Clarence Thomas's wife sat behind him in the hearings and cried too.

Do you remember?

Something out of the Republican playbook?

1. Thank you! Yes, it's a go-to move for the wingers.

Forget the lives of 300,000,000 Americans.

Forget the blacks and women he stepped on to claim "majority" instead of "minority" status for himself.

Forget the 10 year girl and all the other Amricans who suffered from a government that knows no limits.

No, those don't matter because MRS. ALITO CRIED!!

[Cronus Protagonist]

3. Did she have hemorrhoids as well?

[Neil Lisst]

6. Hey that's cute!! And accurate!

She's definitely a pain in the ass!

4. Nice 'toon.

[Neil Lisst]

7. Thanks Oasis. I felt like someone needed to say it.

God knows the talking heads haven't.

If only George Wallace had thought to have Mrs. Wallace stand behind him crying when he was being such a racist.

2. Some staffer should label it the "sob seat" and leave a box

of kleenex on it next time. Wingnut wives are a pathetic (weep weep) lot.

5. When all else fails

that way the media will be more about the "crying" than their record and what they are saying. And go back and listen to what Graham says. He mentions the Abramoff deal and Alito ignoring it.

8. It's common knowledge that cons have dysfunctional, unstable wives!

[Vinca]

9. Somewhere I heard she has migraines and the tears were

from pain, not sorrow. Who knows? It resembled a well choreographed display.
