Photo Of Martha-Ann Alito's .... um .... "Breakdown"...

[leftchick]

Martha -Ann?? First time I have seen that.

:eyes:

Anyway, boo fucking hoo martha-ann.....:cry:



Martha-Ann Alito reacts during the third day of the confirmation hearings for her husband Judge Samuel Alito as Associate Justice on the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2006. Mrs. Alito reacted to the apology by Republican Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. for the contentious nature of questioning during the hearing.

1. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! She's looking DIRECTLY AT THE CAMERA!

That's an ACT if I ever saw an act. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

[progressivebydesign]

2. She's too unstable to be the wife of a SC Justice.

If she loses it during that powder puff questioning... sounds like mr. Alito needs to recuse himself from all this and 'spend more time with his family'.

[notadmblnd]

30. you're right, the questioning regarding his endorsement of

torturing small children didn't bother her yesterday, so why would Sen Grahams praise of Sammy in how he is not a bigot make her cry?

[NVMojo]

3. I smell a rat ...

[w13rd0]

4. It's a CONFIRMATION hearing...

...and it is the incumbent and sacred duty of the Senate to be a CHECK AND BALANCE on the Presidents ability to nominate complete whack jobs to lifetime appointments. Bush is a SHITTY judge of character. Micheal Brown, Abramoff, Tom Delay, Karl Rove, Cheney, jimminy cricket, being a liar and a corrupt criminal seems to be a requirement to get into Bush's good graces. This staged bullshit is just f'ckin infuriating. All image, no substance, it's the GOP way of life.

[babylonsister]

6. Don't forget Harriet Miers, THE most accomplished and

qualified nominee there ever was.:eyes:

[Jawja]

26. Bush is a shitty

judge of character because he has NO character that I am aware of. He wouldn't understand character if it hit him in the face; in fact, he's afraid of it, as with Cindy Sheehan.

[Cooley Hurd]

5. I could understand her crying jag IF someone ACTUALLY said...

...something REALLY mean. But, she cried when GRAHAM asked her husband if he was a bigot. NOT ONE DEMOCRAT called him anything of the sort!

If she DIDN'T do this for the cameras, then she must be emotionally unstable to break down like that on national TV.:thumbsdown:

[Benhurst]

9. Maybe she cried because she misunderstood Graham's question,

and thought Lindsey was implying her husband was in the closet with him.

[helderheid]

38. she didn't even cry then. She laughed. She cried when LG started

saying what a good man he was and then apologized for them having to go through this.

[still_one]

7. and it was about a year ago when graham had to appologize

for a racial joke he made

screw the repukes, and that includes the racist pigs strom thurmond, and all the southern repuke senators

It is funny, it was the repukes under lincoln that were for civil rights and the dems against it. Look how the times have reversed themseleves, now it is the democrats who represent civil rights

WHO BELONGED TO THAT RACIST ORGANIZATION? It was alito

It is time we played hardball and ignored the MSM

Let the chips fall where they will

WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE

[MelissaB]

8. Is there a video anywhere?

I've been out all day and wouldj love to see it.

[leftchick]

15. just tune in to CNN they are playing it constantly

blaming those mean old Dems. :eyes:

I expect our dear liveoaktx will come up with a video in no time. :)

[NYC Liberal]

55. Let me guess that spin on the ol' Certainly Not News network...

It was a glimpse into the "personal" side of Alito and his family. She showed "humanity." And it was "poignant" or some such crap.

Am I close?

[Rhiannon12866]

60. Nope. Not even close, on DU.

They are either suggesting that she was acting in front of the cameras, or suggesting that she has emotional problems, or vilifying those of us who criticized her for not having enough self-control to hold it together in front of national TV. As for me, I hold with the first group. But if it's really the latter, she has no place in public life, and both she and her husband should return to private life, and live it as they choose. I wish them well.:shrug:

[helderheid]

39. www.cnn.com - "Alito's wife tears up"

www.cnn.com - a video is up on the front page "Alito's wife tears up"

[buff2]

10. Oh I feel so sorry for her!

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Lefty48197]

11. Did the Democrats go too far?

Heard that one on CBS news tonight.

[DoYouEverWonder]

29. The Democrats had nothing to do with this little drama

It's apparent that Lindsey Graham didn't just coach her husband at the WH.

[oasis]

32. The SCOTUS story becomes, "Dems are so mean" , not Alito's racism.

[Scurrilous]

12. Caution. Wet Thespian.

Martha-Ann channels Tammy-Faye. The MSM goes wild.

[tulsakatz]

13. what did she think was going to happen?

I mean it's not like she were being invited to a tea party!!

[DemGirl7]

14. BOO HOO!!!

:nopity: :nopity:

[janx]

16. Who knows why she did this...

But it's ridiculous of the media to make it into such melodrama.

[johnfunk]

17. Mrs. Scalito... crying right on cue...

Remember -- she started crying when Scalito's coach Lindsey "Ambiguously Heterosexual" Graham was talking about charges that Scalito's a closet bigot.

She was crying on cue -- or crying because she fears the gig is up and Scalito WILL be revealed as a strong participant in CAP.

What a couple of phonies.

[0007]

18. I hope they checked her for concealed weapons.

[Gman]

19. Fucking scripted bullshit

[tinfoilinfor2005]

20. It could be menopause.

Causes a lot of emotional highs and lows that aren't easily controlled and can be quite embarrassing. Rude of the media to make a huge deal of it.

[Rhiannon12866]

61. I agree with you. She should not be made a spectacle, if she's going

through this. But a woman with her resources must certainly have access to adequate health care to help her deal with such problems. And I'm not suggesting HRT, but, perhaps, herbs, a more gentle solution. I'm sure that her doctor could suggest something. Yikes!:-(

[boobooday]

21. I have looked like that before

After wearing pantyhose all day . . .

[0007]

22. PBS just shown Mrs Alito breaking down . . . .

[leftchick]

23. yeah? how was it?

I have shut my tv down for the night.

[0007]

27. It was fucking disgusting. She is no better than a shill and

playing into the weakest part of nature, a moran's nature that is, those folks that say we shouldn't be jumping on her like it was Tom DeLay's wife.

This woman is lower than Mrs. DeLay, or as low.

edited to say :hi:

[leftchick]

33. back atcha triple 0!

:hi:

She is a shill for the fascist regime just like her hubby. I hope her daughter never has to have a coathanger experience because of them.

[Cooley Hurd]

35. It's the lead story on "The Shituation Room" with Leslie Blitzer...

This was planned, and Leslie got the FAX!:grr:

[0007]

46. "The Shituation Room" that funny!

Planned, eh? I don't doubt it, after watching Mrs. Alito's facial expressions for the last two days. It was more than just cheer leading, man! she was whoring for her man.

:hi:

[Cooley Hurd]

51. She's the kind of person Hillary spoke of when she made the comment

...about Tammy Wynette.;)

:hi:

[johnfunk]

63. Flush twice! You're in The Shituation Room...

... with Leslie Blitzer! Will he spare a square? Does he have a square to spare? Ed Henry has the latest from Karl Rove's private bathroom...

[leftchick]

24. Hatch: "She is sick and tired of mistreatment of her husband"!

<snip>

Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch (news, bio, voting record) of Utah suggested that Alito's wife was upset with the comments of Democrats. "She's sick and tired of the mistreatment of her husband," Hatch said. He also said that she was suffering from a migraine headache.

[helderheid]

42. ashamed he is my senator

[leftchick]

45. Hey, I live in NC another state with stolen elections....

I have Burr and Dole... :puke: :puke:

25. playing the sympathy card

there is something fishy about her wearing the "carpet". Look in this other pic, she is wearing flashy red. A person usually doesn't wear those two different types of clothes. And the daughter looks armed for bear, tough and sex appeal.

[w13rd0]

31. Of course...

...Republicans are the very first to cry "I'm a victim, I need daddy Bush to protect me". Why should this be any different. They are all an act, that or they are way too "sensitive".

[Neecy]

28. awwww.....

This will o'the wisp act feeds right into the 1950's Republican mindset, that women are so fragile and emotional that they can't run with the big boys.

No wonder the corporate media is lapping this up. It's a war on women being fought on many fronts.

[Kerrytravelers]

34. Maybe she's crying because she realizes she's married to a piece of shit..

Just wondering?

:shrug:

[txindy]

40. I would hope she didn't already know everything she heard in the hearings

Because then I would have to say that her staying with that racist, fascist monster is inexcusable.

[OhioChick]

36. Seemed staged to me.............. n/t

[WritingIsMyReligion]

37. Martha-Ann???

:wtf:

That's a southern name if I've ever heard one--no offense, southern DUers.

[SoCalDem]

41. Now I know where i remember her from

(sorry for the terrible grammar)

[Tinksrival]

43. My appologies to Nathan Lane

But just had to post it.




BBBBOOOOOOO WWWWWHHHOOOOO WWWHHOOOOOOOOO

[helderheid]

47. LMAO!!

Oh my!! Thanks!

[Jade Fox]

49. Oh man, not while I'm eating !

Now there's yogurt on my computer screen! :rofl:

That was pure genius Tinksrival.

[stepnw1f]

44. Your Dishonesty is somehow .... um... OBVIOUS

maybe it's the fact that you are looking INTO The CAMERA!

[helderheid]

48. Another apology to Nathan Lane - Were Starina and Mrs. Alito separated at

birth?

[helderheid]

50. finally got the code to work!

[Tinksrival]

52. Thats why she reminds me of Nathan!!

Mrs. Alito on a one of her better days! HHHaaHHaa!!!

[helderheid]

57. I will never look at her the same way!

[Sydnie]

54. Don't forget her other half

[helderheid]

58. my lord - he does look a bit like Sammy!

[antonialee839]

64. Too funny!!

:rofl:

[kevinbgoode]

53. Please...she has been strategically sitting in front of the camera

and frankly, if that is all the spine his wife has, how can anyone expect Alito to handle the long hours, the confinement, the scrutiny, the public pressures of being a Supreme Court justice? The President should withdraw his name. . .after all, Miers' withdrew for far less reason.

[DS1]

56. HAHAHAHAH!!! It looks like she's having trouble holding back her

own laugther!
:rofl:

[Raster]

59. If that's all they got out of her, they didn't go far enough!!!

[txindy]

62. Check this out:

It really breaks it down. This is blatant hypocrisy from Mrs. Scalito.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/1/11/212155/847

[helderheid]

65. That is exactly how I felt about it. I didn't notice the nod - will have

to look again. Thanks for the link!

[helderheid]

67. watched it again - she does look to the left, nod and mouth "Okay"

http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/politics/2006/01/11/sot.graham.alito.wife.crying.cnn

[underpants]

66. I hate it when Judd Nelson cries

'tis so sad
