Republican Pussy-ass Crybabies
Posted by Jill | 6:48 AM

Was Air America the ONLY place last night to hear that when Strip Search Sammy the Stem Cell Alito's domestic slave -- I mean, wife -- left the hearing room in tears yesterday, it was because of something LINDSEY GRAHAM (R) said in PRAISE of her husband, not because of those mean old Democrats?

Here is why John Cole is a conservative I can do business with:


This headline is pretty hacktacular even for Drudge:

The headline states:


“ALITO WIFE LEAVES HEARING IN TEARS AFTER DEM ATTACK” and links to this Drudge write-up:


Judge Samuel A. Alito’s wife Martha left the confirmation hearing room in tears this evening, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.


Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) apologized to the Judge’s family for the behavior of his fellow committee members during the course of the last three days.


Sen. Graham said: “Judge Alito, I am sorry that you’ve had to go through this. I am sorry that your family has had to sit here and listen to this.”


Democrats on the Judiciary Committee have attacked Judge Samuel A. Alito over his membership in Concerned Alumni of Princeton and his involvement in the Vanguard case.


One senior Republican in the hearing room said of the situation: “After three full days of attacks against her husband’s character, Mrs. Alito had enough. Democrat behavior during this hearing has not only been wrong, it’s been embarrassing. Ted Kennedy is nothing but a bully.”


I don’t like Kennedy. At all. I think Schumer is a grandstanding fool and a pompous ass. I think Patrick Leahy is as partisan as they get, and not to be trusted. But only the most patently dishonest person on the planet would claim that Mrs. Alito left after a Democratic attack. She left after REPUBLICAN Sen. Lindsey Graham was basically praising Alito, defending him and reciting some of the things that have been said about Alito.


But it was not a withering attack from Democrats which unsettled Mrs. Alito. Not at all.


I am so sick and tired of everyone just lying about every-damned-thing.


*** Update ***


Yes, I understand that the events of the day may have finally taken their toll on Mrs. Alito. But she did not break down after a withering attack- she started crying during Sen. Graham’s defense of her husband. Drudge is simply lying.


And that Drudge picture of Feinstein is, to my recollection, out of place. Feinstein, to my knowledge, never raised her voice, was the model of politeness, and even praised Alito for his equanimity. Did she ask some feisty questions? Yes. Did she ask (IMHO) some dumb questions? yes. But she was never vicious or mean that I remember. I did not see all of the testimony, but from what I did see, she was perfectly well-behaved.




You know, for a bunch of guys who love to talk tought and love bellicosities, Republicans and conservatives sure are a bunch of crybabies. Criticize Bush? You're being "mean." Question Sam Alito's membership in a group that was trying to get women, blacks, and Latinos out of Princeton? "Partisan." Disagree with anything they say? You're just a big old meanie.

Like most bullies and faux tough guys, below the surface of a "fighting Republican" is a complete weak-assed wuss.
