Senator Kennedy’s Questions?
Posted by Moonage on 12 Sep 2005 | Tagged as: Humor
Scott Ott has apparently gotten ahold of an errant Ted Kennedy email discussing some of the questions Kennedy will be asking John Roberts. Here are a few:
- Judge Roberts, when the Federal Emergency Management Agency unleashed a new form of terror on the Gulf Coast forcing President Bush to reluctantly cut short his month-long vacation, the question in the minds of most mainstream Americans was ‘Why do Republicans hate black people so much?’ So my question for you is, when you become Chief Justice of the United States, will Clarence Thomas still have access to the same men’s restroom as the rest of his male colleagues?
- Judge Roberts, when President Bush was hiding from Cindy Sheehan, the grieving mother of a U.S. soldier who died in a war concocted for political gain based on distorted intelligence about fictitious weapons of mass destruction, the president’s incompetence and cowardice raised serious legal questions. America would like to hear your answer to perhaps the most compelling of those, which is this: ‘If the 2008 presidential race has to be decided by the Supreme Court, will you recuse yourself from the case and encourage your conservative colleagues to do the same?’
- Judge Roberts, as the female victims of Hurricane Katrina desperately search for a clean, dry place to get abortions and the majority of them lack adequate insurance for their pregnancy-termination needs, Americans living in the heartland want to know if their next Chief Justice will finally fulfill the spirit of Roe v. Wade by providing space for Planned Parenthood clinics in our federal court buildings?
Now, before too many people go flying off the deep end, this is parody. However, I honestly expect some of the grandstanding during this process to greatly resemble these remarks ( See Boxer ). Therefore, the humor of Scott Ott just becomes that much funnier to me.
