Althouse: "Fill Souter's shoes with a genial persuader."

May 4, 2009

"Fill Souter's shoes with a genial persuader."

Op-ed title.

Makes me wonder: Were they suede shoes?

Don't step on my blue persuader shoes.

That's a politcally correct ``her,'' the mark of a revised thought.

A revision too hastily made, because it turns out to mean further that women can't persuade a conservative of anything, no doubt because of women being led around by emotions and mood swings.; 5/4/09, 4:41 PM

Sofa King said...: You know what would be funnier is to fill Souter's shoes with shaving cream. That's always good for a laugh.; 5/4/09, 4:50 PM

That sounds like an affectionate name for either a gun or a sex toy.

(And no, I don't think they could be the same thing.); 5/4/09, 5:12 PM

There's gotta a be another right wing sleazeball like Scalia out there...some where.

Isn't that really what the majority her want?

Ain't gonna happen.; 5/4/09, 9:33 PM

hdhouse said...: "persuader"...

Would it do any good? Can Scalia be persuaded? Doubtful at best. I'm trying to think of recent decisions where the right side of the panel didn't vote as a block of 4.

Unless the "persuader" is armed with infinite patience and a baseball bat, the vote is always going to be 4 to something unless the new pick has troubling pictures of the swing justice on a farm.; 5/5/09, 5:00 AM
