Great Alito roundup.

Update: Frickin' morons. Remember the kerfuffle about Alito's alleged membership with that "horrible" CAP organization? Yeah, guess that was yet another one they couldn't make stick. Idiots.

Specter said committee staff members and representatives of Kennedy finished examining the files at 2 a.m. today, reviewing more than four boxes of documents concerning CAP.

"Judge Alito's name never appeared in any document," Specter said. It was not mentioned in any letters to or from the group's founder or executive director, did not appear on any canceled checks for subscriptions, was nowhere to be found on any articles, lists of board members or contributors, and was not in any minutes or attendance records from CAP meetings," Specter said.

He quoted CAP founder William Rusher as saying: "I have no recollection of Samuel Alito at all. He certainly was not very heavily involved in CAP, if at all."

Of course Kennedy still wastes no time being a gasbag on ANY topic, much less when he's proven wrong:
On the CAP controversy, Kennedy said: "I am pleased that Judge Alito distanced himself from its repulsive anti-woman, anti-black, anti-disability, anti-gay pronouncements, views that were especially pronounced at the time that Judge Alito believes he joined. But we still do not have a clear answer to why Judge Alito joined this reprehensible group in the first place."
"Distanced himself"? Did you listen to Specter OR the founder, Mr. Rusher? Do you even recollect what Alito said about joining to protest ROTC issues? He was NEVER "involved" you moron.



For those of you that are still awake and paying attention, Pajamas Media has a fantastic roundup of bloggers from all over the place who are awake and paying very CLOSE attention to the circus...I mean proceedings.

"Bloviating senators, whack-a-pol politics, and just for Uncle Teddy, a drinking game or two. Join Pajamas Media bloggers in a special place we call Mondo Alito, where anything can happen..."
Good stuff...and while you're there, take a minute to peruse other categories. Better than technorati, in my opinion!
