What with all the youth indoctrination and the video death panels and the actual Hitler plot to provide basic health care for working Americans, we almost forgot it was also Sonia Sotomayor’s fake first day on the nation’s highest court! No real work today, just a photo op, and here’s the touching photo! The only real question is WHAT THE HELL IS SCALIA UP TO? HE IS CREEPING US OUT. Maybe he’s just happy for real, because there’s finally another Italian on the Supreme Court? Anyway, remember all the bogus outrage about Sotomayor, a million years few weeks ago? All forgotten. Let the SCOTUS-controlled redistribution of wealth commence! [White House Flickr]
Scalia is just chuckling over the results of one of his continuous stream of “pull my finger” pranks, this one perpetrated on Clarence Thomas. Thomas, after all, is the only remaining member of the court willing to pull said fat, hairy knuckled appendage. Thus, Scalia chortles over his prank while simultaneously anticipating the first time the wise Latina falls for his “wit”.
What’s with the lobster bib? Doesn’t that woman ever stop eating?
Who?
Me-me-me-me. He’s like your obnoxious cousin who wedged himself every picture or home movie, then ran into the kitchen to steal a piece of cake, and blamed it on his younger cousin.
@Below the Beltway: You beat me to the fart joke. Well played, sir, or ma’am. Whatever.
Do we know which pieces of legislation she wants to pass from the bench first?
Where is Scalia’s other hand?
She is totally staring at the gravy stain on his tie.
Min: Now you know why he is smiling that horrible death-grin.
I had no idea the Supreme Court members were miniatures. I look at this photo and hear “We represent, the lollipop kids”. Gives new meaning to what “represent” meant in that song.
Ai, no me digas! We all gonna be speakin’ Meskin now! You got some ’splain to do, Sonia.
Who has to sit next to Scalia? Do they flip coins or take turns? That is one scary looking lump of flesh.
chascates: A. Scalia is cloned from a piece of Darth Cheney’s “flesh”.

Barack has his automaton vibe going there. Present, but his mind is light-years away.
Alito’s never going to get over that filibuster vote, is he?
Why is Barry shaking hands with Professor Snape?
Is it OK if I think Sotomayor looks kind of hot in today’s photos?

Roberts has put on, what? 45 pounds? Does he have to order the filet fried in butter every fucking night, and down it with 3 pints of Colbert Nation? On second thought, I hope he enjoys every artery-clogging morsel.
and she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
It’s a cold and broken Hallelujah? Congratulations, Sonia.
Scalia’s enthusiastic about the promise of enchiladas– he’s really sick of the gefilte fish crap Ginsburg brings in all the time.
Wow — there have been so many things Obama is doing to destroy America that I completely forgot about his nomination of Sotomayor destroying America.
Did Rembrandt take this photo? Scalia just thinks he got away with his wise-Italian flick of the fingers under his many chins, and is laughing at the bassy reverb, which makes his anus tickle, as always. Thomas has an unfortunate Ginsburg pendulously growing from his nose, which is accustomed to being up Scalia’s commodius robe. Ginsburg is wondering when she gets her collar back from the Mesican. Alito is looking out hopefully for the pizza delivery, cause that’s how he ingratiates himself. Roberts is laughing appreciatively at Thomas calling himself a teabagger, cause now it’s okay for him to say the n-word. Biden is admiring Ginsburg’s new Jimmy Choo’s, and Madame Tussaud parted with Hopey for the day.
Oh dear, poor Justice Ginsburg got stuck listening to Biden’s ENDLESS stories about hot chicks in Eastern Europe.
I can’t find any snark in me about this one. Congrats, Sonia!
Boy, it got awful quiet on the Sonia front. All that lambasting for nothing. The Repugnants have been nothing more than a Whack-A-Mole game of “Socialist!” finger-pointing.
What’s up with Scalia’s Klingon salute?
Smoke Filled Roommate: He also thinks it’s perfectly constitutional to execute innocent people, so there’s that.
Why is that man looking at my President like he’s on the menu for lunch?
Why is there a portrait of Andy Warhol on the wall? What room is this?
Yay, Sonia! Hard work and intelligence carried you far!
N.S.Sherlock: I thought it was Chris Matthews or David Gregory.
Doesn’t the White House know that Flickr is only supposed to be for your cat and kitten pictures?
It’s official. Scalia is Mr. Potatohead. Now we can finally slice him into a batch o’ cheesy Freedom Fries.
Nice Death Paneling in that room. Black WALNUTS!?
Servo: from little ACORNS grow?
desertwind: Worthless unbeliever. His mind is focused on Ramadan.
Min: Answer: http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/72/71622/CA2000.gif
What is with those froofy doily cravat things they make the dames wear around there anyway?
Y’know, I didn’t realize it until after my last comment, but Obama’s lustrous skin is a dead match for the paneling. What’s that color? Looks like Minwax’s Pecan. Now I’m insanely jealous.
This dance party is a bit of a sausage-fest, no? At least Barry gets to move in on the hot broad…
GuyClinch: This is prolly the greatest photo DC has produced in my lifetime.
Best video remains Clinton’s embrace of Monica in the WH receiving line after re-election.
Thomas, for once, is the least powerful black man in the room.
Scalia is obviously choking on a pretzel. (Nobody needs to ask why no one is giving him the Heimlich Maneuver, right?)
And, yeah, the dipshit wingnuttios seem to have forgotten they were supposed to be outraged against this happening, I guess they got distracted. Again. Expect the world to end soon, this was one of the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse, and you were all laying down on the job.
Scalia has a nine year old clerk he calls “the Beeve”, the poor boy is out of the shot, under his robes, pleasuring him anally with a large, spicy kielbasa. Hence the expression on the hell spawns face.
The child was later sauteed and served to Scalia, Thomas and Roberts in a white wine sauce for fear he would speak to the press.
Conservatives, child molesting cannibals since 1986.
Scalia has in hand under his arm. Later he’ll ask Sonia to smell his hand.
You’ve got to love that Joe all up on Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s grille.
N.S.Sherlock: On the right, a portrait of Lev Brodsky. On the left, Felix Dzerzhinsky. In the middle, there is no middle. Bread, peace and land.
Alpha O. Mega: Except for Michael Steele, I would say “in the nation.”
Scalia is just doin’ what he do. He’s been creeping everyone out since the Rehnquist years.
Downtheroadapiece: I actually saw something about this on Nightline, or some other news magazine a few weeks ago. Apparently, when Ginsburg joined the court, either her or O’Connor came up with the idea apparently to distinguish them from the men, in some way, and had the doily things (I forget the formal name) custom made, and it has since become a tradition now that they have another woman. It really, more than anything else, reminds you of how long one particular demographic dominated the court. It’s amazing to realize there wasn’t a woman on the court until 1981.
LoweredPeninsula: The doily things made Scalia feel left out. Hence, his vile mood since. His were much more delicate.
Mr Blifil: For him, I would recommend the deep fried bacon, followed by the deep fried twinkies.
“Mr. President, it’s great to see you again and please don’t look, but there’s a creepy guy either cruising us or making flatulence sounds like a teenager. Perhaps both.”
Scalia is just enjoying how the farts come out the collar of his dress when he moves around.
It is times like this when we really feel the loss of Chris Farley–he would have made an excellent Antonin Scalia.
jasper f. krone: Executions Equal Enchiladas! BTW, I’m not a Scalia fan in the least. Sheesh.
I don’t know what Scalia’s doin’ but I agree, he does look creepy as hell.
Scalia’s doing his best to become the real life Mr. Creosote. A few more thin mints & Mafia Boy is gonna spew. Better get a bucket before he blows up.
Eric Cheney: Actually, that’s a Chevy’s® A La Carte menu.
Perhaps President Obama is asking Justice Sotomayor to look into an old case involving a Mr. “Beck, Glenn” as rape suspect?
Downtheroadapiece: So you can tell who’s a judge and who’s an organist.
Anyone notice Roberts erection?
BTW, on an unrelated subject Big Barry scored his first trivial pursuit question: Name the first US president to also chair the UN security council. POTUS + COTUNSC, Pretty good for a share croppers son.
Mr Blifil:
It’s water gain from his seizure meds. The inappropriate erection could be part of that response profile. Funny photo — you look around the room, *everybody* looks half gassed, Uncle Nino especially.
Oh, to have been a tumbu fly on that wall!
First Cheech and Chong and now THIS!
LoweredPeninsula: I believe the mens doilies are considered Scrotus or Scroti pl. and the female doilies are called Scovum or Scova pl.
I don’t think she looks much different than most of them in the photo except she has more hair…
Our collective math club boyfriend Nate Silver is doing his math again:

I like the guy in the FIT personal training ad. Everyone doesn’t have to be smart- a great body and good looks can be a fine thing.
Smoke Filled Roommate: No one was suggesting that you were. Relax. I just find it amazing that he can show his face in a roomful of jurists.
Scalia is up to no good, or he reelly likes havin’ his pitcher takin’.
Roberts is red-faced, Thomas must be telling his special brand of dirty jokes again.
These nine are about as useful as the nine starters for the Washington Nationals.
That picture is so beautiful it completely disarmed my snark.
Roberts is really much more creepy than Scalia. He reminds me of the burger king. He went through a fraudulent adoption scheme to get them two white kids from Ireland, too, using an intermediary in central america to thwart Irish adoption laws. Typical christtards, they don’t want no one thwarting god’s will that all pregnant women must have those unwanted babies, but it never occurs to them that god made them barren because its his will that they do not reproduce.
He’s laughing at Joe Biden, naturally. Wouldn’t you?
TGY: “A good start.”
Ha! Biden… always with the lawyer jokes.
SwanSwanH: Or possibly a ‘yank my hair plugs’ sign he taped to Biden’s back.
Folks, Scalia and Ginsburg are obviously sharing a “moment”. Look at the trajectories. Everyone says they “get along” so well, you know. Scandale! Someone give us a surprise live mike on those lovebirds.
Scalia doesn’t feel happiness. Something is definitely wrong.
Eric Cheney: Ruth Ginsberg has one too, but she’s looking slender. Probably from The Cancer (sad), or maybe just much less drawn butter.
Wish her good luck…..http://bit.ly/ag_opportunity/?refer=wonkette
