Democrats on the Alito hearings - the lamest excuses I've ever heard

these are enough to gag a maggot... leading up to the hearings, you have plenty of time to educate the public and your constitutents, you have plenty of time to research and assemble your arguments... then, when the most dangerous supreme court nominee in the nation's history is right there in front of you, you have an unparalleled opportunity to exercise leadership, the kind of leadership this country is desperate for... and, now that you've blown it, THIS is what you have to say...? pathetic and disgusting...

• "They have made a lot of progress. I hate to say they're done because Lord only knows what's next. They have achieved a large part of their objective."

• "The only thing that will fix this is a Democratic president and more vacancies. It takes a long time to make these kinds of changes and it's going to take a long time to undo them."

• "You either need a Democratic president, a Democratic Senate or moderate Republicans who will break ranks when it's a conservative nominee. We don't have any of those three. The only tool we have is the filibuster."

• "As long as most of the public will settle for evasive or uninformative answers, maybe there was nothing that they could have done to get Alito to make a major error."

• "Had she not cried, we would have won that day."

• "Obviously, we didn't do a very good job."

• "Alito was pretty successful at getting through this maze."

• "There were very few principles on which we could all agree."

• "These issues are so sophisticated - half the Senate didn't know what the unitary presidency was."

• "The whole process has become so politicized that I think the American people walk away more confused about the way these people stand."

• "Win. Win in 2006."

• "George Bush won the election. If you don't like it, you better win elections."

waiter...! WAITER...! is it possible to get a different set of companions at my table...?
