You are aware that the story Kennedy kept waving in his fat, little fingers was not a racist thing published by CAP, but instead a parady of a racist thing ..... right?

Actually, no, I have no idea what he was waving in his "fat little fingers" (you are reading too much Coulter...consequence - class devolution). But what CAP stood for and was up to, thus Alito's membership, is what is relevant.

Not the eagle part. We know this because John Ashcroft would NOT be singing French stuff.

Alito's memership in an organization decades ago seemed to be an issue. The fact that Kennedy was a dues paying current member of a similar oganization at the time he was denigrating Alito over that issue seems not to be an issue. Why is that?

That whole episode was scripted.

Rove and many others in this administration clearly would stoop to such a presentation. I pray that Alito and his wife would not and I give them the benefit of the doubt here for lack of any evidence to the contrary (his refusal to answer important questions relevant to a seriously important post was morally repugnant, but that is something else). On the other hand, the physical placement of his wife directly in camera would have been scripted/planned, almost certainly.

You think we could find a Supreme Court judge who isn't a liar. How sad.

Here you go much much too far. I have heard most of these justices speak and have read passages from all of them. Breyer, for example, is as sane and balanced and hard-working a civil servant as a nation might hope for in any post. Even though I deeply dislike Scalia's ideas (some of them) I don't think him a liar. Of the whole bunch, the only one I do not trust, in the sense you apparently mean, is Thomas.

Earlier today it was being headlined just about everywhere that the FEMA former head had told the White House about the levee breach in New Orleans. Then there's this in the Washington Post, nobody's idea of a Bush-supporting publication:

Quote:

Michael D. Brown, the embattled former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, testified before a Senate committee today that he told a top White House official on the day Hurricane Katrina struck that "our worst nightmares" had come true in New Orleans.

In an often tense exchange, Brown told the committee that he wasn't exactly sure who he talked to from the White House staff that night, but said it was probably Deputy Chief of Staff Joseph Hagin, who he said was in Crawford, Tex., with President Bush.

Asked if he told the White House staffer specifically that the New Orleans levees had been breached, Brown said he could not recall, but said he informed him that "everything we had planned about, worried about, was coming true." He said that talking to Hagin was like "speaking to the president."

So he doesn't recall who he talked to and he can't remember whether he said specifically that the New Orleans levees had been breached, but it's all President Bush's fault.

Sheesh.

So he's contradicting his sworn testimony under oath? You could get in trouble for that.

The 23rd Qualm

Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want.
He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.
He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.
He restoreth my fears.

He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace
for his ego's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war, I will
find no exit, for thou art in office.

Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort
me. Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the presence
of thy religion.

Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.
My health insurance runneth out.
Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow
me all the days of thy term,

And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement
forever.

No, it's French. Consider it your lesson for the day.

And some additional snippits'

A day after he was pressed about his membership in a club that discriminates against women, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy quit the controversial Owl Club.

News about Kennedy''s membership in the social club, once affiliated with Harvard, was seized on by conservative talk shows and blogs as evidence of...

U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy ?-?- who ripped Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito for ties to a group that discriminates against women ?-?- says he''s going to quit a club notorious for discriminating against women ""as fast as I can.""
http://news.bostonherald.com/localPolitics/view.bg?articleid=121646

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy belongs to a social club for Harvard students and alumni that was evicted from campus nearly 20 years ago after refusing to allow female members.
According to the online membership directory of the Owl Club, the Massachusetts Democrat updated his personal information -- including the address of his home, which is in his wife's name -- on Sept. 7.
The club has long been reviled on campus as "sexist" and "elitist" and, in 1984, was booted from the university for violating federal anti-discrimination laws, authored by Mr. Kennedy.

Mr. Kennedy has spent much of this week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings interrogating Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr. about his ties to the Concerned Alumni of Princeton, a group that had opposed the admission of women in the early 1970s and is now defunct.
Judge Alito's "affiliation with an organization that fought the admission of women into Princeton calls into question his appreciation for the need for full equality in this country," Mr. Kennedy said Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Edward Kennedy, who criticized Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito's past membership in a controversial Princeton University alumni club, severed his ties Tuesday with a former Harvard college social club that bans women members.
"He has decided to be taken off their rolls, believing that it is a mistake to continue to be affiliated," Kennedy spokeswoman Melissa Wagoner said in a statement.

The Massachusetts Democrat, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, grilled Alito during Senate confirmation hearing last week about Alito's ties to the Concerned Alumni of Princeton, an alumni group that opposed the admission of women and minorities at the Ivy League School.
