(Senator) Feingold's (D, WI) Vote on Alito Significant

Agreed.

I have it on good authority that Russ' PR team for the donk primaries is furiously reviewing tapes of W's speeches. It appears that his platform is going to be that he is running against GWB. We have refrained from pointing out to the Finegold enthusiasts that Bush is not running for reelection.

He is voting against Alito for the PR and name recognition. Otherwise, he gets about a 3% in most donk preference polls for the 08 primaries.

He is an evil donk weenie and I doubt he survives the caucuses.

I can't even think of a good comment on that statement.

This would be my comment on that statement...

Molly Ivins take on Feingold this morning via C-SPAN:

"On the Democratic side, the only person I see in Washington who is showing any spine at all is this guy Russ Feingold out of Wisconsin. And he's not REAL thrilling"..

Hat tip: spectre

[Russ]

Perfect!

[Malesherbes]

Molly Ivins: Feingold is "not real thrilling." That's what Feingold's two ex-wives said too.

[Fatalist]

And Breyer in 1994. I said Republican nominees though - the author makes it sound like he's always been even handed with Supreme Court nominees when the reality is he's only had one opportunity prior to Alito to vote for a Supreme Court Justice that wasn't a liberal.

[Lancey Howard]

LMAO!!!
This author is sweating profusely in his effort to make Feingold something more than the partisan scumbag that he is. Feingold's vote against Alito makes me like Alito even more.

"Molly Ivins: Feingold is "not real thrilling."

Is Molly holding out for Howeird Dean?

What a PR piece for the Far Left and Feingold! Not even a subtle attempt at manipulation of the mind.

[Loyal Buckeye]

from Madisononion.com?

[Luke21]

Good analogy. Feingold is one of the biggest skunks there is.

[Wonder Warthog]

Let me guess---given the screeching liberal content of the post, this must be from "Madison, WI", and not "Madison, James".

[Big Mack]

Finegold is a twit. In fact, if he should get the dim nomination I might just have to vote for him just to get him out of Wisconsin. Unfortunatly, th US would suffer its' worst defete ever if he should ever become our POTUS. But, maybe if he got the nomination, We could loan some gonads to the Republicans in congress and get them to demand he resign his seat to run like we should have done to JF'nK.

[Big Mack]

He hasn't embarrased himself, just the people of Wisconsin.

Feingold was at my son's Junior High School yesterday taking questions . . . my son asked him why he wouldn't vote to confirm Alito and apparently Feingold danced around the issue with non-answer answers . . . .

As a follow-up question my son asked Feingold why he wouldn't answer his question . . . .that earned him scowls from Secret service and Feingold's "people" . . . . .and a "let's move on" from Feingold.

Your son has fine parents.:-}

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Good for him!

Feingold sets a fine example of what a Statesman should be, Eh? *Rolleyes*
