Some "reporters"

Original 11/1/05 post bumped to top for an update

Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito's mother is 90 years old. She lives in Hamilton, NJ. Yesterday, the same day her son was nominated to the court, she had this to say:

Alito's politically conservative views were not in dispute. "Of course he's against abortion," his 90-year-old mother Rose told reporters at her home in Hamilton, N.J.

That's right, there were actually reporters who went to the home of a 90-year-old Catholic woman and asked for her 55-year-old son's position on abortion. And if you called them reporters, they would probably sniff and ask you to refer to them as "journalists."

What a pack of coyotes.

Update: According to Drudge the siege of Mama Alito is unrelenting:

The quiet neighborhood Mrs. Alito has lived in for over 50 years has been turned upside down all week by a swarm of national reporters who have phoned and shown up at the doorstep of not only her but many of her neighbors. ...

One neighbor, who asked the DRUDGE REPORT to withhold their name so the press wouldn’t call them at home, was stunned at the treatment the 90 year-old grandmother had received. “Mama Alito is just a sweet lady and we don’t understand why she is being hounded by these reporters. She can’t even go outside and tend to her fall flowers. She’s just a proud mother, what do they want?”

When told of the latest Alito episode one Washington insider said, “Why are they harassing Judge Alito’s 90 year-old mother when he has written over 350 legal opinions? The media should leave Judge Alito’s mother alone. ”

Coyotes is too good for these people. "Leeches" or "vultures" are better.
