Watching Chuck Schumer try to explain how Sam Alito can be considered “well qualified” by the ABA, a mark Schumer here-to-fore referred to as the “gold standard”, and in the same breath say Alito’s out of the mainstream, is pretty amusing. But that is not nearly as amusing as hearing him and other Dems, Feinstein, Kennedy, Leahy etc. lambaste Alito as out of the mainstream, no friend to women and minorities, hostile to labor and then say that they haven’t made up their mind yet about Alito serving on the Supreme Court.
Sort of like, “Well, we all know that Sam Alito would have women seeking back alley abortions. He’d be happy to see blacks returned to the back of the bus or worse the plantation. He supports big business more than Sam Walton, Henry Ford and Phil Connor (the foreman in Packingtown from Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle) combined. But I don’t know how I’m going to vote.” Hmm, if you really believe all that, but you say you don’t know how you’re going to vote, you’re an idiot or a liar.
The hearings should be even more amusing as Joe, the plagiarizer, Biden and Teddy, but I’ve only drown one woman in the backseat of my car, Kennedy quiz Alito on ethics and integrity. The funniest part is that they don’t even see the irony. Also sure to be amusing is the fact that Alito, by a rather large margin, will be the smartest guy in the room. When it’s Biden and Kennedy’s turn ask questions, look for long pointless speeches and few questions. If they do have the guts to ask questions, it’s going to have all of the drama and comedy value of the dopey Vinnie Barbarino asking Mr. Kotter, “Why ain’t phone spelled with no f?”
It’d be all down hill from there.
Alito: Well Mr. Biden the word phone is spelled without an “f”.
Biden: Huh, I know’d dat. The questions I’m axing is why ain’t it spelled with no f-in “f”.
Alito: Well, yes of course. You’ve used a double negative, which might be interpreted as a positive. Such as, “Why isn’t the word phone spelled without an f?” The answer to which is, phone is spelled without an F.
Biden: You’re just showin off now. Look, the word phone don’t have no “f”. How come? Isn’t this just a sleazy Republican trick to confuse poor blacks, labor guys and women?
Alito: Ahh yes. Well I believe it goes back to second grade phonics...
Biden interrupts: Look judge you just said phonics. That starts with an “f”, right? Now all I’m axing is, why don’t phone start with no “f”?
Biden’s time will expire and he’ll claim Alito never answered his question.
