Given Senator Session's own history with the Senate Judiciary Committee (his appointment to the District Court of Alabama was rejected back in 1986, principally because a whole lot of witnesses showed evidence that he was a bigot), I think Matt Yglesias's comment is both funny and apt:
I would pay good money to hear Sonia Sotomayor say, “Senator Sessions, I think it’s ironic to be facing these questions from a man whose judicial nomination was rejected by this very committee on the grounds that he’s a huge racist.”Posted by Linkmeister at July 14, 2009 09:55 AM | TrackBack
And the three s's in succession in his name? A snake, too. :-)

I know an Alabama blogger who calls Sessions "the evil little troll."
