If this is true…

…then I can’t see how Notre Dame can’t back down:

After talking to President Barack Obama on the phone today, Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch says he believes the White House will move swiftly on its Supreme Court nominee, perhaps making an announcement by the end of this week.

Obama made no timing commitments to the Utah Republican, but the senator, who has been in the middle of several pitched Supreme Court battles, said: “I’d be surprised if it went beyond this week. … I would think by the end of this week or over the weekend, he’ll nominate somebody. I’m sure they’ve discussed this internally, back and forth for months now.”

What will they say when he names a strong pro abortion candidate? How will they justify it then? Of course if that doesn’t happen then, WOAH!

I still don’t get it

Last month I commented on why feminists are silent on the what I’ll now call in honor of the other McCain comsoazation on Michelle Obama:

Aren’t we past the point where the main story on a powerful woman is the amount of pearls she wears? I would think so. I wonder what the Reclusive Leftist would say about it?

Well I wonder no longer as she takes on Naomi Wolf on the subject:

But Naomi is no longer a thinking feminist. She is, in fact, so goddamn dumb that I’m convinced The Beauty Myth was ghosted. The paragraph I quote above is followed by two pages of squealing about how fabulous it is that Michelle is a sex object and fashion plate showing plenty of skin. This, according to the rocks in Naomi’s head, represents the maturation of feminism.

Of course Naomi is an easy target, but then again if i was brighter I would have noticed her original post on the subject predated mine by almost two weeks.

Morning Joe: Bill Russell! Bill Russell!

I wasn’t awake till I heard about Bill Russell.

6:59 a.m. Can’t have Tina Brown or Christa Freeland without a hit on both Miss California and Sarah Palin. Then again topless shots of Miss California is news.

7:01 a.m. Maria Bartiromo is still one of the most beautiful women on the news. Classic Italian face.

7:02 a.m. They are talking about my pet peeve, Tina Brown is EXACTLY right about the facebook etc and remembering pictures.

7:07 a.m. 9 hours sleeping 2 hours eating, no wonder they have no time to keep the Germans from invading.

7:08 a.m. Maria notes maybe we are heading toward socialism.

7:10 a.m. Tina is also right about believability too. Maria say we can see what is going on too. These two are on a roll.

7:12 a.m. You know the semi regular live chats are a pretty good idea.

7:21 a.m. ah HA evil CNN leaf blowers!

7:23 a.m. I’m sorry having our Treasury Sec talking about tax loopholes is just funny.

7:42 a.m. Good think Mika isn’t here for this interview

7:51 a.m. Oh Angeline Jolie likes a book on wars that’s a vast enforcement.

7:53 a.m. Hass is full of it. I’d say just the opposite, the first war ended up with slaughter in the south when people tried to overthrow Saddam, it ended up with the corrupt UN sanctions that enriched Iraqi Saddamites and the Kurds kept getting hit. Today Saddam is gone, Iraq is democratic and the region and the world is better for it. This deserves its own post.

8:09 a.m. Maria’s face is shocked at even the thought of the bailout of papers.

8:11 a.m. If you think the NYT is going to check out Obama if he is doing something wrong, then Joe you are delusional.

8:13 a.m A public trust? You have to have trust before you can have a public trust.

8:25 a.m. They aren’t going to beat big bang theory, not with an old Chevy Chase.

8:41 a.m. Why do we need to convert to a green economy?

8:43 a.m. For God’s sake Pense why not point out that when you raise cafe standards you cost lives, you also could have mentioned that US also creates more that 25% of the wealth and innovations.

8:46 a.m. Bill Russell and not Michael Jordan is the greatest Basketball player ever and the greatest team player ever.

8:48 a.m. “We came from different tribes… but what we brought allowed us to be friends.”

8:49 a.m. Barnicle must be on cloud nine.

8:50 a.m. “I played for the Celtics, I didn’t play for Boston.” that is a strong statement. O’Donnell: “You did more to advance race relations in Boston than Martin Luther King.”

Yup that’s right
