Elena Kagan Confirmation Hearings Finally Talk About Serious Business
During Elena Kagan's Supreme Court confirmation hearings this morning, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), decided to open her remarks with a question about The Most Pressing Issue Of Our Time (This Week): Team Edward or Team Jacob? One wonders if Klobuchar lost a particularly grueling game of Truth Or Dare that ensued during the Eclipse-premiere-occasioned sleepover she talked about hosting at at her house last night, and thus felt forced to ask that question for the benefit of the C-Span-watching hordes (and her daughters). Kagan demurred, instead uttering a sorta-strident "I wish you wouldn't" that sounded like her pledge of allegiance to Team I Am So Embarrassed For You As A Fellow Woman In Politics. [Via]
That sound is the sound of me stabbing myself in the eye with a fork.
I am only disappointed that I cannot have an informed opinion, as I have not seen any of them yet. So I still don't know what to make of this Kagan girl.
Wow. What an amazingly poor choice on just about every conceivable level.
I'm sold on her from this alone. Team Jurisprudence!
She is SO out of there!
*slide whistle
She then followed up with "great taste?" or "less filling?"
i feel abe's input is needed here.
USA! USA!
Minnesota produces some strange political birds.
I would have asked: spanx or briefs?
I KNOW…between this and Franken doing his little sketches, Bachmann ends up looking good.
Wait. No she doesn't. She's still a douche.
She couldn't ask her about vagazzling?
I know I shouldn't be OK with this but I kind of love it more than words can express. Here's hoping the future litmus test for SCOTUS nominees will be "Van Halen or Van Hagar?"
I bet you Scalia is a Van Halen III man.
Ouch!
Roberts likes 1984, Kennedy's is For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge, Ginsburg digs OU812, and Stevens only cranks VHI.
She's team Bella.
She knows she's got a 30+ year career in the Senate if she wants it. Being a non-dumb DFL senator is as much of a lifetime appointment as SCOTUS.
