Sotomayor Made It

Sonia Sotomayor made it through the committee, but no thanks to the weasel Republicans. Only Lindsay Graham, himself a well-known weasel, voted for her. But he thoroughly and completely "understood" why the other Republicans would not support her.

Yeah, I "understand" why the other Republicans would not support her too. Partisan politics. And because they're weasels.

It's really funny how when the nominee happens to come from a President from the opposite party that they're automatically so negative. They don't even pretend to be open minded. They are transparently ... weasels.

Hearings Interrupted By Protesters

Why is this? How do these people always get tickets to get in? Can anyone just show up and get in regardless of anything?

Always, always the hearings are interrupted by protesters. It's like something they should just schedule. "Now for the five minutes, we're giving the floor to the inevitable protesters." Come on.

It should always be considered a bad sign if someone has on three or four shirts. Or you can look down and see a sign hanging out one of these shirts. Or the butt on their pants seems unnaturally flat.

I'm all for robust debate and protest. But really not for this kind of sneaky business, just jumping up in the middle of a hearing and yelling. Have a little decency.

Take names. Maybe those individuals don't come in next time.

Sotomayor's Ankle

Someone told me that future Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor broke her ankle. What? Just what we need, more ammo for the Republican scurves, now that she's accident prone. God forbid she was having her period when this happened or Limbaugh will blow a fuse. Which might be good, now that I think of it.

What if this is her Achilles' heel? It's in the same vicinity.

Or maybe she's going for the sympathy vote. Or maybe a Republican tripped her or put a banana peel in her path. Those guys would do that.
