What I missed.

Since I was without media most of last week, I've been trying to play catch up on the second half of the Alito confirmation hearings. Looks like I didn't miss much. Ol' Teddy made Mrs. Alito cry? Sounds about right - I told you it would be a total smear campaign. The Judge has this one in the bag.

The Senate Dems in these hearings become such caricatures of themselves that there are only two possible ways to stomach them: either with a shot of humor or a laxative. The ever brilliant Peggy Noonan chooses the former in a wonderful op-ed piece that first appeared last week. Read it, and I guarantee that you'll at least smile, if not laugh out loud on multiple occasions.
