John Ensign’s turn! “Throughout the confirmation process, I will work with my colleagues and thoroughly review Judge Sotomayor’s record to make sure she has the right intellect and understands the proper role of a judge — to interpret and apply the written law, not to decide cases based on personal feelings, politics or preferences.” <Washington Independent>

Commenter and amateur vetter “SwanSwanH” makes this shocking discovery on that other thread about how John Ensign considers it his Constitutional duty to probe Sonia Sotomayor for any symptoms of Idiot Cancer. It appears that less than two weeks ago, Sen. Ensign twatted that “Night At The Museum 2″ was “better than the first one,” a declaration wrought with symptoms of Idiot Cancer. <Twitter>

3. I thought stupid was one of their family values.

They certainly value it in their presidential candidates.

4. Is John Ensign smarter than a third-grader?
How about a can of tuna?

Box of hammers?

Sack of doorknobs?

Doubt it.

6. Where's his Phi Beta Kappa key????
Ms. Sotomayor has a Phi Beta Kappa key from Princeton.
Besides the fact that she was the head of the Yale Law Review.

All my life people have told me how smart I was. It was about the only thing I got praise and approval for. My IQ is 3 standard deviations and change above average. (BFD) But I couldn't make good enough grades to make Phi Beta Kappa.

7. BWAHAHAAAA!!!! You and what intellect, John?
Edited on Wed May-27-09 12:40 AM by BlooInBloo
"Ensign went to UNLV, becoming a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, Oregon State University, and Colorado State University, becoming a veterinarian in 1985. He then became a successful businessman, opening a 24-hour animal hospital in Las Vegas."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ensign

There are few things funnier than idiots judging the intellects of smart people.

8. Judge Sotomayor has been a judge longer than Se. Ensign has been in Congress
She has a law degree, was a prosecuting and a defense attorney, and has been a judge since 1991.

Ensign was a veterinarian, a Representative and a Senator.

Just how the hell does Ensign think he knows enough about the judicial process to even determine what kind of job Judge Sotomayor has done?

How would he feel if she stepped into his veterinary clinic and started critiquing how he treated animals?

Can he define hubris or even chutzpah?
