Just In: Senate Judiciary Panel Recommends Alito For Confirmation

Along party lines, 10-8.

Democrats are talking up a floor fight over the nomination, but Lindsey Graham, at least, seems in a feisty frame of mind:

Republicans on the committee accused Democrats of falsely portraying Alito as an extremist and of politicizing the nomination process in preparation for the next election. If this is what the Democrats want in the future, said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), "We'll clean their clock."

I give his statement a solid B+.

Related-- SCANDAL!!!! Justice Scalia dared to play tennis at a junket sponsored by the Federalist Society even as now-Chief Justice Roberts was being sworn in.

It's... it's... horrible! I'm not sure exactly how it's horrible, but I just know that it is!

IMPEACH BUSH!

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.

I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.

Warner was in Costa Rica on a family vacation and drowned while swimming near Cocles after allegedly being caught by a high current on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred between 2 and 2:30 p.m. local time.
Costa Rican National Police told The Post that Warner was pulled from the water by people in the area and taken to shore, where the Costa Rica Red Cross tried to revive him but were unsuccessful in their efforts.
His body was taken to the morgue at San Joaquin de Flores for an autopsy. The cause of death is listed as asphyxiation by "submersion."
