Frank Advice for Samuel Alito

The first day of Senate hearings on Samuel Alito have started today, and I have some tips for him to help him sail through them unscathed:
FRANK ADVICE FOR SAMUEL ALITO
* Always smile; that makes you look amiable. Since we Republicans seem to have a problem with this, just make sure you know that a smile is different from baring your teeth.
* Don’t quote the Constitution; that will just confuse most of the Senators.
* If asked about Roe v. Wade, say, “I have no formal opinion on that judicial decision Blackmun crapped out.”
* You’re Italian, so you must have Mafia connections. Have them rough up any Senators who are bad mouthing you. You could have a few Senators wake up with a horse head in their beds, but Ted Kennedy might just consider it breakfast in bed.
* Make sure to bring a big meatball sub to the hearings so you’ll have something to eat if they take a long time.
* It’ll take more whacks to the head with a tire iron to put some sense into Schumer than you think, so it’s probably not worth it.
* I find that if I get nervous during public speaking, holding onto a large, fixed-blade knife helps calm me down.
* If questions get heated, don’t lose your temper. Remember: it’s a lifetime appointment, so there will be plenty of time to beat to death your dissenters in a dark alley after you’re a Supreme Court Justice.
* The Democratic Senators are not as fearsome as they seem; one Molotov cocktail hurled their direction is all it takes to intimidate them.
* If you become afraid the Senator Hillary Clinton will eat your soul during the hearings, simply wear a cross and some garlic.
* In the end, it’s just a popularity contest. So make sure to wear a leather jacket and sunglasses so people will think you’re cool.

    It’s not so simple-
    Why do you think the ACLU is so close to the democratic party?
    They’ll claim the cross is a violation of the separation of church and state, rendering it useless.
    Since Alito is Italian, his best bet would be the garlic.
    -And a wooden stake.
