Alito and Mother Sheehan

We are off to the races or something like that now that Samuel Alito is finally going to show what he is made of. The confirmation hearings that started today were by any standards, pathetic. Each member of the judicial committee got to speak for 10 minutes or so to set the stage for the question and answer period tomorrow. My goodness, these people are several pickles short of a barrel.

Ted Kennedy's performance was like he had just stepped off a train in the wrong station but he didn't know it. Ted was so completely out of the loop that if you didn't know better you would think he was deranged or on drugs. He made no sense. I didn't see him, of course, but I can imagine his chubby face and red nose bent over the dais, while his jaw moving in perfect time to each yank of the string from the puppet masters hand. Disgusting!

Schumer and Feinstein weren't any better. Old and worn tirades of racism and sexism in his past decisions, which, even on the face of it, are false, but that's in the play book, so they have to run with they have. You can never fault the Democrats for being too original.

I don't know if Reid and Durbin got their shots in today, but I'm sure if they did, their ten minutes before the cameras was much the same as all the other proclaimed 'do-gooders' that are so concerned about everyone's civil liberties being lost if Alito is confirmed. In reality, they are the ones that want to be able to steal your liberties for themselves in the future.

The questioning will start tomorrow which will prove to be stellar performances by the babbling buffoons on the judicial committee. Alito will, I'm sure, make them out to be the simpletons that we always knew they are.

In a different venue, did you hear about 'mother Sheehan's' frolic in beautiful Hawaii? The press on the main land was all-atither because, in her most serious and stressed voice, I'm presuming here as I didn't read her speech but from passed showings, she probably proclaimed the President was at fault for everything that has gone wrong with the war and, of course, the death of her son, but still he died for no good reason. We are losing the war and all the troops have to come home, now! We have to lose the war to cleanse our souls.

In reality, her son volunteered to go and then, I believe, he volunteered for a second stint in Iraq, which was fatal. From all the evidence that the army released about his service, he was fine soldier and he deserves better press for his services to the country then is his getting from his mother.

The actual rally was held in a meeting hall that, according to reporters, was attended by 750 people. Again, in reality, at best there were 200 crammed in this small room. Someone took pictures and put them on the internet.

The whole travesty was arranged by Carolyn Hadfield and the Communist Revolutionary Party. Is this what the Democrats are coming to, or has Cindy decided the Democrats are just not up to her speed anymore? Maybe Cindy was confused. Maybe she thought the Communist party was who she has been dealing with all along.

The real sad part in this whole nightmare is the legacy Cindy Sheehan will leave for her son. A man that served his country with distinction and died for a belief in freedom and democracy.

When future generations talk about the Sheehan's, the true meaning of his death will be completely lost in the bright lights that his mother stood in, before the whole world, for her fifteen minutes of fame, while she sold her very soul to the devil.
