Russ Feingold is an idiot

Oh my goodness! The administration helped Sam Alito, its nominee to the Supreme Court, to prepare for the judiciary committee hearings! Scandal! Independent investigation! Impeachment!

Just like the Clinton administration did with Breyer & Ginsburg. Just like the Bush 41 administration did with Thomas & Souter. Just like the Reagan administration did with Kennedy, Scalia & O'Connor (not to mention Bork).

But suddenly it's a scandal? Can you say "Grasping at straws"?
