Watching the hearings today I was impressed by Samuel Alito’s polite, yet slightly interested expression through most of it-but you just know he couldn’t be that interested. So I put on my mind-reading hat and here is what I sense Alito was thinking:
“Maybe blue will go good in the living room.”
“I put up with this to move to one of the most expensive real estate markets in the country?!”
“Oh, I shouldn’t have eaten the chili last night!”
“If I have to listen to one more Senator lecture me about the nature of democracy I’ll…” (Brainwaves got garbled here.)
“Too bad I can’t TIVO Congress!”
“Now that you mention machine guns Sen. Feinstein…”
“Man, I could use a shot of whatever Sen. Kennedy had before he came in here.”
