Decency? What decency?

By Aussiegirl

Thomas Lifson asks the 64 thousand dollar question: do the Democrats have any sense of decency left, and rightly points out that in all the hot air spilled over minutiae of stare decisis and Roe v Wade, what was clearly understood by the average viewer catching the headlines on the evening news or the top of the hour on the drive home was that relentless hectoring and false accusations of bigotry against her beloved husband finally led one decent woman to react with honesty in completely human way.

Lifson also catches the media in another falsehood, pretending that it was Lindsey Graham's APOLOGY for the despicable behavior which was somehow responsible for Mrs. Alito's tears.

Lies, upon lies, upon lies. There seems to be no end, and no bottom, to the bottomless well of Democrat liberal desperation.

The American Thinker

Most Americans were not glued to their televisions yesterday watching the Alito confirmation hearings. But today a substantial portion of the electorate is aware that Judge Alito’s wife Martha-Ann Bomgardner was driven to tears, as Senator Lindsey Graham apologized to the nominee and his family for the hectoring and smearing he and they had endured.

It was one of those moments which encapsulate a complex drama, speaking to common (and noble) human emotions. Anyone who has ever stoically attempted to control the deep pain of seeing a loved one suffering or under stress knows that the merest expression of sympathy is enough to burst the dam, and let the cathartic tears flow.

All of us who love, who have watched our loved ones under duress, and who have received support understand Martha-Ann Bomgardner, even if the subtleties of the theory of the unitary executive and stare decisis elude us.

The network news honchos, for all their liberal bias, know that “If it bleeds it leads,” and in this case, “If it cries, it flies.”

The Judiciary Committee Democrats have disgraced themselves.
