In case you haven't figured this out, Stale Mess is just a bunch of made up stories. It's as fake as your "Kate Spade" purse that's "hecho en Mexico." As fake as the breasts on the Playboy playmates, our USG president wants to ban. It's possibly even faker. It's content is not to be taken seriously. Stale Mess is fake, fake, fake. Any resemblance to actual people (unless, of course, those actual people are public figures, in which case their quotes are still fake) is purely accidental. Enjoy. And remember:
it's fake.
After the withdrawal of President Bush's second Supreme Court nomination, Samuel Alito, Bush pulled out all the stops with his newest nomination of TV star Judge Judy.
"Well, let's hope the third time is a charm," Bush said in a press release from the White House. "Everybody loves watching her on TV so I'm not too worried about this one."
Judge Judith Sheindlin is most notably known as the hard-nosed, no-nonsense Judge Judy from her syndicated television series and said she was surprised by the President's choice.
"I haven't been in a real courtroom since 1995," Sheindlin said. "But if Bush picked me, he must know what he is doing."
Bush held a press conference Monday afternoon to address his new nomination and answer any questions.
"I've watched her show for years and thought she fit the position perfectly," Bush said. "If she can help Bobby and Tina settle a dispute over $53.18, then sitting on the Supreme Court should be a piece of pie."
The President was overwhelmed with questions about the validity of his nomination but assured the people that Sheindlin was the right choice. When asked about what made the daytime television icon so appealing, Bush said it was her attitude.
"Do you see the way she treats those people on her show?" Bush asked. "She will chew you up and spit you out before you can say, 'Yes your Honor.'"
While Bush's nomination gains support from the GOP, the Democrats are not so sure about Sheindlin's ability. New York Sen. Hilary Clinton is leading the opposition to stop the nomination and said celebrity shouldn't be the best qualification.
"Just because she plays a judge on TV doesn't mean she is the best fit for the Supreme Court," Clinton said. "Before you know it, Dennis Hopper will be Secretary of State."
When Clinton was asked who she thought would be a better fit for the Supreme Court, her answer was emphatic and clear.
"Personally, I liked Judge Joe Brown," she said. "He looks like he can handle the gavel pretty well."
If Congress approves the nomination, Bush said a proposal is in the works to allow audiences to view hearings in the courtroom. Tickets for the hearings will be available for purchase on the White House Web site.
There is still no official word if Petri Hawkins Byrd, Judge Judy's bailiff, is accompanying her to the Supreme Court.
