I was going to watch 60 Minutes for the Scalia piece

[baldguy]

But once I heard Leslie Stahl describe him as "unpretentious and down-to-earth" I figured why bother?

[napi21]

1. Think about those words. He always DOES sound down-to-earth

and unpretentious when I've heard him either on an interview or giving a speech. That does not mean he's honest, and straight forward! He's NOTHING like Roberts who always speks like an elitist and is pretentious.

2. I won't put my flat screen at risk, thank you.

No sense ruining it over some bushy-eyebrowed dolt in a long black dress.

[depakid]

3. No reason whatsoever to watch that crap

[babylonsister]

4. I'll be watching; he talks about the Supreme Court's role in election 2000.

I saw the commercial; I want to see the context.

[baldguy]

5. Do you think the meaning will be different in context?

He said "Get over it," but what he really means is "Fuck you!"

[bdamomma]

10. and "so"

[ColbertWatcher]

14. Indeed, and here is a hearty "get over it" right back at Antonin!

[VP505]

6. His segment is definitely going to

require a channel change, citizens can't do much about him but I sure as hell don't need to hear and watch him insult me.

[spanone]

7. scalia seems to be his own greatest fan

[bdamomma]

8. this is what I think about Scalia

his arrogance is stunning.


:puke:
He would of been a good character in the Sopranos.

[alfredo]

9. Watched him walk down the stairs and it is obvious he wears diapers.

[babylonsister]

12. Or his thighs are getting in the way. nt

[alfredo]

19. I don't think he's blessed in that way, even though he's Italian.

[babylonsister]

11. Ruth Bader Ginsberg is one of his best friends?!! nt

[BigDaddy44]

13. You've gotta be kidding me

That I just cannot fathom or understand

[babylonsister]

16. She did say he thinks he's 'never wrong' so she enjoys

counting the ways he is, to him and in court. He'll say something, and she'll write her/an opinion on how he is so off base.

I don't get it either. He does seem like a condescending, vile man to me.

[bdamomma]

15. .........

get over it!!!!!!!!!! so there!!!!!!!!!!

never blame themselves never.

fuck him, the election would have come out the same way, give me a break!!!!!!!!

[JackBeck]

17. Stahl just gave him an "out" with the torture question.

She referred to torture as "punishment", which Scalia used to wiggle out of the torture question.

Then before the commercial break, she referred to him as, "confident". We called it "smug and arrogant".

[AlCzervik]

18. i was going to watch it but after reading this thread i think i'll watch "the Kite runner" intead.

you all in the east coast sometimes save me a whole lotta trouble and for that i really appreciate you all.
