Specter gets owned by Karl Rove, backtracks on promise to bring sanity to judicial confirmation process.

Karl Rove: Listen you pissant motherfucker, you owe us your political life for re-election and for the job you just HOPE to get. If you don’t want to get swiftboated and Daschled starting tomorrow, you better start kissing ass. Otherwise it’s Lott on the SJC, and Bork is coming back up.
AS: [pantswetting] Yes, oh wise and powerful Buddha.
