WEll, there is also the incredibly unethical, yet successful, Gerrymandering of the Texas state legislature, the unlawfu use of the DEpartment of Homeland Security and attempted unlawful use of the FAA to ensure that the gerrymandering would occur, the fact that he has been caught numerous times trading money or votes for votes on his pet projects, the fact that he is an idiot, the way he tried to make the Schiavo thing about him....

I could go on for quite some time, but there's now this really badf taste in my mouth.

Bilmore was only listing sins. He sees those as virtues. Sorta like your view on free trade.

(I'm kidding, okay?)

Yes You Would.

Coming soon, WWSCD tee shirts!

Is Delay (a) really that clueless that he's got concerns about internet research of precedent, the concept of the common law or looking to see how other countries resolve certain issues or (b) just playing to the unwashed, uneducated masses who are the only ones keeping him in office?

I am pretty open to hearing about different perspectives on a lot of issues, but I almost automatically write someone off when he starts ranting about "activist judges" and the need to reign them in.

DeLay
 

Wasn't the internet research thing, that Kennedy did it himself, rather than the fact of using the internet?

DeLay
 

Even if, so . . . .? He's a heathen because he's internet-literate?

(As I said before, I agree that Kennedy's reliance on his own factual interpretation of how "attitudes have changed here", coupled with his "lookie at what the french say!" international survey, are bullshit. But where Delay gets this internet thing is just beyond me.)

Next week we'll hear that Kennedy squeezes the produce at Safeway.

And puts it back.

I've heard that the consensus is that they're looking to groom someone from either Latin America or Africa, and this is clearly an interim pope.

Rats and Zingers
 

Because they expect him to retire as he has said before he would, or because they expect him to die? Do Popes retire?

Rats and Zingers
 

I prefer the term "rebound pope".

That he knows how to use google does not make him literate. And knowing what not to accept as fact from the internet is not so easy. I know seemingly smart people who take various unsupported rants from the net, and try and use them as fact (e.g. Tyrone Slothrop )

not wishing to question their motives for using these lies, I will assume it is simple dull-wittedness.

DeLay
 

Ah, so the complaint was that his internet research was shoddy, and relied on bad sources? That would make more sense. I had the impression that the complaint was that he knew his own WL password.

DeLay
 

He does his own grocery shopping? I say, impeach the fucker already.

DeLay
 

The quotes I've seen don't say "and he does Internet research poorly," just "he does his own Internet research." I mean, I don't wanna accuse Hank of saying anything less than perfectly true, but before you accept it you might request a cite. (Hank does his own internet research, of course, so YMMV.)

DeLay
 

Arguably it would, but I've not hear this anywhere. If that's the complaint, then allege incompetence -- it wouldn't matter whether the research were via Lexis or hardcopy. Of course, we tend to let SC justices work until the can hardly read anymore, so this particular complaint would seem to move the bar a bit.

This was my impression too.
