alito & i are the same age, & i met jerkoffs like him in college

[mopaul]

during the vietnam war they were always in the rotc and they blindly supported nixon and the war and they screamed at the dirty hippies and they were all the same tight assed pukes who hated to see anyone have any fun or make any waves.

they were the type who felt so little inside that they had to make a big impression to the world about how big they were and they spent all their time making sure no one mistook them for a hippie. suit and tie, short hair, corn cob up their ass, they were all the same little republican nazi youth you see in the gop today.

i do not look forward to an asshole of this proportion making rules about this tired old crazy hippie's life.

1. I think we all know those types.

Viet Nam was over by the time I went to college, but these "little republican nazi youth" still existed. They voted for Reagan. They voted for Bush the elder. Fuck these people.

[EwokMyWeewok]

2. Just Another Nazi

nothing new here.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. You And Me Both, Mo

I'm just a shade younger, but still new the type. Lots of 'em in frats too! Ooooh! I don't like those frat boys!

4. It's both sad and ludicrous that he claims to have "no agenda".

[tenshi816]

29. People like Alito have had "agendas"

since they were in college, or high school even. Rove, Abramoff and Reed, to name just a few.

Alito has probably been working towards this, or something like this, since he was in his teens.

[bunkerbuster1]

5. These guys have been carrying their WATB chip on their shoulders

for years. They were figuratively wedgied by "the hippies" who were apparently having all the fun in college while they were good little brownshirts.

[Surya Gayatri]

9. Sorry to show my ignorance

but what's WATB??? SG
:dunce:

[bunkerbuster1]

12. Whiny. Ass. Titty. Baby.

baybeee!

[Surya Gayatri]

16. Thanks,

never would have guessed that one! SG

[hwmnbn]

6. I caught that too.........

When he mentioned his college days, he said something like "when I got there, students were acting in ways that went against what I was taught at home"

You know that mofo was a straight-ass chickenshit. Must not go against what daddy and mommy say. He still believes that only now the chimp is his daddy and mommy.

What a creep. I bet he can't dance either!

[Kingshakabobo]

22. Have you seen his mother?

One look at her and her attitude explains a lot.

[hwmnbn]

26. DOH!!!.......you had to pique my curiosity didn't you?........

Normally, moms are cool in my book. But these repug bitch-moms can cause nightmares!!

[Kingshakabobo]

30. I'm not even referring to her appearance.

I'm referring to her little impromptu interview regarding her son's stance on abortion.

It was typical right-wing righteous indignation......"Well OF COURSE he is ant-abortion." She said it as if she drilled it in to his pointy little head for the past 40 years.

edit:punctuation

[Surya Gayatri]

7. I agree, mopaul,

there's something prissy and self-satisfied in his voice and demeanor. I wouldn't like to come before his court, no matter how imressive his judicial credentials. "I went beyond the ethical requirements.....blah, blah, blah..." "I had nothing to gain financially...." (just a payback to my political cronies) blah, blah, blah. SG
:puke:

[murray hill farm]

8. yep..i am from the same era..ha

and i remember the type ohhhhhhhhhh so well..ha! They really have not changed with age..if you even mention your past association with "hippie" time...their eyes still pop out with wild indignation...while they wonder if you still fit their imagined hippie role...wildly promiscuous, free love, drugged, freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..hahahahahahaha! While really...they wish they could be you...for even just a second..ughhhhhhh!

[klook]

10. Yeah, I knew a couple of dorks like that in college, too

Calling Lt. Calley a patriot, bringing a briefcase to class, calling the prof. "Sir" or "ma'am." Always sniffing the air for telltale signs of unauthorized herbal substances. I imagine them at home listening to Pat Boone records and dreaming up new ways to return America to a state of blissful, squeaky-clean clampdown.

[Beetwasher]

11. Someone Needs To DOSE Him, Bigtime

Where's Owsley when you need him?

Can you imagine someone slipping some blotter in his water glass during these hearings? Man, that would rock.

[hwmnbn]

18. Beetwasher, I just had a flash........

The fundies annointed the hearing room with oil, we should annoint his water with the substance of our choice. If someone did that, we'd find out what he REALLY feels inside.

All we'd have to do is watch the fireworks when he gets off. Who knows, he might come to his senses.

[glitch]

13. Frank Burns.

Without the sex with Hotlips.

[underpants]

20. DING!

on the money

[Misskittycat]

14. I knew a few of them,too. n/t

[DemoTex]

15. ROTC Commander Doug Niedermeyer of "Animal House."

Niedermeyer, according to the credits at the end of Animal House, was "killed by his own troops in Viet Nam."

[lectrobyte]

17. Trust Dean Wormer on these kinds of guys:

Get Niedermeyer on it, he's a sneaky little shit...

[LiberalEsto]

19. I was at Rutgers around the time Scalito was at Princeton

and I can tell exactly what kind of self-righteous nasty little twit he was. Probably tattled on anyone who lit up a joint in his vicinity, and only dated moronic future CWA girls who used huge quantities of hair spray.We'd have made mincemeat of him at RU.

[underpants]

21. All this ROTC stuff is cracking me up

Who knew that almost sorta being in Vietnam would be something you would use as your default story (yeah yeah I know why they are doing it) whenever you don't want to talk about being a part of a radical racist alumni organization.

NERDS!!!!

[Oilwellian]

23. Today, Digby addresses this very issue

By contrast, I just had a chance to see Alito's opening statement and I have to say that I think he came off as an asshole:


And after I graduated from high school, I went a full 12 miles down the road, but really to a different world when I entered Princeton University. A generation earlier, I think that somebody from my background probably would not have felt fully comfortable at a college like Princeton. But, by the time I graduated from high school, things had changed.

And this was a time of great intellectual excitement for me. Both college and law school opened up new worlds of ideas. But this was back in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

It was a time of turmoil at colleges and universities. And I saw some very smart people and very privileged people behaving irresponsibly. And I couldn't help making a contrast between some of the worst of what I saw on the campus and the good sense and the decency of the people back in my own community.


This is the same guy who wanted to keep women out of Princeton. Presumably, they wouldn't have "felt comfortable" there. But that's not what made that statement so revealing. It's this notion of smart and privileged people "behaving irresponsibly."

I think it's fairly certain that he's not talking about branding frat boys' asses or getting drunk and stealing Christmas Trees. He's talking about anti-war protestors, feminists etc. And like so many campus conservatives of that era, he sounds like he's still carrying around a boatload of resentment toward them.

Roberts apparently came out of all that unscathed. Confident in his own abilities and social prowess, he didn't appear to have this puny, pinched view of liberalism as a threat to decency and morality. (He may have it, but it didn't show --- or he was smart enough to hide it in his hearings.) Alito is one of those other guys. You know the ones:


The only political aspirants among those three groups who failed to meet the test of their generation were the chickenhawks. And our problem today is that they are the ones in charge of the government as we face a national security threat. These unfulfilled men still have something to prove.

And, I suspect because their leadership of the "conservative" movement has infected the new generation, we are seeing much of the same pathology among younger warhawks as well. This is why we hear the shrill war cries of inchoate bloodlust from these quarters every time the terrorists strike. It's a primal scream of inner confusion and self-loathing. These are people whose highest aspirations and deepest longings are wrapped up in their masculinity, and yet they are flaccid failures. They are in a state of arrested development, never having faced their fears, never becoming men, remaining boys standing in the corner of the darkened hallway watching Bill Clinton emerge from a co-ed's dorm room to lead a rousing all night strategy session --- and sitting in the bus station on the way home for Christmas vacation as Chuck Hagel and John Kerry in uniform, looking stalwart and strong, clap each other on the back in brotherly solidarity and prepare to see what they are really made of. They have never been part of anything but an effete political movement in which the stakes go no higher than repeal of the death tax.


In other words, he's a freeper. I say filibuster the creep.

[Tsiyu]

24. He is narrow-minded and sick in the mind

to boot.

[NightOwwl]

25. Looks like he never bothered removing the corn cob from his ass.

The guy looks so uptight you just know there must be some unresolved issues whirling around in that brain of his.

I'll bet he would love to be taken into a dark room and whipped into submission by a high-heeled, leather-wearing dominatrix, while he yells "Mommy! Stop Mommy you're hurting me!" And he would enjoy every single moment of it.

Hey, I'm jess saying, that's all.

[G_j]

27. I thought the same thing

just the type to be an informer or a narc.

[Cleetus]

28. I know...

I campained my ass of for McCarthy in '68. Fucking Nixon assholes were worse than bushbots, if you can imagine that.

Alito will be a loyal bushbot. Maybe he'll be the one to spearhead SCOTUS repealing the 22nd amendment, paving the way for the fucking chimp to be dictator for life.

God, this sucks.
