The Three Stooges of the Senate

Mark Steyn has a great column today analyzing the behavior of the democrats during last week’s Alito hearings: Ham-handed Dems didn’t lay a glove on Alito.

The boy who cried “Wolf!” at least took the precaution of doing so when there was no alleged predator in view. If he’d stood there crying “Wolf!” while pointing at a hamster, he’d have been led away for counseling. That’s the stage the Senate Democrats are at.

I continue to be amazed at the pickle the democrats are putting themselves in. Pandering to the radical, Bush-hating left continues to cost them support from those they most need if they wish to recapture majorities in congress or win the Presidency. They weren’t able to find anything wrong with Alito, and managed to make themeslves look utterly foolish and clueless in the process.

Sen. Kennedy (D-Mass.): “I find it, uh, troubling, uh, that as a, uh, grown man you were a, uh, member, uh, of an, uh, organization, uh, with, uh, a, uh, very troubling, uh, track record on, uh, the treatment of, uh, women.”

Coming from Ted Kennedy no less.

Schumer, Kennedy, and Biden last week put on a political vaudeville act. I think of them now as the Three Stooges of the Senate.
