Catkiller Frist's spokesman educates "liberals" on the "REAL" Scalito.


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist told Republican Party activists on Friday night that U.S. Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito was the "worst nightmare of liberal Democrats." Frist, a Tennessee Republican, made the remark to fellow Republicans during a private tour he gave them of the Senate chamber when the Senate was not in session. Frist was not available for comment following his remarks.

Asked about the senator's remark, Frist spokesman Bob Stevenson said that Alito "is a thoughtful mainstream conservative jurist who is well respected by his peers, by Democrats and Republicans alike."

Stevenson added, "There are liberals, many of them represented by the outside groups, who will do anything to kill any nominee put forward by this administration."

Democrats have expressed concerns the conservative Alito would push the nation's highest court to the right in areas such as abortion rights, civil rights and presidential powers. The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on Tuesday on the Alito nomination and the full Senate intends to debate it next week.

1. Alito is America's worst nightmare
He'll happily and mindlessly destroy separation of powers and allow Bush to create his dictatorship under the euphenism of "Unitary Executive".

He will tilt the table of justice in favor of corporations.

He will deny the right to individual privacy and allow for unprecedented intrusion into our lives by government.

He's a nightmare all right...America's worst nightmare.

3. Cat Killer, Ouija-Board Diagnostician of film clips,
Insider trading expert extrordinaire, Consummate Liar, Stock Market Killer, Medicare rip-off Artist, Pretender to the Throne; This sorry excuse for an adult human being, this Bill Bennett imitator, would have the nerve to instruct grown-ups on what passes for mature decision making and information analysis??

That a man, more than a half century in age, would still be caught in the mental torment of pre-adolescent self image protection, outdoing Narcissus, himself, is a study in delayed development that should fascinate psychology experts for the next half century. Perhaps it would, if it weren't for the fact that such a huge percentage of the US population, maybe the entire world, is suffering from the similar distorted views of reality.

People who are in the active throes of mental delusion, so out of touch with reality, should NOT be allowed to be making decisions that have such wide ranging impact on adults. There is nothing of consequence in his thinking, apparently, and he should be ignored, at best, and confined to a padded institution, for his protection, if any worse.
