Is there something inherently violent or domineering about clock cleaning? How did this phrase get its meaning?

I think a few points should be deducted for ambiguity, btw. Cheney's cock would have said it'd tear off their heads and piss down their necks.

It is a scandal.

WTF is he doing on something as pansy as _tennis_ when he could be on a hunting junket. !?!

Irony: The same democrats who whine that Republicans are a "Culture of Corruption" for accepting donations then voting the way the donors want... just voted party-line against Alito because their biggest donors told them to.

I've got to admire the way Democrats have perfected the technique of casting something in an evil light just by referencing it:

"Judge Alito, I'm sure you're an otherwise decent person, but according to reports, you have on more than one occasion complimented your Mother. Even as an adult, you continue to compliment your Mother. As a nominee for the highest court in the land, how do you justify this behavior?"

My favorite part of this morning's committee meeting? Had to be Dick Durbin's great big crocodile tears about how (and I'm paraphrasing) "this was supposed to be about Harriet Myers, but the right-wingers in the Republican party tore her to shreds," or some such bullshit.

Indeed, I wonder how much money got moved into TK's pocket when Moveon put their words in his mouth?

I'm glad that Graham seems to be a non-wussy GOP in the Senate. Why pretend the other side is playing by polite rules.
