President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court is Elena Kagan, and if it were me, I’d vote to confirm solely on the basis her being a total hottie. Luckily, there are people in congress taking this more seriously.  People like Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who today demanded to know whether Kagan preferred obsessive, stalkerish-but-platonic pedophiliac vampires with sparkly white skin, or greasy ethnic werewolves with hot blood and glistening abs. (Video of the exchange after the jump).

“You had an incredibly grueling day yesterday and you did incredibly well, but I guess it means you missed the midnight debut of the third Twilight movie last night,” Sen. Klobuchar said. “We did not miss it in our household, and it culminated in three 15-year-old girls sleeping over at 3 a.m.”

“I didn’t see that,” Kagan said.

“I keep wanting to ask you about the famous case of Edward v. Jacob, or The Vampire v. The Werewolf,” Sen. Klobuchar said, opening her questioning with a bit of lightheartedness.

“I wish you wouldn’t,” Kagan said with a laugh. [source]

OIL SPILL SCHMOIL SCHMILL, TELL ME ABOUT THE THE JOHNSON & JOHNSON THEY USE TO GREASE UP TAYLOR LAUTNER’S SIX PACK, AMIRITE? I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THESE BANKS, BUT EVERY TIME THAT LITTLE PETER PUFFER COMES ONSCREEN I HAVE A  MELTDOWN ALL OVER THE SEAT CUSHION, GNOME SAYIN??  WHAT? WHAT’D I SAY?  RELAX, WE’RE JUST A COUPLE OF GALS HAVIN’ LADY TALK OVER HERE.

Going to midnight film screenings in the middle of the week… making Twilight jokes…  From what it sounds like, being a Senator is a lot like being a blogger. (Oh, and for the record, Kagan declined to answer.)
