1. WHHHHAAAAAHHHH. She needs to go somewhere where somebody

cares.

2. She's back. They powdered her up, said nice job, and sent

her back out smiling.

3. I liked the part where she became even tearier when the repuke

lost his notes.

4. I heard she started crying

when Graham was swooning over him, believe me I saw the whole thing, LG never asked 1 question, total flattery.

5. Cry me a river, lady.

Wonder how she'd handle trying to live on a gov't check, and having her gas shut off, like my neighbor Sherry.

6. I think it was all done for the cameras.

She was probably coached to cry at some point in the hearings to draw attention away
from her husband.

9. She's sitting in the shock chair. Rove holds the button. n/t

7. I'd cry too if I had to wear that ugly ass outfit.

WalMart style...how depressing.

11. Please, please stop dissing this lady's clothing.

It is really getting on my nerves. Everyone keeps criticizing what she is wearing. In fact, give me an example of what you would wear in front of TV cameras.

13. Lighten up, Francis.

8. Remember, Graham coached hubby on answers. Stands to reason

that wifey got some advice as well

Feingold asks for list of coaches
This is an important list. If those people told Alito how to answer questions about wiretapping etc, there could be trouble.
There is also the report of Sen. Lindsey Graham attending and coaching during the moot sessions.

10. There's no crying in politics!

Put up your socks, Mrs. Alito.

12. Blame her outburst on the shameless Lindsay Graham who played her

emotions like a fiddle. He knew exactly what he was doing.

From the Washington Post...

Referring to the flap over the Concerned Alumni of Princeton, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) asked Alito, "Are you really a closet bigot?" Replied Alito, "I'm not any kind of bigot."

Graham said the issue smacked of "guilt by association" and emotionally told Alito, "I am sorry you had to go through this. I am sorry your family had to sit here and listen to this."

At that point, Alito's wife, Martha-Ann, began to weep and briefly left the hearing room.

14. And poor Lindsey was overcome with emotion

He was choking em back himself
