boggs,

Inhoff is not a good Christian.  No conservative could be a good Christian, as no conservative has any concern for the common majority population.

Inhofe is nothing more than a bigot from Oklahoma.
He thinks the neo-cons pulled off a real deal when they tore down the american economy, shredded the constitution, and made all his cronies rich, now he’s scared to death of having a “colorful” white-house and Supreme Court. And all this makes him a good christian.

No irony in a factual statement, you didn’t say Yoo has just the same as endorsed Sotomayor, you said Yoo has just endorsed Sotomayor!, big difference.  So are you saying you just made that up?  Geez.
*************************************************

Since you like to pompously lecture and spout definitions like an old B&W movie professor wearing a mortarboard, I suggest you add to your list two or three words:

1) “IRONY”
2) “SATIRE”
3) “HUMOR”

While you are at it, add “Non-Sequitor” because non-sequitor is the foundation of all humor.

Boy, being a pompous @$$3ole makes you look really dumb.

Inherit The Wind says CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN John Yoo, the “I’m not a crook” lawyer endorsed Judge Sotomayor, which throws up some flags for me as to why he would do that? Because Yoo’s endorsement, unless it’s code, could hurt her more than help her, especially with democratic minded people.
************************************************

What I TRIED to say was Yoo’s attacks on Sotomayor (and they have been vicious) were tantamount to an endorsement because the vast majority of Americans see him as a fascist little worm, so whatever HE attacks deserves a second look and may be pretty good.

Sometimes irony doesn’t fly over big here at TD….(sigh)

From where I’m standing the world would be a much better (and safer) place if anyone with testosterone was banned from holding any political or judicial office at all. All this crap about empathy only documents that men like Inhofe don’t have any and distrust anyone who does. You only have to look at the Bush administration’s inept and destructive ‘handling’ of North Korea to see how testosterone gets in the way of rational thought. There are too many other examples to list.

so the republicans can be led by christianity, but the democrats can’t rule by their gender, race, or political preferences?

Poor, pitiful Oklahoma.  Why do the good people of that state continue to send this buffoon back to represent them year after year?

ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT LATINA JUSTICE, AHHHHHHH!!!!!
Listen You PUSSY GALORES, no one Justice can control the Bench- not even Roberts. So pull your panties down from around your Waists.
As for her very Insightful Reality that any Female can have a better innate comprehension to the woes of most people- get over it. Little FYI Woman not only were Ordained by God to be the Bearers of Life and Nurturers of It- You males have been happy to delegate that to Us Too. We are Far better Caregivers and nurturers than YOU- according to You and apparently in the Eyes of God.
So will she empathize with the side of any case which may have an more profound effect upon the ‘Human Element’ -DAMN RIGHT she will because the Constitution and the Bill of Rights was Written SOLELY for ‘WE THE PEOPLE’!
How can any Person Claim to have Faith or Revernce if they Scoff at Empathy?? Further Who can claim To be a True American who Rejects the Value of Empathy in OUR society? What the hell do you think Our Founders Waged a Revolutiojnary War to Free US of ..A heartless Greedy Monarchy.Sounds alot like our Present day Corps who consider their Logos to Be priviledged Family Crests. so yes we want,Demand and have the Right to,  someone who empathizes with “WE THE PEOPLE”!!!
The Repugs have not only proven to be RED COATS, but hypocrits and heretics.

“Imhofe” just doesn’t sound like an American name like mine (Wood).  My family got here in 1634, and we’ve tried to fend off the Krauts, Micks, Dagoes, Squareheads, Hymies, Polacks, Honyocks, and other riff-raff ever since.

The republicans will make this a sideshow distraction to change the public’s focus from the past administrations torture position and the inevitable (hopeful) investigations.

Well, well, another petty, frightened old white man.

Humm, they’ve been asking themselves this question for several years now, though I don’t know why, since the answer is pretty clear by now…more fuckin dumb than there has previously been a word for.

Kinda depressing, eh?

When our friends and enemies abroad hear this man speak, they must collectively wonder:

Inhoffe may actually be the only person in the Senate more ignorant and stupider than Jim Bunning of Kentucky.  You have to go to the House and idiots like Michelle Bachman, or to Sarah Palin to top him.

Does the repug party really think it is a good idea to permit this friggin moron to be their point man?

Why not just bring back that idiot Gingrich, Oh, sorry, too late.
