OK, OK. Criticizing a person’s looks, even when they’re homophobic, is unkind. We apologize. Especially since Blackburn’s hair isn’t even the most outrageous part of this story. It’s what she said about one of President Biden’s judicial nominees during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing that’s truly offensive.

Blackburn said she opposed the nomination of Andre Mathis, who is Black, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit because of his extensive “rap sheet.”

“He has a rap sheet with a laundry list of citations, including multiple failures to appear in court,” she said. “In Tennessee, we expect our judges to respect the law. If Mr. Mathis thought he was above the law before, imagine how he’ll conduct himself if he’s confirmed as a federal judge.”

A rap sheet is a list of someone’s previous arrests and convictions. In Mathis’ case, he doesn’t have any. But he did get three speeding tickets over a decade ago, one of which was for going 5 miles over the speed limit.

...because he might listen to rap music?

[Hassler]

2. Probably. So was Lindseed who sounded like he did on Jan 6. He

Even ran out to get another drink.

3. They don't care if their president is above the law, however.

4. She reminds me of the bus driver on Southpark,

the woman who has a bird's nest in her hair and screeches when she talks.

Mrs. Crabtree!

7. Venal sins are worth being outaged over....

when it is the opposition. Mortal sins by their Party members have to be forgiven. It's an odd world of moral clarity amongst so many immoral people in your Party....but that is the GOP today.

8. If you are righteous and have spoken the truth, why not show up in Court and make your case?

We should keep a score card on Republican-
(1) Depositions missed
(2) 5th Amendment responses that are made.

An interesting web opportunity for someone to create.
