Found yesterday in Salon.com, a quote by Manuel Miranda, former aide to Bill Frist, and his opposition to the nomination of Sotomayor to the Supreme Court:
"She has a temper," Miranda said this afternoon after a Heritage Foundation event. "She has an attitude. She could come across as hubristic in the hearings, as arrogant. And so she could Bork herself."

The shifty look in their eyes gives it away. They are out of power and boy howdy, are they afraid. Secondly, there's nothing like hypocrisy for the Republicans; it's practically their true name any more.
We need to keep on pointing and laughing. It's the only way to drive them out.
