Last night, Gwen Ifill mentioned that PBS had live coverage of the
Roberts’ nomination hearings. Today, while Ted Kennedy was
questioning John Roberts, I thought I’d turn off my radio and watch
a few minutes on our local PBS station. When the screen filled
with a large pink face, I thought WXXI was indeed broadcasting the
hearing.
Then, however, my spirits dropped. It wasn’t Ted, it was Barney —
no, not Massachusetts’ Barney Frank — but that big, cloying-annoying
dinosaur. So, I turned off the tv, and came to the decision that I really
didn’t need to listen to Kennedy vs. Roberts.

But, seriously, I’m not going to miss the
Senate Judiciary Committee — As Jim Lindgren noted,
there are just too many Foghorn Leghorns. I am,
however, already missing summer.
