George Allen rolls out the big guns against Kerry
1.recycled Clint Eastwood quote:

Well, hearing this news today, Senator Kerry must be feeling lucky because he wants to make my day. If Senate Democrats follow his advice, then I say we must pull the trigger on the Constitutional option. Senators should vote on this nomination and not hide behind partisan political processes to deny this exemplary nominee the fairness of a vote. Senators can vote ‘yes’ or vote ‘no’, but it is our responsibility to vote,” said Allen.

2.the "on foreign soil" canard: what is the republicans' thing with saying things in another country?

“I understand Senator Kerry is in Davos, Switzerland. He shouldn’t be wasting taxpayer’s hard-earned money on long distance phone charges calling for such obstruction. I was hopeful that this nomination process would be of a civil nature. I doubt that all the Democrat Senators will follow Sen. Kerry’s long-distance advice.”

12. No, You're Wrong
Allen is another moron and probably didn't know the term "nuclear option," so he tried to make something up that would sound real. Hopefully, we won't be hearing more Allenisms.

23. No. That is right. They were calling it the Nuclear Option and
then changed it to be more MSM friendly.

3. Well if Rummy can judge that our troops aren't stretched too thin
without visiting Iraq, Kerry can hate on Alito from the Alps.

9. He came to a football game at VT wearing cowboy boots
and struttedu up and down the sideline wearing a VT tie. He's a graduate of UVA, VT's most heated competitor in all things athletic.

24. Sen. Kerry must be quaking in his boots over that. What a joke!
There certainly is a lot of competition for the "biggest asshole in the Senate" award, but Allen has to be in the top ten.

Isn't much bigger than a noisy cricket to anyone else.

34. I would assume that the Senator may pay for his own cell phone calls
and Kerry may have hoped for a basic level of civility in the 2004 campaign. After what the Republicans did to John and Teresa, they have no right to even use the word civility. (The critisisms Alito's wife had to endure were gracious compared to what Teresa had to hear about her husband.)
