Dr. Schaff notes that the press is covering all the important stuff when it comes to Judge Alito. Alito, bespectacled, hair askew, suit rumpled and ill-fitting, walked into Sen. Tim Johnson's office this week to pay a courtesy call on...

All in a day's work for our opposition party and its leathery-winged acolytes: "Moral Degenerate," "Motherfu#ker," "draft dodger," "Machine Gun Sammy." And so on. Welcome to politics, Mr. Alito. Technorati: alito, Supreme Court....

Sen. Hatch, Chris Matthews Slam Donk Talking Points!

A talking-points memorandum being circulated by Democrats to friendly media outlets attacks Judge Samuel Alito on the basis of his Italian heritage.

Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch stormed Monday night that the memo was "despicable" and a sign that desperate Democrats are "hysterical" over the Alito nomination.

What's interesting here also, is that Sen. Hatch found out about the memo from MSNBC's Matthews:

Matthews alleged that Democrats are passing around a memorandum that he called a "complaint sheet" about Alito. The cable talk show host said the lead item in the memo claims that as a federal prosecutor, Alito failed to convict members of the Lucchese crime family in a 1988 case. The implication is that because Alito is Italian-American he went easy on the prosecution, or worse.

The Chief has NO hesitation about ripping a strip off the back of the MSM when warranted, but to give credit where credit is due, Chris Matthews made a good play on this one!

An obviously angry Matthews said, "I'm sitting here holding in my hands a pretty disgusting document. This is put out not for attribution, but it comes from the Democrats. They're circulating it; I can say that. The first thing they nail about this Italian-American is he failed to win a mob conviction in a trial ... way back in '88. In other words, they nail him on not putting some Italian mobsters in jail from the family. Why would they bring up this ethnically charged issue as the first item they raise against Judge Alito?

"This is either a very bad coincidence or very bad politics," he added, and warned Democrats that their sneak attack will backfire. "Either way it's going to hurt them. ... Not abortion rights, not civil rights but that he failed to nail some mobsters in 1988 -- this is the top of their list of what they've got against this guy. Amazingly bad politics."

The memo failed to note that Alito won a major prosecution against the Genovese crime family.

The Donks have also damaged their relationship with what has been a sizeable part of what's left of their base:

A. Kenneth Ciongoli, Chairman of the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) on Monday demanded an apology for the media's frequent references to the judge's Italian heritage and the use of the term "Scalito" to describe him as a clone of Justice Antonin Scalia.

What can one say - the Donks ARE getting desperate!

Iranian Animated Film for Children Promotes Suicide Bombings

This has got to be one of the more chilling things that the Chief has seen in some time, made available by MEMRI, the Mid-East Media Research Inst.

Yes, Saturday morning in Iran, and time for the kids to watch cartoons, right? Well, their cartoons are showing a dramatized view of Islamoterr suicide homicide bombers attacking Israel. Of course the Israelis shown act as though they were graduates of the SS, so of course it's great to kill off the Jews.

Islamoterr pulls the pins out on his grenade belt.

MEMRI has the transcript here, but to get the full flavor of the implacable hatred, check out the clip itself. It certainly illustrates how the Islamofascist view of things truly reflects a culture of death.

Talk about caretoons from hell...this is it!

F.E.T.E.

I can't even begin to mount the pile of links and information out there about Plamegate, and I'm fine with that. For one, I don't have the time. For another, tomorrow is supposed to be the big "press conference," so...

The Chief has nothing against former V.P. aide Scooter Libby. He's apparently collateral damage in the Donks' drive to do ANY|THING to taked down Karl (Dartth) Rove(r).

That being said, every time I hear his name in a news report I am reminded of the names of the characters "Tinky Holloway", and "Cuffy Meigs" in Atlas Shrugged. It probably isn't fair to make that association, but...it just uncontrollably happens!

A couple weeks ago I noted a couple stories where left-wing authors made horribly racist comments about African-American Republicans. Today it gets worse. Look at this story about Michael Steele, an African-American Republican running for Senate in Maryland. Here is...
