Such A Great Source of Intertainmment

Misspelling is meant in the title as I refer to the immense amount of joy I get from the lefty rants on the web. James Taranto was on a roll tonight with this lead off to Best Of the Web. I just loved another classic quote from Kos.

Full Nelson

Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska is the first Democrat to say he will vote to confirm Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, and we have updated the influential OpinionJournal tally accordingly. The announcement was not unexpected, for Nelson is the most moderate of all Senate Democrats. Indeed, before the hearings last week there was speculation that Nelson would be the only Democrat to back Alito. That would make the vote 56-44 in favor, assuming all Republicans back the Jersey jurist.
Given that the filibuster is now expressly off the table, that would be the worst possible outcome for the Democrats, who, if they are as smart as even we think they are, will want to ensure that Alito gets at least 60 votes, and probably closer to 65.
This may sound counterintuitive, but it makes excellent sense. A close vote gains the Democrats nothing; Clarence Thomas (confirmed 52-48) is every bit as much a Supreme Court justice as David Souter (90-9). Maybe there's some emotional satisfaction in losing a close one as opposed to being crushed, although presumably if this were the case Walter Mondale would be a raving moonbat and Al Gore a serene statesman.
But the 60-vote threshold is crucial for political reasons. If more than 40 Democrats vote against Alito, the Angry Left will be downright livid. Already they are inflamed. Here is one georgia10, posting on DailyKos.com:

Don't tell me a filibuster isn't warranted when 56% of this nation says Alito
SHOULD be blocked if he'll overturn Roe. Don't tell me a filibuster isn't
warranted when Alito implied Bush could invade Iran without the consent of
Congress. And don't tell me a filibuster isn't warranted when it's my rights, my
body, my way of life on the line.
I keep hearing the Dems needs to "grow a
spine." That we need "angry" Dems, we need Dems with courage. We need Dems with
courage. Well guess what--we HAVE angry Dems, we HAVE courageous Dems. Look in
the damn mirror, people. WE are the party. WE are the Democrats. We're angry, we
spit fire, and our time has come.

If Alito is confirmed 65-35, the georgia10s of the world will turn their wrath on the Democrats (mostly from Republican states, one would think) who vote "yes." But if he's approved 56-44, or 59-41--that is, if enough Democrats oppose him to sustain a filibuster in theory--they will blame the Senate Democrats as a whole, and especially the leadership, for not conducting a filibuster.
In fact, the Democrats will not filibuster because they cannot. Last May's compromise took the tactic off the table until next year. The alternative--and the consequence of filibustering now--is the abolition of the filibuster forever. Such practicalities, however, will not palliate the Angry Left.

I stopped monitoring because as my heading states I welcome free and honest debate. If all you have is Air America talking points and that lazy form of debate, copy paste/one liner, you will not be responded to. I will clarify any point I bring up if asked appropriately. Snarky one liners will be ignored and used as evidence against the loony left. I hope they can share the wisdom behind their ingratiating sense of humor, with the rest of stupid rednecks. Duuhh, where did that wabbit go, please tell me where did he go, gee, gotta love Bugs Bunny. Bugs is my hero, everytime his brilliant opponent had him trapped he weaseled out till he met the tortoise, the conservative movement, and he lost. There are lots of morals in that old tale, I got the name Goat Gruff for a stand on a symbolic bridge against trolls at Bill OReilly's forum, from another of those old fables.
Oh, and Ann Coulter has prepared a nice roast, it is tasty, if you wish to partake, tender and juicy, I just love fresh lamb.

So Hillary Clinton thinks the House of Representatives is being "run like a
plantation." And, she added, "you know what I'm talking about." First of all:
Think about what a weird coincidence it is that Hillary would have made these
remarks in a black church in Harlem on Martin Luther King Day. What are the
odds? Did she even know it was a holiday? Bravely spoken, Senator. I haven't
been this surprised since finding out Hollywood likes a movie about gay
cowboys.As Hillary explained, the House "has been run in a way so that nobody
with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an
argument, to be heard." Yes, that's what was really missing on plantations
during the slavery era: the opportunity to present a contrary view. Gosh, if
only the slaves had been allowed to call for cloture votes. What a difference
that would have made!
