PJM has a special page for Alito coverage that's quite good. Roger Simon calls Ted Kennedy a "hatchet man," which is putting it kindly. The Democrats are trying to get some synergy going, trying to make people pay attention to the proceedings, trying to make Alito tie himself up. It's a risk that's not working. Instead they're making themselves look like petty smear artists. Watching Ted Kennedy read quotes from a newspaper Alito may never have read let alone wrote for must be recognizable by any fair-minded person as being an unfair ploy for headlines -- the very definition of smear. Of course it doesn't matter to Kennedy. That desicated apple-head will die in office. The voters of Massachusetts will keep putting him back in place even if he murders someone...oops.

And they wonder why people disrespect Washington. People respect it when they see others getting a fair shake, even between two people who may disagree. Teddy Kennedy and otheres aren't giving Sam Alito a fair shake, and most people can see that. Unfortunately, that's what you get when politicians know they'll never be held to account.
