Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Jeff Sessions (R-AL) debate President Obama’s forthcoming Supreme Court nomination on Meet the Press, opposite the very simian David Gregory, and it occurs to me that TiVo is a blessed thing, allowing me to skip past this empty political dance, in which Sessions claims not to understand simple statements, all to maintain maximum maneuverability once nominee is announced, and of course avoid admitting there’s a personal/issue-based litmus test he (and Republicans) would/will apply.

Also, apropos of nothing, it just occurred to me — if Gene Keady’s hair had a blog, I would totally read that.
