[DeepModem Mom]

FYI

[0007]

1. Whore meet whore

[hopeisaplace]

2. that's making me cry

[leftstreet]

3. I'd cry if Lindsey Graham was coming on to my spouse, too.

If I were a Mrs.

[blm]

29. **spit take**

.

[shanti]

4. cry me a river

:(

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. They're making sure people know Lindsey Graham COACHED HER

and her bigoted husband and she cried on queue DURING HIS QUESTIONING, right?:eyes: Bastards.

[BlueStateGirl]

12. Oh no, it was "obviously totally unscripted",

[notadmblnd]

6. she busted out in tears because Lindsey Graham was praising her husband?

either this woman suffers from depression and Mr Graham hit a nerve, or it was pure act.

[boobooday]

7. Don't cry for me, Mrs. Alito . . .

It's just too traumatic listening to the hateful words of the people her husband has been only too happy to associate with . . .

[tanyev]

22. LOL!

[AspenRose]

31. Hee hee hee

:-)

[BlueStateGirl]

8. Oh sweet Jesus! That's what reduced her to tears? I'm sorry, but

that was nothing. Really. Sen. Graham spent most of the time not so subtley talking about Abramoff and how they (Senators and Reps) didn't know Abramoff was a bad bad man.

She needs to toughen up if she has a prayer of surviving in DC.

[Cooley Hurd]

9. Leslie Blitzer got the fax...

...and is gladly playing up Martha's stunt.:grr::mad:

[necso]

10. Setup, methinks. /nt

[necso]

41. Oh,

and just so it's clear, I'm thinking maybe that this guy's polling numbers may not be so good.

Hard to get good numbers though.

[cantstandbush]

11. To hell with them. Did they report tears from Cindy Sheehan? n/t

[shance]

13. Un - Buh - LEEEEVABLE

How much lower can they go? Of course the highlights are not that Arlen Spector is getting yanked from his leadership position because he lied about receiving the request from Senator Kennedy. Its about Mrs. Alito CRYING?????

Help me out.

It may very well have been hard for Mrs. Alito today.

It will be MUCH HARDER FOR EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN who has to endure a dictatorship if her husband is appointed.

[Mind_your_head]

35. How did I miss that? Spector's getting yanked from his leadership

position b/c he lied about the letter? Who/What/How'd that happen?

(My children were talking to me ~how dare they *sarcasm*~ near the end of the hearing today, maybe that's when I missed "it"?)

[classics]

14. So the stunt worked. Republics sink to a new low. n/t

[rurallib]

15. Haven't seen it but it sounds like a set-up

as usual something to distract from the substance which drugRush, hannitypants and fallafel man can shout from the rooftops while their man sneaks in the door as attention is diverted.

[rzemanfl]

16. Timed perfectly for the evening news, takes away anything of

substance and makes the whole thing about emotion, like the entirely fake emotion about Cheney's gay daughter being mentioned in the debate.

[babylonsister]

18. Good correlation that. nt

[caligirl]

20. good comparison, good memory.

[caligirl]

17. A grown woman of her stature acting like an unpolished actor.

[Singular73]

19. Thats not the worst part

The worst part is when that Asshat Graham sat there and tried to equivicate the Abramhoff situation to the Scalito thing.

[danalytical]

27. Yeah I noticed that

What the hell was that all about. What a fuckin snake..

[Neecy]

21. I wonder...

Will CNN cover the many thousands of American women who will die from back alley abortions when Mrs. Alito's husband overturns Roe?

[Catrina]

23. Her tears are for a loved one lost in Iraq? Or allowed to die of thirst

in NOLA? Or maybe she's still missing a loved one, lost and abandoned by the Bush administration after the Hurricane because we've stopped looking for those missing 6,000 US citizens?

I don't watch CNN tabloid news, so I really don't know why her tears are a top news story when so many tears have been shed since this administration took office.

I'm thinking of the story of the mother of a soldier who was killed in Bush's war, who herself died of a broken heart afterwards. And of the father, so distraught by the news of his son's death in Iraq, that he tried to set himself on fire in his truck.

I never saw any of them on CNN.

[EFerrari]

24. Please show some compassion for the Alitos:

[swhisper1]

25. abused wives always breakdown when the truth comes out

about their hubbies.. He thinks he is superior to women, you can see it in his eyes and how he introduced his inlaws. His daughter clearly does not like him, she is not a happy person.

[boobooday]

32. You got that right

It was probably just the realization that her husband despises all women, not just her.

[blm]

26. It FOCKIN' FIGURES!!!!! CNN - Corporate News Network

,

[AndyTiedye]

28. Maybe a Violin Concerto Would Make Her Feel Better

30. LOL! I knew that was coming! nt

[tularetom]

33. See the democrats get called assholes

even for an obviously fake staged set up. So you know what? They might as well REALLY be assholes. Don't stop with Borkalito's wife - tomorrow why don't they see if they can make HIM cry. Remember the raft o'shit Mrs. Kerry took for her reaction to some the shit they threw at Kerry during the campaign/ Guess these pubs aren't really tough enough to be in these positions huh?

[oasis]

36. Go for it Dems.

:bounce:

[VolcanoJen]

34. Now it's Tweety's turn!!

"They're talking about this Princeton thing like they've got the motherlode!" Tweety on Dems.

"It seems to me she's a wonderful woman who's really stood up for her husband. There's a lot of high school nonsense going on right now." Tweet on Mrs. Blubbers and Dems

The two rubber-stamp goons sitting next to him immediately chimed in with talk of the Democrats habit of "character assassination" when it comes to Bush's nominees.

I AM GOING TO FUCKING THROW MY TV THROUGH THE WINDOW

[jimshoes]

37. Who believes the shit

that oozes out of these dopes. The fucking pukes invented character assassination fer chris' sakes.

[Initech]

38. You've got to be fucking kidding.

The liberal media is dead to me. :nopity:

[Quixote1818]

39. If Hillary Clinton were to cry then they would say she has mental problems

and is not strong enough to lead.

Their is so much hypocrisy on this.

[dorktv]

42. but you know...Mrs. Alito is a stay at home proper Republican wife.

Or just a Republican wife. They are allowed emotions.

[CornField]

40. Is there anything else which could have pushed the Kennedy-Specter thing

off the map?

Nevermind that Specter outright lied about not getting the correspondence... nevermind that Kennedy's request was granted & we'll here more about it tomorrow... Look! His wife is in tears!
