1. Ha! He might as well have.

Edited on Mon May-10-10 01:48 PM by Richardo I'm beginning to think there's no one in the world that would pass the GD liberal-purity test.

3. The purity charge is projection far more often than not.

The Left has compromised in every single election (I sure as fuck know I have). What did the centrists compromise in voting for a centrist? :shrug: It's usually the ones shouting "purity" that seem to need it the most.

15. Safe, boring and inexperienced...

...I always used to think that a nomination to the SCOTUS was supposed to be the crowning achievement of a lifetime of service, after showing yourself to have a keen, legal mind. Not simply, "well, she won't get filibustered."

23. Yeah, I'm sure that was the entire calculus.

Instead of much preferred "Let's nominate someone who will satisfy DU."

2. Nah. Go there, go to GD.

Jab them through the bars with pointy sticks, then laugh when they roar. That's been my strategy today.

6. Yes, go there.

Bring sanity with you, for it is in short supply where political discussion reigns. Bring perspective with you also, for it is even more scarce than sanity.

12. Hey now,

I'm very fond of that lovely little Icelander. The swan dress, obviously a little bit outside the mainstream, but under it she's pretty cute.

18. I would take her seriously in that outfit.

. Seriously. . . Again and again and again. . . . Now look what you've done. . . . Ah do believe ah have the vapors. . . . Ah swan Ah do. . . . . I believe I've also come up with a verb form of a brand new word/acronym: "scotus". . . . . Don't ask. The only thing I will say is that it's an active verb. . . . . Very. . Very. . Active. .

11. I think they could raise the body of Thurgood Marshall himself and nominate him to the SCOTUS

and GD would still not be happy!

19. The glory days of the primaries have returned

Uproar, mayhem, blood, frogs, teenagers on the front lawn, brothers-in-law crashing on the couch, tax audits, the end of western civilization as we know it and it's all Obama's fault. :popcorn:
