But frankly, I gave up giving a rat's rear end what he thought about anything to do with the Supreme Court over a year ago. Arguably, the biggest reason the White House thinks it's forced to make idiotic political calculations and put up "stealth" nominees is the fact that Snarlin' Arlen Specter is <B>still</B> the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, despite the best efforts of conservatives first to defeat him in the Pennsylvania Republican primary by backing Pat Toomey, and then to strip him of the chair after the 2004 elections. And who was the biggest general leading the charge against both these uprisings, claiming that their foot-soldiers were rending the GOP apart? <B><I>Hugh bleeping Hewitt!!</B></I> As far as I'm concerned, Hewitt can eat my shorts.Kathy Hutchinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851875819094837357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-1129349569411122032005-10-15T00:12:00.000-04:002005-10-15T00:12:00.000-04:00That is an acceptable philosophy for fungi.
