How to walk, chew gum and confirm Sotomayor

Senate Dems are having some fun at the Republicans' expense, passing around a helpful guide for conservatives who say the Sotomayor nomination is moving too fast for them to deliberate and do their day jobs.

It's called a "A Handy How-To Guide for Republican Judiciary Members: Special mastication and ambulation edition," and provides mocking, step-by step instructions on how to walk ahd chew gum at the same time.

One excerpt: "Walking is accomplished with a strategy called the double pendulum."



This is hysterical!
Here's the .pdf:

2. That's a "Brazillion" Sarah...
and no, only the libruls on the hill know how to read, let alone digest the information. The rest are simply fed talking points which they regurgitate on command - doubly so on the Sunday "news" shows.
