Place yer bets!

Looks like the Roberts confirmation hearings are a go for Monday. Place your bets now on who will get the award for "Most Asinine Question." I guess my money's on Schumer, but you can never really write off Orrin Hatch when it comes to these things.

I remember during the Souter hearings when Hatch was prattling on and on, asking Souter whether he could truly empathize with the struggles and difficulties facing the American family since he was a (ahem) lifelong bachelor. I was screaming at the television, "That's not his job! His job is to interpret the written law!"

I swear, I would have paid a thousand bucks to hear Souter respond, "Well, Senator, I don't breed like a Mormon jackrabbit, if that's what you mean."

Alas, I was disappointed.
