Ha Ha Ha! Judge Alito's Family Poses with a Portrait ---pix>>>

[Stephanie]

Did Karl take a mental health day today? I can't imagine how they allowed this to happen.




The family of Judge Samuel Alito, daughter Laura (L), son Philip (C) and wife Martha (R), stand underneath a portrait of former president Bill Clinton as they watch President Bush nominate Alito to the Supreme Court in the White House, October 31, 2005. (Mannie Garcia/Reuters)

[seabeyond]

4. the artist so played with clinton picture

for whatever reason. talk about childish. the whole repug group, kids

[Lerkfish]

7. in what way? IIRC, each president chooses their own portrait.

[Maraya1969]

8. Are you talking just about the painting of Clinton? I don't see the

problem.

[flowomo]

12. what are you talking about?

that's the official Clinton-chosen portrait so far as I know.

[Pepper32]

18. Huh? What's wrong with it?

:shrug:

[seabeyond]

20. oh gosh, i look in those eyes and i see the very worst of clinton

i dont think it is a good picture or reflective of the man. but..... obviously i see something others do not. that is cool to know. thank you for your posts

[Maraya1969]

5. I had to go to Yahoo to make sure it wasn't photo shopped!

If you are one of those people that believe nothing happens by accident: What does this mean?

[FSogol]

6. It means their meme is: Scalito is a moderate. n/t

[paparush]

9. OMFG!! That's too funny...and...

they are standing left of center!!! Woo HOO!!

[Ian David]

14. No, they are standing to Clinton's right. n/t

[unrepuke]

15. Oh, yeah! His other right.

;-)

[flowomo]

10. oboy... bad stage management!

n/t

[Chi-Town Exile]

11. That is hilarious!

Is it just me or does Scalito's daughter have a Jenna thing going there?

[crispini]

13. Hahahahahaha!

That's funny.

[adigal]

16. I'm sure he loves his uteruses -

you know, his wife the uterus and his daughter the uterus.

And the Clinton thing - priceless!!!!!!!!

[Pepper32]

17. ROFL... HAHAHAHA

Dummies!!!

:rofl: :rofl:

[zbdent]

19. Smirks a-plenty . . .

[OneTwentyoNine]

21. Ehh...KKkarl has a few other things on his mind,like survival....n/t

[VolcanoJen]

22. BA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:rofl: :rofl:

[egadsbrain]

23. Is the son a rebel?

Somehow he looks like he's in on the joke!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LibertyLover]

24. What is it with smirks

and this administration? Don't the people in it know any other expression? Someone needs to tell Mrs. Judge Alito that a smirk is neither becoming or proper.

[SharonRB]

26. Isn't it ironic?

:rofl:

It's as ironic as his nomination is moronic (or moranic).

[babsbunny]

27. I guess I don't get it

why are they in front of a portrait of Clinton??????????

[SharonRB]

28. I think that's just where they wound up standing

But the fact that there's a picture of them standing there is very ironic.

[europegirl4jfk]

29. Apart from the Clinton portrait joke...

you know what? You may think I'm weird but for me they are actually looking like a nice normal family. I could imagine my daughter going out with this good looking boy or be friend with the girl. Of course, I could be totally wrong about these people. You can't watch inside their heads and hearts but I think they look much more normal than John Robert's family or other right wing people you see on TV.

[Zynx]

31. They do look like a normal, conservative family.

[Iris]

33. yep. Wife's got the pinched up face and everything.

I'm sorry, but they very idea that this man's family will have their lives go on as usual while poor women and minorities are in danger of being raked over the coals as we're dragged back decades in history just makes me sick. I'd be horrified if my daughter dated this man's son.

[europegirl4jfk]

35. Maybe it's just that I don't "get" this American conservatism

We have conservative people here in Europe (I'm German and live in France) too and I'm not a big friend of their life style but it's just not as ideological as it is in the US. I mean our French right-wing government would never be against abortion or mix religion and politics. That's just something very difficult for us Europeans to understand.

[Iris]

37. here, conservatism has been turned into "religious conservativism"

Even regular conservatism irks me - being against change, progress because it upsets your little world (or seems to) - not very smart in this day and age.

[europegirl4jfk]

38. I don't like conservatism either

But I really would like to understand this obsession with religion in the USA. Here it's something totally private, that never affects your professional life and is rarely even discussed with people outside your own family.

[SharonRB]

45. As it should be

Once again, the Europeans have it right.

[Iris]

47. so would I. So would I.

It's become huge here. There are many reasons this could be true. I can't even begin to list them here.

I have some friends in Europe and I love the way they are just baffled by the religious stuff here!

[Stephanie]

49. Do some research into "evangelicals"

They won't rest until they've converted all of us, or the Rapture comes.

[Iris]

34. self-delete - dupe

I'm sorry, but they very idea that this man's family will have their lives go on as usual while poor women and minorities are in danger of being raked over the coals as we're dragged back decades in history just makes me sick. I'd be horrified if my daughter dated this man's son.

[Alcibiades]

41. Not that it matters

but I don't think they boy's all that good looking. Maybe it's the expression on his face, perhaps it's the bad haircut, but I think he looks like what we here in the USA call a "dork."

The daughter, on the other hand, is pretty.

That being said, yeah, they do look fairly normal.

[SharonRB]

46. I agree.

The daughter is very cute, the son -- not so much. The wife -- not so much either, but they do all look pretty normal.

[Iris]

48. I disagree.

I think the son is ok and the daughter is ugly - no lips.

[spanone]

Nobody's looking at the camera. Except Bill.....hilarious

[astonamous]

30. Looks like the White house photographers have a sense

of humor. That's funny especially knowing Alito's position regarding women.

It also looks like the daughter gets the joke.

[Straight Shooter]

32. Jenna's twin. But at least they are all tastefully dressed, look normal.

Sorry, Alito, you've still got to go-go, but your family looks very nice. No Stepford looks there.

Laura, get a clue and have a sit-down talk with Ms. Alito about nice clothes. And, Jenna, take a real good look. You don't have to show 5 yards of cleavage in order to be attractive.

[FreedomAngel82]

36. Strange

What's up with the mother and son's eyes? :crazy:

[stevedeshazer]

39. Sweet! Thanks, good one

:)

[Deb]

40. oh dear, I can't stop laughing

you've got me in tears with this one! :rofl: Thanks

[knitter4democracy]

42. When I was at the White House in '98

for the Christmas Tree (I had an ornament on it), the thing that cracked me up the most was that Bush I's portrait was behind a tree behind a door. You really had to look for it. I thought it was pretty cool--it wasn't like their campaign was nice or anything.

I'm suprised that Clinton's isn't hiding behind something, too.

[Vektor]

43. That's funny! Is it me, or do they all look a little kooky?

Kind of a googly-eyed bunch!:crazy:

[Cha]

44. "A mental health day?"..Brawaahahahah!

Standing under.. THE GOOD OL' DAYS!
