What can we look for in the up-coming Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Dick Morris-look-alike winner Elena Kagan? Here's my forecast.
Senator Leahy (pictured below):
"We are ready to begin. Ms Kagan, would you put down that sandwich, please? Do you have an opening statement?"
Kagan: "Yes, thank you, Senator. I would like everybody to go to www.Dick Morris.com...."
Leahy: "Uh, thank you. Ms Kagan, your detractors in the Republican Party, who are playing mean-spirited, partisan politics, say you are unqualified to sit on the Supreme Court. Would you like to reply?"
Kagan: "I talk about that in chapter 1 of my book....."
Leahy: "Yes, yes, but how do you stand on a woman's right to choose?"
Kagan: "We must always have free choice; BLT, peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese....I remember once when Hillary Clinton, thinking I would never betray her confidence, told me......"
Leahy: "Thank you, thank you, I yield to the senator from Pennsylvania, Mr Specter."
Specter: "Ms Kagan, as you know, no one has fought harder for women's rights that I have. Along those lines, I want to ask you about that new Arizona immigration law. Do you think it's constitutional?"
Kagan: "Well, Senator. I don't know if I should comment on a matter that well may come before the court. I think I'll wait to make a comment until our attorney general has had a chance to read it before I form an opinion and vote to throw it out."
Leahy: Thank you, if there are no objections, I move that we approve the nomination of Ms Kagan at this time. Ms Kagan, you are excused."
Kagan: "Thank you. May I finish my sandwich now? I won it on a bet from Bill O'Reilly."

Gary, your self-portraits border on x-rated, or at least r-rated. They're not good family entertainment.
(I wouldn't generally make such a snide remark, you generally merit a thoughtful response even when you are obviously wrong, but this is beyond childish, and, quite unrelated to the subject matter, mildly revolting. Also, its not edifying.)
Siarlys,
Are you sure you're commenting on the right posting?
Yup, I'm calling you a horse's rear end. I wouldn't generally do that, but you posted so many of them, it was very suggestive.
Incidentally, I, like a large number of Americans, believe that I myself would be the best choice for the Supreme Court, able to apply the common sense of the Constitution while keeping a sharp eye on what any given ruling would mean for the real lives of American citizens. But, since I wasn't considered, with some reservations, I consider Kagan far from the worst choice available.
"Yup, I'm calling you a horse's rear end. I wouldn't generally do that, but you posted so many of them, it was very suggestive."
I am amazed by how many of my readers see some sort of sexual connotation to the picture of a horse's rear end.
What I suggested is that Leahy and Specter are jerks. What suggestion do you get out of it?
Nothing sexual. Just that you're being a jerk, in this instance. There doesn't have to be a sexual connotation to find a horse's rear end distasteful. In some ways, it may be a bit more gross than pornography.
