WashPost's Milbank Compares Gorsuch to Eddie Haskell

Gosh, Senator Cleaver, your questions are so insightful and interesting that I wish this confirmation hearing could go on forever!

Unless a nominee is a complete idiot, he (or she) will be incredibly polite during his confirmation hearings in the U.S. Senate. It is hardly the place to display a Fonzi (Happy Days) attitude. However, Dana Milbank in the March 21 Washington Post suggests that the politeness demonstrated by Neil Gorsuch during his confirmation hearing for Supreme Court justice could be insincere thus making him a judicial version of Eddie Haskell from Leave It to Beaver. If you are one of the small handful of people still unaware of Eddie Haskell, he was the young character who displayed insincere polite flattery towards adults to cover up his true smart aleck attitude.

Oh, good afternoon, Senator Feinstein. I was just telling Orrin how pleasant it would be for Sheldon to accompany us to the movies.

wish I could think of where I recently saw someone else being compared to Eddie Haskell

Let’s think...Eddie Haskell liked Beaver. Anyone pop to mind?

Fred Rutherford: “Ward old man, I see my boy Clarence finished ahead of your lad on their last history test!” Ward Cleaver: “Well Fred, there is a first time for everything!”

Eddie Haskell! Hilarious! I was comparing him to a bad televangelist. Eddie Haskell is sort-of perfect.

Can anyone name two people, anywhere, that care about what Dana Milbank thinks about anything?

Milbank will still be a puissant leftist.

Isn't there extraneous 'u' in that penultimate word?

It’s getting embarrassing how slimy the liberals in the news media are. Slivering around just like snakes.

Dana is not a girls name-—it can be both.

Suppose it can. But in Milbank's case, it's a girl's name.

Oh, yes. Fast Eddy in the The Hustler with Jackie Gleason playing Minnesota Fats! What a great film it is!

I watch a Leave to Beaver every night.
Yep, lots of valuable life lessons and non- PC hilarity event every 15 seconds. (And June Cleaver is so smoking hot!)
Eddie is the most realistic believable character in the show.

This is complimentary to Gorsuch.

That’s really getting to the issues there, Dana. There’s a reason that no one takes you seriously.
