I’ve been watching the Alito hearing… It’s basically a bunch of Republicans complimenting him, his family and his past, while glossing over and brushing aside any critique of Alito, followed by a comment about the previous Democrat’s poor tact (How dare you hurt his wife! You made her cry!)

Then a Democrat, chasing Alito through his endless sidesteps, abstract and vague answers and issues with “recollection.” Back and forth.

And the callers to C-SPAN; the obligatory “heez’a best man fur’tha job! ‘merakin peepo’ needz ta lissen ta senaterz talkin’ ’bout his past! Heez an excellunt judge! Them crazy lib’rulz ain’t in touch with tha mainstreem ‘merikins.” … caller from _x_ southern state…

And spacing out with my new Lava Lamp… ohhh yeaaaah.
