Gettiing his diaper in a twist

Oh, this is rich:

Addressing the DC lawyers chapter of the conservative legal group, the Federalist Society, [David] Vitter got right down to red meat. After quoting comments from President Obama suggesting that he'd like his judicial nominees to be able to empathize with the downtrodden, Vitter declared that demanding empathy in a judge was something you'd expect in a "dictatorship."

Yes, those "touchy-feely" empathetic dictatorships in history.

Vitter apparently read "1984" and thought Ol' Winston Smith got a "happy ending".

Oh, right, how silly of me. Vitter reading a book, it is to laugh.
