Biill Buckley and Bill Safire, at least you two were familiar with the English language. Alas, your progeny are not similarly educated.
In "Tears to Your Eyes: Joe Biden chortles while Alito's wife weeps," the blogger at SoxBlog writes:
The Democratic base is inflamed like a New Mexican mouse, ... A what?
I shouldn’t glance over the fact that Mrs. Alito’s dash from the hearing room was truly a poignant moment in our political history ... [E]ntering the Supreme Court-level of public service means you have to endure the crude efforts of men like Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden to humiliate you, distort your background, and ruin your reputation and your life. It’s a bit like throwing the Christians to the lions, except the lions say “aaah,” “puzzled,” and “extreme” a lot. Actually, I shouldn’t make light of it. Spectacles like yesterday’s are an obscenity. The next comes from "Bloviation Central, Part II," at the California Conservative blog:
[T]he AQ Bill of Rights that’s now the (unneeded) law of the land shouldn’t have been written with AQ in mind. It should’ve been aimed at Judiciary Committee Democrats, who tortured Alito, and the American people who watched, mercilessly. ... I wish Sen. Specter had interrupted them more and asked if they intended to ask questions or just aimlessly meander through the stupor that they were in. Then there's "The Crying Game: Kossacks Go After Mrs. Alito," from Ace of Spades HQ blog:
Ted Kennedy Ain't No Saint Update: So, not belonging to a group that opposed quotas for women and minorities is supposed to disqualify Alito for the court? (sic) On a brighter note -- and with my hopes that it's not too late -- I just learned that former Vice President Al Gore "will deliver a scathing speech Monday at Constitution Hall in Washington -- just blocks from the White House -- at which he will declare America is faced with a constitutional crisis." (Raw Story) ... more below...
“We are at a point of constitutional crisis," the aide said, relating how Gore has articulated his speech. "The president who has violated the law is acting above the law. It’s a wakeup call for Congress, the American people and the courts. If we continue down this road we will have a different constitution.
