Joseph Biden (D-MSNBC)

All right, I'll admit that I have always been a fan of Joe Biden, despite the fact that his hair in constructed out of the same material used to make the roofs of gingerbread houses. He's smart, articulate on foreign policy, and rarely afraid to take a stand. However, his need to make a sound byte or appear in front of camera is the stuff of legends.

Today, he donned a Princeton baseball cap during the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Sam "The Most boring man ever" Alito to make a point about.... Actually I have no idea. The purpose of his questioning made sense; Biden was trying to find out why Alito listed the archconservative organization "Concerned Alumni of Princeton" on his resume. To drive his point home, he placed on what appeared to be a newly purchased Princeton cap, which shattered his perfectly coiffed bouffant, sending shards of clay into the committee chamber, and injuring Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK).

Why did Biden put the hat on? Well, Joe knows how to get on TV, and of course many news shows ran with this ridiculous image of him smiling and joking with Alito while wearing this bright white hat. Always eager to come out ahead, I hear that Chuck Schumer will be appearing at tomorrow's hearing naked.

In other fun Alito news, the judge's wife left the proceedings sometime during the afternoon, after apparently being blinded by Joe Biden's teeth. No, seriously, she left because she was offended by the questioning of Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin, and by the fact that her name is Martha.

No, she left because Lindsey Graham was questioning Alito.

He was saying something like, "people have said things, judge. Now, let's clear the air, are you a biggot?"

Then she started welling up. Totally ridiculous in my mind, it's now issue # 1 on Fox, will be all Rush talks about tomorrow and I'm guessing prominently featured on the front page of the Washington Times.

Bet my bottom dollar it's staged.
