Look man, Chongo Chimp has the highest rating of the Chicago Bar Association. Big deal. Being able to down the most whisky and sodas per hour and remain standing is not a recommendation of good character or judgement.

Other than that, ask me if I care about Kerry's filibuster. Or Sam Alito.

Go ahead, ask me. ;-)

Kerry's just doing his job, which is to bash Republicans. And Tarheel's doing his, which is to bash liberals.

One question, though. Has any filibuster ever actually prevented legislation from going through? Or has it just delayed it?
