#1 Good for Sen. Poopy-Pants to stand up to that bellowing old fool from Mass.

#2 tainting with innuendo, lies, personal smears. Joe McCarthy would feel at home in current the Dem party, especially if he'd killed a girl, cheated in college and was kicked out and was a habitual drunk...oh, wait...

#3 "In an era when America is still too divided by race and by riches, Judge Alito has not written one single opinion on the merits in favor of a person of color alleging race discrimination on the job: in 15 years on the bench, not one."
quote from Mr. Kennedy. He seems to be saying that a judge should not rule on the law, but on the "merits" of a particular person's position based on skin color. He seems to be in favor of racial quotas in judicial decisions. I think hes' gone off his trolley.

#4 What a proud day it must be for Democrats. The Huckster from Massachusetts was able to insinuate a Pointy-Hat connection to the Supreme Court nominee and induce Irritative Jowl-Syndrome with Chairman Spector all in one adolescent exchange. Never mind Alito sufficiently and predictably disavowed improper quotes attributed to another person; Teddy scored a perfect ten on the Drama scale. After all, isnât perception what really counts with Democrats? The pundits on the nightly news probably wonât delve too in-depth into the mundane aspects of Judicial vs. Legislative powers. But you can bet your ass this heated exchange will be discussed ad nausea thus insuring even the casual observer will hear about âCAPâ.

#5 Irritative Jowl-Syndrome. Heh. Ol' Ted just needs to have a couple of drinks and maybe go for a nice, soothing swim.

#6 I liked what one of the powerline guy's said about Sen Schumer ....his sneering, bullying tactics reminded him of (the actor playing) Sen. McCarthy.
