Unborking the Confirmation Process

Hysterical analogy on the EIB network regarding the Alito nomination:

[The Mediacrats] don't control things anymore. They do not have the power anymore. They may think it's their birthright, but they don't have it, and they realize they can't stop this stuff. Their special interest groups, their wackos, their money, they can't stop it because they can't compete with the guys intellectually. It's not a contest... ...If you've seen the opening scene of 2001: A Space Odyssey where the apes start discovering rocks and bones and they beat the hell out of each other... The apes are the Democrats, and that obelisk that pops up out of nowhere in the middle of the ancient murk, that's Alito, and that obelisk represents wisdom... these people, they've been throwing rocks at Alito all week long, and those rocks have just been bouncing off that obelisk, boomeranging and smacking... Democrats upside the head...
