"Fair and dignified" process -- IF you're a CONservative. Otherwise....
The Senator GOP goofballs were pledging a "dignified process" and an "up or down" vote on Alito.

These were the same people that were happy to deny Meiers both a dignified process and even hearings simply because they didn;t think she was enough of a rigid conservative.

Sheer utter hypocricy. Let's hope those with the microphone point out the emptiness of their phony psuedo "dignified" posturing.

1. It's amazing , isn't it?
These are also the same people who spout about 'no underlying crime' in the Libby case but perfectly willing to impeach Clinton on the same charges without an underlying crime.

2. Listening to those unctious bastids makes my skin crawl
Mitch McConnell is like nails on a chalkboard when he demands a "dignified" process.

3. Sitting quietly while neocons bludgeon our Constitution...
...is not frickin "dignified".

Fighting like hell for our principles and standing up for what is right--is "dignified."

On the other hand---falling off your bike several times a month, is not "dignified". Neither is wrecking your entire face because of a pretzel. Botching the English language every time you give a speech won't win you any medals for "dignification". Running a lie-based war that cost 2 billion per week--not so much in the dignified department. Writing a note to the Secretary of State, announcing that you need to tinkle--won't get you a medal for "dignity." Declaring that a blind, brain-damaged woman can 'follow a balloon with her eyes' won't win you any "dignity" trophies. Illegally laundering campaign funds--nope, no dignity there. And lastly, nominating your bestist buddies to critical, high-level government positions--wouldn't be described as "dignified."

If the pResident and his Senatorial clowns want to talk "dignity" maybe they should start by behaving in a dignified way--just once.
