Editorial: Senate Judiciary Dems Go Stand in the Corner

After last week's performance, all Democrats serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee should immeditaley go stand in the corner.

Yes, Teddy, you did fine work. But maybe punishing you collectively will teach you to act like a team. Now go on. Over to the corner.

Charlie, you don't have to get snippy about it, just go stick your nose in a corner.

Don't give us that crap about you're too mature to stand in a corner, Patrick! Not after last week. Part of maturity is keeping the others in line, looking out for your younger siblings. March, Mister Man, march!

Yes, Joe, you had wonderfully prepared questions. We have no idea who wrote them, but they were well written. You were prepared. You just weren't ready to listen, were you? No. You were too busy loving the sound of your own voice, weren't you? Just a little? Okay, maybe just a little. But guess what? You can self-love yourself all you want during your corner time! Yes, you can. Yes, you can. There he goes.

Now Diane, don't pout. Would it help if we told you that you were the prettiest on the committee? Yes. And you also won Miss Congeniality. That's right. Now go stand in the corner. There you go.

Russ, you know we only told Diane that so she would go to the corner. Of course you were the prettiest. We all think so. Now you were almost as good as Teddy, so go on over to the corner and take the punishment like the rest in your group.

Dick, we don't want to hear how much you regret your statements. We heard it after the whole Koran thing and it was embarrassing then. Save the excuses and march your fanny over to the corner now.

Hey, that's only seven. There were eight. Did Herbie sneak off again?

Well the rest of you, you just stand in that corner. No talking. You just think about what you did. And Dick, no one likes a weeper. Cut it out before we give you something to cry about.
Yes, Diane, he is still crying and you, Diane, are giggling. This isn't a joke. That's part of your problem, you don't know when to be serious. So just put your nose in the corner and think about that.
