husband is. i have no idea what her life is like, or what her life accomplishments are ... but when she sat there, and sat there, and sat there with that never ending, never changing smile, (except for that brief outburst of tears--which i think had to do more with what her subconscious responses to graham's questioning of her husband had revealed and her own realization of what she had done--)i really thought that she was someone who had nothing very meaningful to offer about her own life, except, perhaps, for basking in the glory of whatever her husband had done with his life. in other words, she seemed to be basking in the republican moment of glory of samuel alito--but seemed to have no glory of her own to bask about in. but for what it is worth, here again is a link to the CNN vide--which i hope works.
http://www.cnn.com/video/player/player.html?url=/video/politics/2006/01/11/sot.graham.alito.wife.crying.cnnas for lindsey graham ... perhaps it would be good for him to know the words of socrates:
"I went to one who had the reputation of wisdom and observed..he was a politician whom i selected for examination--and the result was as follows: when i began to talk with him, i could not help thinking that he was not really wise,
although he was thought wise by many, and still wiser by himself; and thereupon i tried to explain to him that he thought that he thought himself wise, but was not really wise; and the consequence was that he hated me, and his enmity was shared by several who were present and heard me..."
and i think the above paragraph describes beautifully and to a tee what lindsey graham, sam alito, george, jeb and poppy bush and the rest of the neoconists are all about: ignorance, hot air, and lots of arrogant self admiration...and how could i forget lust for greed, blood, and oil, as well.
you, like so many of the rest of us in the country are on to them, and they don't seem to know or care that we are on to them, and in the instances when they have peered into our knowing what they are about, they hate our collective knowledge of them as being nothing but shams, and in the case of george, jeb and poppy bush they persecute us and now that they have their man alito sitting in the supreme court along with scalia and the rest of those they have seated there, they are going to persecute us even more--just give it a little bit of time--and we will all begin the undeniable hard and harsh iron fist of the bushes' police state.
