Give Me a Break

Christopher at After School Snack:

Does this mean “garlic eater” is off limits?

They've gotta be kidding - the wingnuts are saying lib'ruhls hate Alito because of his ethnicity!

Earlier today on Fox News, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), a member of the Judiciary Committee, followed Matt Drudge’s lead and implied that opponents of Samuel Alito’s nomination may be motivated by Alito’s ethnicity. He warned senators “to be very careful here,” because a vote against Alito would be “held against them” by Italian-Americans…
Hey, dimwits—don’t project your idiotic measuring sticks onto us. That ain’t the way we roll. I don’t give a rat’s tit if Alito is a straight white guy or a wheelchair-bound, multi-ethnic, queer deaf-mute with a glass eye. Anyone who wants to curb our rights is a turd onto which no amount of polish can be applied to make him look pretty.

Of course, I’ll never have the chance to prove it, since your grand dragon president is as about as likely to nominate a wheelchair-bound, multi-ethnic, queer deaf-mute with a glass eye to the Supreme Court as such a person would be likely to have the same despicable legal philosophy as a good ol’ boy like Alito does, anyway.

(And btw, nice attempt to disguise—as a “warning to Democrats”—a reassurance to the racist peabrains among your supporters that the vaguely swarthy Alito is, indeed, white.)
