Good morning, all.

Join us today for the final victory lap, the vote to "confirm Samuel Alito, of New Jersey, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court."

It's all over except the final vote tally.

Lots of surprises yesterday at the HUGE vote to impose cloture, so perhaps there are still some surprise votes to come?

Fox just reported that Planned Parenthood calls Alito's confirmation a "Crushing Blow to Women's Reproductive Rights"!

I hope they're right!!

Great, that sounds like Durbin quoting Springsteen in the hearings: "The Crushing Hand of Fate"

Chafee acknowledged being a cocain user in his youth.

There should be a sign on his office door.

If Teddy was really running in that picture it would have set off an earthquake registering 6.0 on the Richter Scale.

wow! You two are great...thanks for the Hillary limericks!! :-)

There was a woman of ambition
That put herself on a mission
She thought she was God
She married clod
I hope a scant minority eats what she's dishin'

Dear Hitlery, sans a mustache,
Is always out begging for cash,
She says in a snit,
That it's all quite legit,
That really she needs such a stash.

And

The Hildabeast thinks she can crow,
And make liberal whackos all glow,
But many do tire,
Of how she's a liar,
And how she does pander, they know.


LOL

RE Brigette Quinn: I saw her with a Farah Fawcett do the other day. Is that what she has today?

I wonder if they realize what a "crushing blow" partial birth abortion is to a baby's rights.

If Teddy had been really running, after two steps, Mass would be needing a new $inator.

So who were the 42 RAT dwarves who voted again'st Alito? We should inscribe their names on every coming ballot as people to be sure to vote against.
