Mrs. Strip Search Sammy sure had herself a Kodak moment today, didn't she? Goober Graham left off his corn-pone homilies and played the hick card just long enough to set her up by using the B word --– the word they're all terrified of, the word they wanted to use before the Democrats did -- BIGOT BIGOT BIGOT BIGOT BIGOT BIGOT -- that sent the low-rent Sarah Bernhardt shrieking for the cheap seats.

I've worked in the biz long enough to know a poorly executed little melodrama when I see it and that was the worst, the most shameless, most obvious. It's the role you give a really bad actress, one that can't even be counted upon to cry with conviction. The mad dash will obscure the crocodile tears and ensure that all the cameras follow, and any attempt at intelligent discussion of quite serious and weighty matters will undoubtedly get trumped by a moment of quick burlesque ripe for the evening news. A slavish press will need no coaching to play along.

Pure setup 101.

Somebody sat down last night and decided ol' Strip Search was coming off cold and vaguely sweaty and creepy. But how to soften him up, make him sympathetic, get the public on his side? Anyone with an IQ over 52 was doing an eye roll over that one, so it ought to have had some sort of GOP trademark stamp atop it.

Democrats are now effectively warned away from inching near the "B" word lest they look like cruel Snidely Whiplashes taunting Dainty Sensitive Nell.

These boldfaced crooks are absolutely desperate to stack the court and keep all their bacon out of prison.

Update: TBogg says boo-fucking-hoo.

10. ON the grainy C-Span feed Mrs. Alito is starting to look like Judd Nelson

I'm just saying

[Tactical Progressive]

11. A little sympathy, please

This woman just lost a child to an IED in Iraq! See, this is the problem when we put politics above everything, even compassion.

Oh, wait. Nevermind.

Sorry, I see now that her son was just extraordinarily rendered for a year of torture at the hands of foreigners without notice or representation. And you people can't muster even a little empathy for someone in her situation? I'm appalled at DU sometimes.

Hang on. That's not right. Got the stories confused. Wait a second. Here it is:

This woman's family lived for three days in New Orleans, trapped inside their attic before succumbing to the heat and lack of water as our government, our own government, lolly-gagged around waiting for someone to do something. And you won't bother to spend one second trying to reach out and understand what she has been through? You ought to be ashamed.

Really, what has become of Democrats? Nora is right, we owe an apology to the Republicans. And to the media too.

[Stephanie]

12. great post!

perfect

[info being]

14. I thought it was odd to have the family lined up behind him...

then the plan behind this became apparent.

[Straight Shooter]

15. Well, of course then he's a bigot.

Surely they discussed this issue at their dinner table, or does Alito not consult his wife on important matters, eh? The "bigot" label was the oncoming train that anyone with an IQ over 70 would be able to see from a mile away.

If your spouse is not a bigot and someone calls your spouse a bigot, what do you do? Do you laugh? Do you get angry? Probably. Or do you turn on the theatrical faucet and stomp out of the room like a 2-year-old? Yes, if you've been coached to provide a distraction.

Lord knows the woman has made enough faces during the hearing to provide SNL with skits for years to come. Instead of the "Church Lady" they can invent a character called "The Judge's Wife."

16. Good call SS..................

I'll be looking for her on SNL this Sat!

18. Strip Search Sammy? I love it ! nt
