dem senators confused, and troubled. They can't understand highly intelligent, fact filled replies because they are not his intellectual equals.

I doubt that THEIR own staffs would give them the high praise that Judge Alito's staff and fellow judges are giving him.

[andyland]

LOL!!!!

[saveliberty]

It's possible that some FOBs went off into other ventures and therefore don't pose the ideological bent that they did in years past.

So far as I know, we never had a meeting, we had no budget, no members, and I had completely forgotten the whole thing until I was reviewing my resume.

Well, there goes your seat on the Supreme Court!
