Harvard Law professor Larry Tribe writes a letter to President Obama advising him to not select Judge Sotomayor (“not as smart as she seems to think she is”) to fill Justice Breyer’s vacancy on the Supreme Court, as well as dissing some other Justices.

Tribe then responds to the New York Times via email with blah blah words words about how he holds said Justices in the “highest regard” and:

I regret any contrary implication some may try to draw from my letter, taken out of context.

Taken out of context? The obviously unsolicited letter was leaked in full, in a pdf, letterhead to signature. What other context is there? And to top it off, in the last paragraph he tells the President how awesome he is and comes right out and asks for a job.

How embarrassing.

Where Do Democrats Go Next? »

Soon-to-retire Senator Evan Bayh:

It is clear that Democrats over-interpreted our mandate. Talk of a “political realignment” and a “new progressive era” proved wishful thinking.

That’s quite an understatement.

October Surprise?

These are probably not what the Democrats were looking for a week prior to an election:

Aid to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid lied to the feds about false marriage to a terror suspect.

A request for an ethics investigation for “Please call me Senator” Barbara Boxer.

One week to go…

P.J. O’Rourke:

Power has been trapped, abused and exploited by Democrats. Go to the ballot box and put an end to this abusive relationship.

P.J. is full up, as always.

I worked so hard for that title…

I do know of one way no one has to call her Senator anymore.
