There could be. How do you feel about giving me your bank account number?
I went strolling about the blogoswamp quite a bit last night and this evening, poking around at tighty righty sites (NRO, Red State, Little Green Footballs etc.)and the general consensus to this eye is “masturbatin’ like a motherfuck”.
If there is disgruntlement, and there is, it seems to center around the stealthy approach. They don’t want to arm wrestle, they damned sure don’t want to negotiate, they want to ram it down the left’s throat, they want the Bushiviks trumpeting a reactionary calvary charge, they want blood, and gore and veins in their teeth.
Michelle Malkin could just eat him all up.
“We trust that, in light of Judge Roberts’ rock-solid credentials,” Dobson said…(quote mercifully truncated).
And so on and so forth. They are perfectly happy with his Federalist Club credentials, though they might prefer that he was more involved in the paramilitary wing…
This is one of the reasons I admire you so much. More than anyone I know here (and certainly more than I), you truly try to keep an open mind and strive to live according to your own beliefs and philosophy.
Tres cool, Teach. 
Unless you yourself are a white Anglo-Saxon male, your remark is racist and sexist.
I did pull my head out of my ass. You see, you asserted that he was getting universal praise and accolades (unless I misunderstood what “Oh, and the Right Wingers Radiobitches won’t trash Roberts. Instead they’ll give him a nice reach around - but Roberts won’t matter.” meant), and it turns out that it’s not the case, and you dismiss it with hand-waving. You provided the evidence with your very cites.
So, what were we saying about heads being up asses? You think that the conservative pundits are in lockstep about this, and they are surely not but it doesn’t suit you to believe that. It suits you to think that everybody loves this guy so that you can insult the mindless conservatives across the country, and it just ain’t so.
I think this guy is a good pick, but not because Rush said so. Rather, it’s because he sounds like me: he may not believe in something, but he knows that the alternative is worse and is not going to attempt to change it.
Unless of course I “meant” that the Right Wingers Radiobitches meant, oh, I don’t know, them as a group.
Everyone knows to say neither “never” or “always” because are always exceptions. Still, not a whole lot of hate in those quotes, and not even one person referring to him as a compromise candidate.
If you’d like to split hairs, I don’t think that 'ol Horseface is even a radio “personality”. I just included her so I could be fair and balanced.
For anyone interested, the reason I chose the Bags O’ Hate I did is when I’m really unfortunate and I’m on a long drive with the boss (not Springsteen, sadly) I get to hear, in order, Ingraham, Limbaugh, and Hannity.
-Joe, funbag
They did a spoofe on this on the Daily Show . . . good stuff! They superimposed that boy in the debates, a SOTU address, really funny.
But I did comment on his facial tic rather than his expression. Looks like Georgie hasn’t gotten off the Snow Train just yet. Too bad they can’t run an HONEST drug test on him right now. He showed classic symtoms of being on speed: coke-jaw and dialated pupils (I didn’t notice this second one until I saw clips of it last night).
I just hope this new guy works out. So far I have skeptical optimism. I’m not very happy about his family’s involvement in the pro-life cause and I certainly hope he sticks to his word about not overturning pro-choice. We’ll see though, I’m not going to jump on the badwagon just yet and discredit him because he’s a republican. There are lots of good republicans out there and he seems to have a little more respect for the other side of the aisle which is sorely lacking in this administration.
Fuck you, you gangrenous ballsack.
You’re going to throw out a fucking insult to me about my conservatism without even fucking reading the post you’re insulting me about?
You shit-swilling, piss-swimming, goat-licking piece of turd. Read my fucking post, and see who I was “holding up as an example”. Read it, you slime-coated syphillitic moron. What’s the answer? Is it “none”? Maybe? Maybe Corrado was just putting together a complete list of how many Supreme Court Chief Justices had judicial experience, and came up with the answer “3 out of 18”?
No, no, let’s not read the post. That involves thinking, and thinking is hard. Let’s just toss out a gratuitous insult, impuning Corrado for motives we’ll ascribe to him regardless of what I actually fucking said.
Idiot.
Jay?
Ellsworth?
Marshall?
Chase?
Waite?
Fuller?
White?
Hughes?
Stone?
Rehnquist?
Unless you’re willing to describe Warren Burger, William Howard Taft, and Frederick Vinson as the only Supreme Court Justices with any merit whatsoever, then you’re blowing smoke out your ass.
No, wait! Let me turn the tables!
If Hamlet is therefore saying that the only Chief Justice with any merit whatsoever was Frederick Vinson, then I have seriously misunderstood his understanding of legal practices and precedent.
Whoo! Eat it, shit bag!
Okay, asswipe- gimme a list. Go ahead. You have a perfect person in mind, spit it the fuck out. If instead you’re saying, “Well, surely someone like that exists,” then suck on frozen sewage and tell me it’s a popsicle.
Hey, I didn’t get my copy of the form letter that complains about whomever Bush nominated. They were supposed to be here weeks ago and all I had to was write in the nominee’s name in the “insert nominee’s name here” spot and mail them to all my congressman.
If anybody has their’s on computer please Email me a copy so I can send them out. I’m falling behind in my meaningful political activism.
[Vader]Impressive! Very impressive![/Vader]
If I didn’t know you were joking…
I’m almost of the opinion that certain groups (in all areas of the spectrum) were so geared up for a fight, that once Bush put up a name, a fight was inevitable.
As a matter of fact, yes. Although I do have some native american roots deeper in my ancestory (two grandparents were 1/4th indian) my heritage is predominately anglo-saxon. And I’m male, at least last time I checked.
I don’t have anything against white anglo males, I just think that in a nation as diverse as ours there were plenty of people of an equal caliber with Roberts who could have filled the position who are of a gender/ethnicity that is underrepresented in our government.
It’s a symbolic gesture to appoint minorities, but it’s an important gesture nonetheless. Justice Thomas is a hardcore conservative and I disagree with him on just about everything, but I think it’s good that we have a black conservative on the bench as a way of showing people that having a certain skin color doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to think a certain way.
I love the way that folks immediately resort to ad hominem attacks when they can’t refute what was said originally. Soooo predictable.
Well then, your remark that the court doesn’t need another white Anglo-Saxon male clearly is not racist after all. But would you also say that the board didn’t need another white Anglo-Saxon male when you signed up?
I’ll admit I don’t know jack about our new guy. But, being the sort of person I am, all I can say is this. If both sides hate him, good. If the far left and the far right don’t like him, good. If the extreme liberals and the extreme conservatives don’t like him, good. That is a good sign. That tells me he is somewhere close to the middle ground. You can tell a man by his friends AND his enemies.
Whatever you say, sweetycakes. And of course your first post to this thread was a well thought out one, and any resemblance to an ad-hominem is merely a clever illusion as long as you say so.
It’s like MacBeth, dude. Too much Saxon violence.
I think you Pict the wrong ethnic group, there.
He didn’t figure all the Angles.
