Sessions

 
Sen. Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions III (R-AL) is in many ways the perfect vapid partisan hack. For example, in Bush's preznitcy, he pushed for exceedingly rapid confirmation of Supreme Court pick Samuel Alito... "You don't have to read everything he's written," Sessions jawboned other senators.

But what about Obama's choice of Sonia Sotomayor? Said Sessions, "There are 3,000 or 4,000 cases that are part of her 17-year record. ... They need to be examined, and they will be examined. I don't think it's good to rush." 

But this time... perhaps in deference to Sessions's all-but-self-admitted reading problems... Obama nominated Elena Kagan, who has not been a judge, and hence does not have a case record in the thousands. So what's Sessions's complaint this time? "Her record is very thin, there's no doubt about that." 

What a damned hypocrite!

And hence my short verse to the senator...

          Senator

         Jefferson

        Beauregard

          Sessions

For Senator Beauregard,
I fear I have Leauregard,
Perhaps even Neauregard!
