Whoda thunk it: A party line vote

Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather, no easy task considering my considerable girth theses days. Imagine my surprise when I clicked onto the digital version of the Washington Times this morning and learned that Sam Alito was passed out of committee yesterday on a party line vote.

No, wait, Lex predicted the whole thing in the 11 January post. How can that be? If the Democrat playbook is so old, tired, transparent and predictable that a dope like Lex can figure it out, what kind of insight do you think a pro like Karl Rove has?

So Sam Alito and family went through the motions. They managed, for the most part, to sit quietly while people far less qualified, honorable, smart, or decent tried to drag them through the mud. Now after hours of…what…crap I guess is as good a word as any, we get the expected party line vote. What a colossal waste of time and taxpayer money. The DNC ought to be forced to reimburse the treasury for the cost of the hearings and what sounded like a non-stop infomercial fund raiser for the moonbat wing of the Democrat Party – which sadly seems to include everyone who opens his/her mouth in front of a camera these days.

Lex, Lex, what will happen next, my legion of loyal readers ask. Well, Democrats will lose red state senators and muster 40 votes against Alito. Magically, one vote short of the 41 scrawny Harry Reid needs to sustain a filibuster. This will allow the scrawny one to lament that he didn’t have the votes for a filibuster to stop Alito, thereby soothing the moonbat base.

Bony Harry Reid’s threat of a filibuster is a BB gun. The Republicans have a howitzer and all they are waiting for is a reason to point it at scrawny Harry and blow him away. Harry can pull his BB gun one time, and knows what will happen if he does. Scared Harry will bluster, “You better not do that. I have a BB gun.” Republicans will say, “Go ahead, make my day.” Harry’s BB gun will remain holstered.
