I'm confused. If a man can get a vasectomy without government interference, why can't a woman get an abortion without government interference? (or what is the difference between regulating what passes through the fallopian tubes and not regulating what passes through the vas deferens tubes?)
Are there any government regulations concerning the male reproductive system?
Why wasn't Alito asked these questions?

Rush Limbaugh, Babe Magnet, Declares Women Like Sexual Harassment
On his radio program, Rush Limbaugh asked the women in his audience: "How many of you in the secrecy and privacy of your own dreams and hopes would love to be hired as eye candy?"
Later in the broadcast, Limbaugh returned to the subject when he said:
LIMBAUGH: I'm not talking -- I know how many of you want to be sexually harassed -- that's not what I was asking. But, I mean, I -- if, if, if somebody wants to hire you to look good for whoever is the first to walk in the door every day, why not, if that's your asset?

Almost Alito
After listening to Sammy and reading his memos and his job applications I would hope that THAT DAY is now. After all, how much more of a dire threat to the Republic do the Dems need? Alito is a liar - he can't 'remember 'his time in the Concerned Alumni for Princeton, but he can remember where and why he used a f*cking semi-colon on a written opinion? Where's the outrage with that?
"Have you been watching the Alito Supreme Court nomination hearings? The Democrats are upset, they're crazy, they're already accusing him of giving vague, contradictory answers. And Alito was on that, he shot back, 'Maybe, maybe not.'" --David Letterman

Scarborough Spins and Spins...
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough characterized a factually accurate statement by Howard Dean -- that no congressional Democrats had received campaign contributions from lobbyist Jack Abramoff -- as a "snow job," and falsely claimed that The Washington Post and "other news outlets" had proven Dean's statement wrong. In fact, Dean's statement in an appearance on CNN was entirely accurate, and neither CNN nor the Post has challenged or refuted it.
