George Warrant-less Bush was shocked to learn:

Alito - "Only obligation is 'the rule of law'."

14. I've already been to the principals office...

that's why I changed it... You guys didn't really take it that seriously did you? Come on it IS funny to think that LawBreakin' Bush's pick for the Surpreme Court has the nerve to say that to Congress and expect anyone to take him seriously..

This will be a John Stewart punchline tonight...trust me..

16. Chalk it up to me having an optimistic afternoon and in the midst of

a media blackout. I had no idea what was going on in the hearings yet so I eagerly clicked on your link to find out why Alito was dumped. Once I read the quote it was obvious what was going on. :)

Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 05:08 PM by ddeclue

Dang it...

This guy :evilgrin: was a lot more fun than this guy O8) is..

18. LOL!

I prefer :evilgrin: myself. I think it was just the "BREAKING NEWS" part that was your joke's undoing. Perhaps a "Hearing Bombshell Increases Likelihood of Bush Withdrawal of Alito Nomination" ;)

*shrug* Can't please everyone.

19. I felt that it lost all of the funny if you knew it was a joke before you

went it. I had to get you to get your attention...

John Stewart will do this bit tonight, I almost guarantee it..

2. This statement

"Sam has got the intellect necessary to bring a lot of class to that court," the president said.

10. I don't know. I can be pretty dim, but I got it.

After the initial soaring in my heart based on the headline alone of course. LOL!

13. DUers should be red carded when they misuse BREAKING NEWS.

They should be sent to the penalty box for a time out. While in the box the rest of the members can bombard them with insults and offal.
