How ironic that the brother of the first Catholic president opposes letting any practicing Catholic (i.e., opposed to abortion) sit on any Federal bench. . .

Excellent point. Plus, where is the Bishop of Boston when you need him?

Fight's on!

"Red Leader, this is Red 1, Blueforce Dirigible sighted at 9 o'clock low"

"Red Leader to Red 1, You are cleared to engage. Be careful, that thing is really full of hot air, and when it blows you'll want to be well away".

I saw the Dune flick a few times... very bizarre... guess I should have read the books.

Now excuse me... I have to read my obligatory 2 pages of Eco's Focult's Pendulum - I will fall asleep in short order.

"Under the Constitution and the Senate Rules, every Senator's hands are on the oars of this vessel. If a substantial number of us are rowing in the opposite direction from the Majority Leader, we will not make much progress.

Kennedy using a nautical methaphor...painful.

Too bad his hands weren't on the oars of his vessel on July 18, 1969.

interesting idea.

I could legally change my name to Mary Jo Kopechne and after getting the proper number of signatures, be placed on the ballot - then we could have numerous debates all over the Commonwealth, and while discussing some matter of state,
I could erupt with "Water! Water! I can't breathe! Help me! Come Back! Come Baaaccckk"!!! Then calmly return to the topic at hand...

see # 69 - what do you think? We could have SEVERAL people change their names to Mary Jo Kopechne, men AND women, and all collect signatures and run for Senator as independents and Republicans and Democrats...that way he's have to debate them all, in the primaries, in the general election...what a hoot! Confronted with Mary Jos every day, and each possibly 'channeling' her at any moment (note to self...hire John Edwards).

''Kennedy's Last Stand''?

Shouldn't that actually be either ''Kennedy's Last Waddle'' or ''Kennedy Abandons PC -- Identifies With Custer''?

Don't ask me. Dune is the only movie I fell asleep watching in the theatre.

Beelz - interesting observation you make.

I also wonder what the heck the author meant when he wrote Perhaps the apparent hypocrisy backfired. Thomas was confirmed.

How about this one from the same author... Kennedy offered this colorful metaphor. "Like sausage and legislation, the confirmation or rejection of a Supreme Court nomination is not always something pleasant to watch or be part of."

Colorful perhaps(but not original, Will Rogers said it years ago) however, a metaphor it is not.

How about an appointee showing up to the hearing wearing a button with Mary Jo's picture on it and having fat teddy or one of his communist colleques asking the candidate what he/she is wearing.

The appointee says a partial birth abortion victim named Mary Jo Kopechne, who suffered a partial birth abortion many years to late at the hands of senator kennedy, who now sits in judgement of me.

Ted will not be available to fight for Mary Jo, however.

Ohhh, good image. Wish I could recall the exact line but something like "Slip the pick in and move it around real slow." Yeesh!
