That's about right

The whole confirmation process is so much bullshit. The first day was literally taken up by Senators performing blowjobs on themselves. And then yesterday it was mostly equivocal answers on stupid questions. The villagers favorite was among the banalities as Gail Collins points out:

SENATOR LINDSEY GRAHAM: Judge, before I read a string of anonymous comments about your temperament problem, I’d like to make you repeat that wise Latina remark again just for the heck of it.


JUDGE SOTOMAYOR: Thank you, Senator, for the opportunity to revisit that matter. I appreciate that the man who once said he’d drown himself if North Carolina went for Obama has a special contribution to make when it comes to the importance of thinking before you speak.

And yes, Lindsey Graham, Gilligan to John McCain's Skipper, did indeed say something like that. Yet, as always for a Republican, there is no consequence.
