Animal House/Senate?
Lindsey Graham, GOP Senator from South Carolina, on the upcoming hearings to replace Supreme Court Justice O'Connor:
"Can we have a confirmation process that will hold the Senate up to the world and the nation as a deliberative body made up of men and women who are serious about their job, or will it break down into some food fight?" Mr. Graham asked. "I really think the Senate's reputation is at stake as much as anything else."I agree with Graham's conclusion, although probably not from the same perspective. If a kid walks into a high-school cafeteria wearing a sign saying, "Please do not throw food at me," he probably deserves what he's going to get.
