About Alito's wife in that goddawful Aqua colored outfit

[Horse with no Name]

Does anyone else might think that was done purposely as a distraction to keep anyone from watching Alito's face too closely?
There has to be a reason she wore that thing.:puke:

[smoogatz]

1. Clown suit was at the cleaner's. n/t

[txindy]

43. She's wearing the clown suit, as far as I'm concerned.

I can't wait to see what she gets back from the cleaners, though. It must be something!

:rofl:

[TomInTib]

2. Is her "smile" taped back or is she stoned?

And that is one Dog-awful outfit. Looks like she got it at a thrift store in Muncie.

[FreedomAngel82]

11. I watched a bit of it last night

and I noticed they all looked smug to me. :shrug: I never really got to see the boy's face well but the others they showed and they all had this smug "I'm better than you are" look on their face. Gave me the willies. The girl reminded me of the junior high/high school preps who only talked and hanged out with their type.

17. It's the Prozac....all Republicans' wives have that same expression...

they're all drugged out of their minds to keep them from slitting their wrists. Being married to a hypocritical gas-bag like Altio would be enough to make any woman "take the bridge". Laura has the exact same expression on her face as well. They all have it, that "stepford wife" smile. None of them are ever very far from their "little magic bottle" of pills. Can you blame them? :shrug:

[Sal Minella]

32. Being married to a man who would force you to have the baby

if you were pregnant as a result of rape or broken condom.....I'd be on Prozac too. On second thought if I had to listen to his voice every day, I WOULD slit my wrists.

[Skidmore]

23. That's a very Laura smile.

[katty]

38. it's the prozac grin

[sasha031]

3. yesterday she coordinated with his tie

I have wondered what kind of woman marries such a man

[ugarte]

10. Two cold fishes...twin beds...nt

[FreedomAngel82]

14. Perhaps a family thing

There's this soap I watch and the father had the son marry this woman who was business partners with the father and they didn't love each other or even like each other. :shrug:

[babylonsister]

4. It's her favorite

color? :shrug: If that's the amount of faith she has in her husband (to supply a distraction), we're all in trouble now! :)

On edit: It really is pretty hideous, especially that collar!

5. A cspan caller said today that whenever Kennedy was questioning

Alito, his wife wouldn't look at Kennedy. She would look elsewhere each time. I don't get that, how would the caller know who she wasn't looking at?

[medeak]

16. My impression was that she was smitten with Ted n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

18. I'd assume her husband was looking at

whoever was questioning him so since she was right behind him and if her eyes were pointed in a different direction than his it suggests she wasn't looking at the questioner.

[sasha031]

it's the callers own projection

they have been led to believe that Kennedy is a murderer, I know it was a tragic accident, but with brainless wonders like this, it doesn't take a great deal of influence to get these (Morans) to fall in line. Just push a few culture buttons,...it never stops

[txindy]

47. No, it was true. She wouldn't look at him.

I saw it, myself. Her hubby looked right at Kennedy at all times when they were engaged in Q&A together. Her eyes were far off to either the left or right. She would never look where Scalito was looking. Freaky.

The caller was absolutely right.

[MoonRiver]

44. I noticed that too.

It happened when Kennedy started questioning Alito about the strip search of the 10 year old girl. That was the point at which she shut down, and turned from a friendly appearing, albeit smug, smiling spouse, to a hostile sideliner. Obviously, this is a very sensitive issue for these Pukes.

[txindy]

46. I noticed that, too. She looked everywhere EXCEPT at Kennedy or ANY Dem

It was easy to tell. Scalito looked at the questioner. Follow his eyes and you can see she's looking in a completely different direction, herself. It was so blatant as to make me just howl with laughter.

[buff2]

6. She reminds of Tom Delay's wife

always there supporting her "man". :puke:

[Sydnie]

7. Delay's wife wears fashionable suits with matching

everything. This one looks like Bette Midler after the transformation in Stepford wives. There must not be a yard of chiffon that she has ever met that she didn't like!

[buff2]

8. I haven't seen her today

I haven't been watching it. I'll have to check it out. :hi:

[Junkdrawer]

9. Remember Nixon's reference to Pat's "cloth Republican coat" in..

the Checkers speech.

It's like that. Alito, you see, is a man of the people. :puke:

[fooj]

12. Do you notice that when he gets annoyed his cheeks turn red?

LOL!!!

[medeak]

19. yep...when Ted was speaking was the best n/t

[txindy]

48. And his thumbs windmill, too.

:rofl:

[ClintonTyree]

13. All conservative women dress like that...........

their hubbies want them to look old fashioned, yet feminine in a 1870's kind of way.
Then their hubbies go out with Abramoff to his penthouse "office" and get it on with 16 year old hookers. You know, a typical conservative night on the town.
Then, come Sunday, at church they'll be crying, "oh god, oh god" but for an entirely different reason. ;)
Hypocrites all.
Of course "wifie" is expected to stay home with the children, bake bread and wear hideous antebellum frocks in order to suggest an air of conservatism. :puke: It's enough to make you sick! :puke:

[QuettaKid]

24. what's this about a penthouse and hookers?

is that part of this story as well or just conjecture? because you know the MSM loves nothing better than when sleaze is injected into the story.

[medeak]

15. what are those pants she's wearing?

thank you for post..was thinking exact same thing...it truly makes it hard to watch. perhaps it IS an intentional distraction...but lordy .. how humiliating.

Dolly Parton meets Marybelle Morgan

[Horse with no Name]

20. Here is a picture in all of its glory for those who haven't seen it

[Mad_Dem_X]

22. Eww! WTF?

That is one ugly-ass outfit. Damn, Repub women can *not* dress!

[RebelOne]

28. How can you say it is ugly when you can only see a portion of the top?

I would have to see the entire outfit from top to bottom to pass judgment.

[SharonAnn]

34. OK, the top part is so ugly that it makes the whole outfit ugly. How

can you say you'd need to see the rest of it? Nothing could make up for that ugly top.

And, it's way out of style! Old, old news.

[AspenRose]

41. *whrrrrr* It's the DU Fashion Police

"Ma'am, you're going to have to step away from the yard sale. I repeat, step away from the yard sale."

She needs a *serious* fashion police citation! Book 'em, Dan-o!

Proof positive that money cannot buy fashion sense or style.

[yorkiemommie1]

29. oh, BROTHer!

n/t

[antonialee839]

39. What's up with the clown collar?

[Swamp Rat]

40. Isn't it kinda early for an Easter Egg costume?

:D

[stanwyck]

45. She needs Stacy and Clinton

I got hooked on their show during the holidays while I was on vacation.

[Straight Shooter]

49. What kind of man marries a woman who could pass for his sister?

Hideous!

And the dress sucks, too.

[MODemocrat]

50. It looks quilted, could it be a lounging robe?

Ruffles are supposed to look feminine, but with her large shoulders, they look weird!

[liveoaktx]

21. She's there to REGISTER HER DISGUST with Dems-so transparent

between watching her jaw twitch, her shoulders heave up and down, and her clear irritation whenever she doens't like the liberal answer, she's the one to watch for how that family *really* feels.

[onenote]

25. you can always count on there being a sophisticated thread like this

Who gives a rat's ass about what Alito's wife is wearing. Why do these threads always end up seeming a bit sexist. She's clueless about fashion. Big f-ing deal. I spend a lot of time on Capitol Hill and I can assure that there are plenty of Democrats (and their spouses) that don't exactly win the best dressed award.

Oh well, can't say I'm surprised, but at least let the record show that at least one DUer thinks these kinds of threads ought to be beneath us.

onenote

[Horse with no Name]

27. It's not sexist

I guarantee if there was a man dressed in aqua chiffon I would give him his due criticism.
Your objection has been noted...
For the record...I see many things that should be beneath us as well that you partake in--will make sure I note it next time it happens.

[onenote]

30. I look forward to it.

[RebelOne]

33. I'm with you. Some people just love to diss a person's looks

and clothes because they don't agree with that person's political policies. It is definitely beneath us and very immature. Sometimes, I thiink we have a bunch of grade schoolers posting here.

[medeak]

36. disagree

you KNOW she had stylists at her bidding and outfit was very well thought out.

[C_U_L8R]

26. Y'all haven't been to New Jersey lately

She's wearing classic North Jersey mall couture...
easily confused with mid seventies disco.

I love her expressions.. she's like the little devil sitting on Alito's shoulder
(or somewhat like Rudy Guilliani's son)

[msgadget]

31. No, I honestly don't

and I think it's a pretty nifty suit. It must be very hard sitting behind your husband knowing you're being captured on camera without reacting overtly to hostile questions directed toward him. I couldn't do it. She's doing a lot better than I would under the circumstances. And, no, I don't want him confirmed but she's got nothing to do with the major issues under review. HE was nominated and she's just along for the ride.

The only trivial thing I've wondered about is his red tie - is that the same one he wore yesterday? Is red his favorite color, the color of his party or was that tie left on the chair beside his bed and he just hastily threw it on...again? :crazy:

[Sal Minella]

35. It's the one that had the Holy Oil on it from yesterday.........

[Missy Vixen]

37. Power tie

>was that tie left on the chair beside his bed<

Red's the current power tie color, right?

[medeak]

42. anyone notice she's not in camera view anymore?

different angle not showing her.... or did she leave?
