Dems had their chance to pick justice

The '88 election, I think you might mean. I think it is overlooked; I see that election as the first nail in the coffin. 2000 was the last nail. They've been scratching at the lid ever since.

[Paulus Invictus]

I agree with your assessment re the '86 election, but the two elections of the Felon and his evil spouse were far more destructive to the nation.

[BibChr]

Oh, GAAAAHHHHH!

Zathras not good with numbers!

Yeah, well... uh, 2000 minus four is 1996... 1996 minus four is 1992... um... that's what I meant to type! Keyboard malfunction! Yeah, that's the ticket!

Steyn ping!

Richard Cohen, big-time columnist in that bastion of mainstream media, the Washington Post. And his first thought, on learning the name of President Bush's Supreme Court nominee, is of hanging chads.

It should be noted that, for the sake of information and his craft (or maybe just looking for something good to make fun of) Steyn subjects himself to Richard Cohen's columns. I haven't been able to stomach that idiot's writing for at least 10 years. Steyn must really care about his work to put himself through that!

[grellis]

LMBO! I love it! Back to the coffee pot with both of us!!

[DCPatriot]

BAM!!!

Another one deep into the 2nd level deck.

[hattend]

Excellent

Steyn Rocks BTTT

[JoeSixPack1]

In the words of leading Democratic thinker Nancy Pelosi,...

ROFLMAO!!!

[Gritty]

BTTT

The Democrats drew exactly the wrong lesson from their chad fever. If the case teaches anything, it's the importance of winning at the ballot box, which you do by promoting clear ideas confidently stated. The Dems prefer to leave it to the Divine Right of Judges. You might too if you believed in gay marriage and partial-birth abortion, but, simply as a matter of practical politics, it's disastrous for the party. Poor sad Richard Cohen, unabletomoveon.org after five years, is a fine emblem for the Democrats: Ask not for whom the chad hangs, it hangs for thee.

FANTASTIC!!

Steyn BUMP!

[Peach]

Steyn at his best.

Bob Beckel, Democratic strategist, has said that the DNC is going to save their money fighting the SCOTUS nominee and use it instead to destroy Karl Rove.

[ohioWfan]

Good!

I hope they DO waste their money trying to destroy an innocent man in an age when people can actually find out the truth outside of MSM brainwashing, and let us get our originalist judges!

Good choice, dims...........for US, that is!

[prairiebreeze]

bump, read later

[hang 'em]

Whom the gods would destroy they first make chads.

Chuckling all morning to that one!

[Txsleuth]

Unfortunately, because of the lib MSM, most Americans never heard La Pelosi's idiotic comparison between God and the SCOTUS!!!!

I wouldn't have, if I weren't a Freeper!

Mary Steyn is the BEST!

[COUNTrecount]

Steyn-O-Mite. Thanks.

[Experiment 6-2-6]

Whom the gods would destroy they first make chads.

STEYN at his best..

[SerpentDove]

>>[Pelosi] was talking about "eminent domain" not Bush vs. Gore, but you can't have it both ways: It can't be the Word of God one day and merely "Bush's daddy's pals" the next. <<

KA-BOOOOOOOM!!!!

Or, as the Brits say, "Spot on."

[Rummyfan]

Schumer's line was that, as a judge, Roberts had too thin a paper trail. His message seemed to be: Look, we Dems have the finest oppo-research boys in the business and, if we can't get any dirt on this guy, that must mean it's buried real deep and is real bad; the very fact that we can't get anything on him is in itself suspicious. Etc., etc.

And the Dems kept him off the bench for years, thereby diminishing that paper trail even more. As ye sow, so shall ye reap, Schmuckie!

Thanks Pokey!
