      1. Lindsay Graham apparently believes that Sotomayor is seeking confirmation as Secretary of State, asking her "What did September 11 mean to you?" and "Do you believe we are at war?"

      "Do you believe that there are people out there who are plotting to harm us?" Yes, there are forty of them serving in the US Senate, you moron.

      2. I'm sick to death of hearing Graham lecture this woman, who has more intelligence, integrity and honesty in her little finger than he has in his entire doughy body, about her "wise Latina" comments.

      3. Jeff Sessions must have falled out of a time machine about thirty years ago. Shouldn't he be organizing the Confederate assault on Little Round Top? Or at least the kidnapping of Emmett Till for whistling at a white woman?

      These guys are beyond contemptible. Every moment they talk, they alienate everyone with any common sense and dignity.

      Too bad he didn't note that a couple of months ago.
