Sen. Graham Makes With The Jokes

I've been listening to the Alito hearings (good times) and they just had another laughter break. After Sen. Feingold and Sen. Hatch were quickly cross-questioning Alito about the Vanguard conflict, Sen. Graham's turn for questioning came up (he's still on now, discussing prisoners of war and the protection of laws during wartime). Before he began, and taking a cue from the Feingold/Hatch questioning, Sen. Graham said:

"I hope if any of us come before the Court and we can't remember Abramoff, you will believe us."

Wocka wocka wocka!

A round of temporary laughter followed by all in the room. Ohh Congress.

[PS- A good post by Glenn Greenwald on why it will hurt the Democrats to "meekly accept defeat on Alito"]
