I love the smell of freeper desperation ..... anytime.

They are freaking out over the Mulkasey nomination. There are some real gems. Schadenfreude; ain't it fun?

Why doesn’t Bush just let Charles Schumer serve out the rest of the term, since he gets to make the decisions now?

It’s pretty sad that Bush has sunk this low, that he will let Democrats vilify someone because his wife died in 9/11.

"Mukasey has received past endorsements from Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is from Mukasey's home state. And in 2005, the liberal Alliance for Justice put Mukasey on a list of four judges who, if chosen for the Supreme Court, would show the president's commitment to nominating people who could be supported by both Democrats and Republicans"
Right there was as far as I needed to read....... so sad to watch it end this way....

He was handpicked by Senator Schumer. What does that tell you?

The GOP only has 1 more year holding onto one branch of government, before the lights are out. The President can’t make one final pick? Ted Olson is no extremist, he’s actually a decent moderate. The fact that Bush allowed himn to be smeared and wouldn’t fight it is despicable.

But then, he’s DOJ and not SCOTUS. He’s now 66 so he’ll be too old to be a SCOTUS nominee later.

it sucks when you have to grab your ankles and smile while the worst senator in U.S. history gets to shove it in, not taking anything away from judge mukasey who is a fine man.

Bush will be running cigarette boats over swimmers in Kennebunkport before they can convene any impeachment proceedings.

1. Half the freepers were likely holding out for Pol Pot.

They just hate it over there when they don't get their first choice.

[cali]

4. LOL! And Ted Olsen was their

second choice.

[eleny]

2. I missed this choice

Been so busy around here that I missed it. Being able to read their pain along with the "new news to me" is delicious.

[WillyT]

3. Tee Hee !!!

:evilgrin:

[proud patriot]

5. Excellent

:evilgrin:

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Have to wonder how nominating Mukasey absolves Bush of possible impeachment

:rofl:

[never_get_over_it]

8. Yeah because I'm pretty sure

Nancy Pelosi took care of that.....

[skids]

16. I'm afraid the second guy might be right...

...I think I'll stay out of the water at Kennebunkport, just to be safe.

[tanyev]

7. "Ted Olson is a decent moderate"

Ouch! That made me snort tea out my nose.

[saltpoint]

12. Olson is "a decent moderte" ?? Yikes. In my notes here it says he's "a

scorched-earth fascist."

Somebody's using the wrong edition.

[Marr]

20. Yeah- that was my favorite one, too. Olsen may be a moderate if your scale runs from

Joe Lieberman to Francisco Franco, I suppose.

[Kahuna]

9. Tee hee..

:applause:

[madrchsod]

10. the best line i have heard in a long time

"Bush will be running cigarette boats over swimmers in Kennebunkport before they can convene any impeachment proceedings."-----BRILLANT!

[cali]

13. That was stellar, wasn't it?

That thread is just jam packed with goodies.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

11. Now now lil freep...

"it sucks when you have to grab your ankles and smile while the worst senator in U.S. history gets to shove it in"

There's really no need to drag Ted Stevens into this discussion is there?

:evilgrin:

[emilyg]

14. K&R

[MiniMe]

15. t’s pretty sad that Bush has sunk this low, that he will let Democrats vilify someone because his

wife died on 9-11


No, they are refusing to bow down to him because his wife died on 9-11. Remember Ann Coulter and the NJ wives? (at least I think it was the NJ wives, can't remember the exact quote now.)

[immoderate]

17. They're scared shitless that Bush might appoint an AG that's acceptable to both sides.

They're pissed because a "fine man" has been nominated.

--IMM

[shenmue]

18. Thanks for making me read Freeper attempts at literacy again...

:puke:

Note the very graphic metaphor from JohnLongIsland. Paging Dr. Freud?

:dunce:

[NobleCynic]

19. They actually believe the Dems hold a majority in the SCOTUS?

My god they're removed from reality. It's 7-2 on the Supreme Court in terms of nominations, but I guess cognitive dissonance prevents that from sinking in. After all, everyone "knows" the courts are liberal...
