We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

After listening to the Tedster grill the nominee over whether he recalls random sentence fragments from twenty year old articles, (explanation here) I can hardly wait for Sunday's WaPo when Senator Kennedy (or more accurately, one of his junior staffers) will undoubtedly put out a translated version of the hearings so we can finally learn what the nominee really meant: Never apologize for your past, my friend. Never apologize. It’s a sign of weakness. Which I despise. Yeah, I was a member of Concerned Alumni for Princeton.

I've been waiting for months for some reason to dust it off and use it for something - isn't it GREAT? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38645 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38645 Fri, 13 Jan 2006 18:15:42 -0600 I see you've been corrupted by my fellow Coral-Gablesian and Smartass, Steve H.

Of course, that pile of metal in the basement probably puts an extra check by her name. Goes under the heading *probable rightwing militia*; refer to Reno Law 1 when approaching suspect's house. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38539 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38539 Thu, 12 Jan 2006 18:25:58 -0600 You go, grrrrll :) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38532 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38532 Thu, 12 Jan 2006 17:36:32 -0600 Um, dear, *please* don't make threats of violence like that against powerful politicos in public.

And then, I would have found an ice pick and thrown it across the room and into the tiny little brain of Ted (Splash) Kennedy. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38522 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38522 Thu, 12 Jan 2006 16:55:26 -0600 jim b uses brown out on the V29 comment and corrects it to read, guys who slams husbands. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38467 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38467 Thu, 12 Jan 2006 14:18:33 -0600 Not sure if I should take umbrage at my obviously feeble attempt at humor, sending me to the ranks of the fairer sex. :-)Dare I say I would make a poor addition to their ranks, considering that while shaving, my face has cracked many an undeserving mirror! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38466 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38466 Thu, 12 Jan 2006 14:18:12 -0600 I think Vulture Two-Niner is going to be *very* surprised to find he's missing his twig and berries.

When he told A-L-I-T-O that maybe he ought to live in the real world, I almost fell off the couch. I'm not a lawyer but I do believe that judges make rulings based on the plaintiff and defendants making their cases. i.e. he can't help one side or another by "talking to his wife". Isn't there some kind of requirement to be at least slightly familiar with the legal system to sit on that committee? Oh..never mind...what was I thinking... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38425 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38425 Thu, 12 Jan 2006 11:20:58 -0600 Look at it this way: Ted Kennedy, Biden, et al are the equivalent of those patio heaters they have all California....OMFG!!!!

Do you know how many times the hubby has corrected me?? "Hon...it's Alito." "^&*^* that Cassandra..it's all her fault!!!!" At any rate..I too have been watching and I just can't believe the crap being hurled by desperate Democrats at this guy. Just crap for crap's sake.

If any man had accused me of the vile things that have been thrown at Judge Alito, I dare say I'd be on the lam or in jail, not in court! These hearing have been particularly disgusting. Is there no dignity to be found in D.C anymore? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38402 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/01/scaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiito.html#comment-38402 Thu, 12 Jan 2006 10:15:58 -0600
