If the words...

...exist that can define the Frog's 'disgruntledness', Ann Coulter can usually find them. To quote from this week's quotable essay...


Only because of the grassroots revolt against Miers were Republicans in Washington finally forced to face their worst nightmare.


Terror, thy name is Samuel Alito. Or as he is now known: "Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito."


The New York Times recently described the Republican campaign to get Alito on the court as a calculated strategy similar to Gen. Eisenhower's execution of the Normandy invasion. The meticulous plan, according to the Times, was mapped out by a secret conspiracy of Republicans similar to the Illuminati, also known as "the same weenies who gave us Harriet Miers."


According to Times reporter David Kirkpatrick, the weenies "laid out a two-part strategy to roll out behind whomever the president picked, people present said. The plan: First, extol the nonpartisan legal credentials of the nominee, steering the debate away from the nominee's possible influence over hot-button issues. Second, attack the liberal groups they expected to oppose any Bush nominee."


At no point in the article exposing the secret Republican plan did Kirkpatrick mention that the nominee ignored the plan. Sam Alito was a walking hot-button issue. I believe his sainted mother's remarks put a quick end to the Republicans' genius "stealth" campaign. Alito is everything Washington weenies have been petrified of since – well, probably since the Bork nomination.


And yet, despite the NARAL ladies running around Capitol Hill with machetes, Alito was confirmed by the Senate in the exact same 58-42 vote that Robert Bork got (except reversed this time!).


That's what happens when you win elections. No wonder Democrats don't get this – they've only won a couple of elections in the last quarter-century.


Finding words again!
