You Can't Fix Stupid. :banghead:

5. Furthermore, who cares what Blitzer thinks!
I have seen more of their "analysis" than I have of the actual hearings today. :grr: :grr:

6. Looks and sounds like ...
Strother Martin, who played the Warden in Coool Hand Luke...

"What we hayav heah is... a failya to communicate."

Sessions is weaselier little fuck than Martin played in the movie, and just as mean-spirited.

22. Who's to say Sessions isn't "sweet" deep inside?...
...If you've ever lived in the Deep South, you've encountered a lot of married men whose stereotypical drawling "genteel" manner seems to hint at something else. After all this time around it, seersucker and bowties seem to speak of something sweeter than the tea and the clothes aren't all there is in the closet. In a place as consumed with society, gossip, appearances and conformity as the Old South, it's not unusual. It goes a long ways toward explaining the homophobia.

Gibson doesn't act like Sessions, but I think there is a physical resemblance.

7. Just proof the pro-right spin that goes on on cable "news" shows...
This is no surprise to Blitzer.

It's not surprise to anyone that has even an elementary understanding national politics.

Sessions WILL NOT vote to confirm Sotomayor, nor will he vote to confirm any of President Obama's future nominees.

Unfortunately, this type of faux hand-wringing can influence low-info voters, but the bright side is most of them aren't plastered to their TVs during judicial hearings in July.

12. Exactly.
Sessions is a dyed-in-the-wool GOP d*ckhead who will vote that water is dry if Obama says the opposite. Furthermore, he is and always has been a racist turd. This is not "news."

9. She frazzled him today with her come back about a conference she attended.
He tried to portray it as something sinister - with "activist" intent, of course. She was right back that it was a "listen to the community" type thing in very broad terms and had nothing to do with any specific rulings already made or any pending cases before the court. He got red in the face and his time was up...

10. I wonder what little, ahem "conferences" a guy like Sessions may have attended...
... over the last 40 or 50 years? Hmmm.

11. Who gives a fuck if Sessions doesn't vote for her? Really?
Edited on Wed Jul-15-09 03:45 PM by DinahMoeHum
The numbers just aren't on his side.

She's going to be confirmed. Big time.

13. CNN obviously gives a fuck. They are trying to raise the bar to 100 senators...
... at least from the public opinion viewpoint.

23. Little does anyone realize the fact that
the esteemed Senator is actually living a double life!

As a moderately successful character/method actor.
