A Pliable Duty Statement (The Left Coaster)

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:32:44 GMT

So now Chuck Schumer is disappointed in AG Michael Mukasey, but doesn't have the guts to go public with it. Pat Leahy mouths weak-assed concerns, Arlene Specter does also. And DiFi says nothing, because she's as dirty as the worst of the Buch cabal and has been compromised into doing whatever the administration wants her to do. The fundamental problem here stems from how each side sees the...

Sen. Pat Leahy: Dark Knight and Dead Head (Kesher Talk)

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:36:32 GMT

With The Dark Knight giving Obama a run for the buzz-money these days, let's pause to consider the role of Senator Pat Leahy, who has carved out a role for himself in the Batman entertainment monolith. His role in Dark Knight is just the latest for the Vermont Democrat: Leahy had a nonspeaking cameo in the 1997 film "Batman and Robin," did a voice-over for the part of a governor in a...

Pat Leahy's in 'The Dark Knight,' But Nancy Reagan Was on Diff'rent Strokes (The New York Observer)

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:12:17 GMT

At the stroke of midnight, "The Dark Knight" opened across the country this morning, to rave reviews, Oscar buzz and forecasts of a record-shattering box office performance. Most observers have chalked up the unprecedented anticipation for the film to its quality script and to the amazing and final performance of the late Heath Ledger. But we know the real reason: Senator Patrick Leahy. That's...

Classic Obama (Ross Douthat)

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:50:05 GMT

As evidence that on judicial appointments, his candidate isn't "quite the knee-jerk liberal base-pleaser some want us to believe," Andrew marshals this Daily Kos guest post from 2005, in which Obama defends Russell Feingold's and Pat Leahy's votes to confirm John Roberts to the Supreme Court. And Andrew's right, in a sense: The post is in many respects a brave and thoughtful rebuke to the Kossack,...

Oil Executives Try to Educate Senate Democrats, But Democrats Appear Hopeless (Power Line)

Earlier today, the Senate Judiciary Committee summoned top executives from the petroleum industry for what Chairman Pat Leahy thought would be a politically profitable inquisition. Leahy and his comrades showed up ready to blame American oil companies for the high price of gasoline, but the event wasn't as satisfactory as the Democrats had hoped. The industry lineup was formidable: Robert...

A Matter of Interpretation (Irish Election)

Sun, 18 May 2008 08:53:09 GMT

An interesting clash of interpretation on the widely discussed style of the new Taoiseahc. For Pat Leahy the new style is “clear thinking and firm decision-making”. For the Sunday Indo, it is “authoritarian” and “stalinist”. An enigmatic man.
