From Huffington Post--WH muzzling Alito's son....
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/max-blumenthal/did-the-white-house-kidna_b_9918.html

...can't tell if the kid is trying to be funny, or just learning right-wing smear tricks at an early age.

--snip--


The White House is really battening down its hatches in advance of what will surely be an ugly nomination battle. Even Alito's sardonic son has been reined in.

This morning, Colgate University student Phil Alito's bio was scrubbed from the editors' page of the school's student newspaper, The Forum. It may be that the White House worried his comments about Gary Condit, Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer wouldn't reflect well on his Christian right-vetted dad.

From young Alito's former bio:
...I was born 9 months and 2 weeks later by a midwife/wolf named Janie Jean, who would prove very influential during my formative years. Shortly after, I became interested in politics and got involved with Gary Condit (not like that). I served as a parking aide to Nancy Pelosi (I won't even start on her) but was fired when Barbara Boxer came onto me.

Sounds like the stuff of a future Republican presidential nominee.

6. "Chicken Noodle Soup"- remember that one?
Someone got on whitehouse.gov and changed his name. Actually stayed up for a brief while.
Probably someone that "knew" him.

11. Here's the whole 'bio' - from the link above:
Editor - Phil Alito
First, God made the heavens and earth. Then came Arby's, followed shortly by Carl Jr. and other inferior brands of fast food. Fast foward. Homer's epics, Texas was created, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier, died at the Alamo, King Kong attacked Manhattan, and then, in a completely reactionary move, I was concieved. I was born 9 months and 2 weeks later by a midwife/wolf named Janie Jean, who would prove very influential during my formative years. Shortly after, I became interested in politics and got involved with Gary Condit (not like that). I served as a parking aide to Nancy Pelosi (I won't even start on her) but was fired when Barbara Boxer came onto me. Eventually, I decided that my teeth needed to be cleaned, so I came to Colgate with a band of gypsies (who I have declared war on and will one day destroy). I decided to join "The Forum" to make friends but obviously that hasn't worked out. So, soon I will probably find a cow at a nearby farm and ride my way to glory in either LA or at the Calgary Rodeos.
