I wish Republicans would learn that when they take the F'ers head on, they usually look great! I have been so proud of Arlen Specter and Lindsay Graham (i usually am pissed at them for being RINOs) this week. Lindsay Graham has been absolutely fabulous!

Yeah, Lindsay can well up with tears with the best of them.

Some blogs are saying Kennedy has entered into the record the response from Specter to the letter that Specter said he never got.

And I'd add this: I agree Kennedy was over the top. But the question is worthy. Alito put on a job application to the Reagan White House that he was a member of CAP. That was several years after graduation. And at the same time, CAP had gotten lots of publicity about its strident slurs on women, gays, blacks, and hispanics. The Wall Street Journal -- not exactly a liberal rag -- even editorialized against it. Whereas I'm personally inclined to take Alito at his word when he says those points of view are not reflective of his own, nevertheless I find it really hard to believe that, given the wide publicity CAP had received, and given that he listed it as one of only two groups he belonged to, he simply can't recall now ever being a member. Whatever else is true, THAT simply stretches credulity.

Actually, I agree with you, Dr. Sid. I think it's a little sketchy with the "I don't recall," nonsense.

Just say you were a member because of the ROTC issue and that you had no idea there were such wicked people working on the publication of CAP's magazine.
