Fugelsang!

Lindsey Graham is the first person to audition to be the next Attorney General by doing a Lady MacBeth monologue. ~ John Fugelsang



Come, let me clutch thee! I have thee not, and yet I see thee still, and on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of Trump which was not so before . . . uh, wait . . .

Good observation on MSNBC ---

If a female nominee had shouted and cried and cross-talked the senators, she'd have been taken out in a straight jacket.

Sorry, didn't catch the name of the person who said it.

We aren't seeing it.

Umbrage on steroids (Kavanaugh, who else)

My goodness, but Kavanaugh seems loudly pissed that he has not yet been canonized.

To be sure, after this weepy lecturing, complete with the missus imitating the distaff Alito, the questioning should be “interesting”. Namely, will Rachel Mitchell again speak on behalf of the Republicans, or will they do their own verbal fellating?

"Winston"

One day, way back in my bartending days, I went to fetch a bottle of wine from the back room at the hotel bar where I’d just started working. Coming back into the bar I was startled to see Winston Churchill settling onto a seat at the bar. Very nattily dressed and somewhat soft-spoken, he smiled and ordered the first of several cocktails. There was no chance for any further conversation, seeing as how there were many other customers requiring my attention.

Several hours later the hotel’s restaurant manager and the head waiter approached “Mr. Churchill”, fished his keys out of his pocket, pinned a piece of paper to his lapel, then stood him up and walked him out the door. After closing, they explained that he was a regular, and that he had requested this routine: he would be placed in a taxi and the driver would be paid up front to deliver him to his front door, the car key would be held at the hotel desk, the note pinned to his jacket told him where to retrieve the key. Such was the kid-glove treatment for a particular federal judge back in the 1970s.
