[...]The people of West Viriginia in no uncertain terms were, frankly, appalled by the Alito hearings. I don't want to say it, but I must. They were appalled. In the reams of correspondence that I received during the Alito hearings, West Virginians--the people I represent--West Virignians who wrote to criticize the way in which the hearings were conducted used the same two words. People with no connection to one another. People of different faiths. Different views. Different opinions. [They] independently and respectively used the same two words to describe the hearings. They called them called an outrage and a disgrace.
And these were not form letters ginned up by special interest groups on either the right or the left. These were hand-written, contemplative, old-fashioned letters written on lined paper and personal stationary. They were the sort of letters that people write while watching television in the comfort of their living rooms or sitting at the kitchen table. It is especially telling that many who objected to the way in which the Alito hearings were conducted do not support Judge Alito. In fact, it is sorely apparent that many who opposed Judge Alito's nomination also opposed the seemingly made-for-TV antics that accompanied the hearings ...
He apparently thinks we don't notice.
Foxy - if it takes 9 positives to make up for 1 negative, I think the Democrats are in trouble LOL. Consider what Senator Byrd had to say about the hearings on Alito:

I'm quite sure Byrd plans to vote against Alito's nomination, but at least he has the good common sense to see what John Kerry cannot.
One of the funniest lines I read all week was something along the lines of "Kerry yodelling for filibuster"...from Switzerland of all places

Kerry makes an utter and complete ass of himself along with his mentor the murderer,
Bush Mountain?
Because I don't rely on the talking heads and the DNC to tell me what I think. I have held onto my common sense instead of eating up the party line. I'm just not so lazy that I need to cut and paste, or quote from foolish or venal sources.

Down the plughole is not what I had in mind.
Waiting can seem gloomy. So can looking in vain for any sign of morality, probity, truthtelling or flicker of intelligence in the "leader".

I guess he doesn't remember what happened at the DNC convention last year; Kerry speaks- and receives a negative bounce. His campaign people need to figure out that the more he speaks; the less people like him. Fillibuster, eh, John Kerry? Great strategy.I'm quite sure Byrd plans to vote against Alito's nomination, but at least he has the good common sense to see what John Kerry cannot.
To recap: Bushco foreign policy/ misdeeds
Results
Afghanistan in foment: Britain sending more troops
Iraq in disarray, fundamentalists consolidating grip
Iran in grip of fundamentalists, resuming nuclear research
Palestine voted for Hamas, a militant organisation
Israel more unstable and threatened than ever
Nice one, George
Oh, forgot, American economy stronger.
