The son of a bitch (Antonin Scalia) was drunk no doubt. Why else....

[pgodbold]

1. damn shame

[JI7]

2. maybe he is ill and might need to be replaced on the Court

[XemaSab]

3. That would be a real shame

:D

[Chulanowa]

12. I hope he's not ill, but he's ALWAYS needed to be replaced

[DaveinJapan]

4. Hope it hurt. nt

5. You're abosolutely right. While dining out on business,

the restaurant had been told to give us the red carpet treatment. The manager came to our table to greet us personally, and when we were ready to leave, he re-appeared, wished us a good night, and escorted us out. Escorting isn't done by restaurant staff, being human crutches is!

:headbang:

6. Damn! Don't tease me

A lot of lives would be much better is Scalia's not there anymore and Obama appoints his replacement.

[Botany]

7. maybe he was drinking to forget what he and the other 4 did in 2000

because no bush v Gore =

no 9/11
no war in Afghanistan
no war in Iraq
no failed response to Katrina
no money taken from New Orleans levies for a war in Iraq
no spying
no Ohio 2004
no torture
no economic meltdown
clean & green energy
real work on global warming
no billions for the Cheney Family
no oil gusher in the gulf
no Justices Roberts & Alito.

9. Well, if he was drinking regarding that, it was more likely to celebrate instead of forget.

He knew full well that the POTUS would have appointed as many as 3 judges in those 8 years, and wanted Repukes on the court.

8. Why else?

Try, bad knees? Balance problems? Both common, for 'older,' and somewhat overweight, individuals.

Let's NOT make this one into another "Michelle went to expensive Spain" story, please.

[soleiri]

11. I heard that

Michelle went to expensive Spain and on her way back tripped Scalia outside of an Italian Cafe.

[MajorChode]

10. He's drinking buddies with Cheney

It wouldn't surprise me much.

[alfredo]

26. I didn't know he drank blood.

[slampoet]

13. There is only one plaza on Federal hill, It is FLAT STONES not cobblestones,

There should be no problem for any sober judge.

[virgogal]

15. Baloney. I fell about 4 years ago

on a dry,level sidewalk.

Never did figure out what made me fall but I sure as hell wasn't drunk.

Your assumption is ridiculous.

[slampoet]

16. One fall does not make a problem.

Not everything that happens to you is indicative of something else.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

25. Yeah but you arent Antonin Scalia

a drunk asshole.

[WingDinger]

14. Ill wishing, is not our style. We bash honestly. And dont apologize.

[Contrary1]

17. His wallet cushioned the fall. n/t

[EFerrari]

27. And his lack of conscience mitigated the pain. n/t

[UTUSN]

18. K&R (ONLY?!1) #2 n/t

[Canuckistanian]

19. That's unfortunate. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. You noticed it was the manager?

Also my dad does not drink, and a few times he's been escorted to the door by staff since he is quite aged.

Look I don't like Scalia, but I don't need to make up crap either.

[tammywammy]

21. +1 n/t

[Prometheus Bound]

23. It just say the guy worked there. It doesn't say he was the manager.

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. And??? Re-read what I wrote

my dad is escorted regularly by staff. You think people will not escort a VIP?

Oh never mind, we need to make crap up to live up to what we believe things should be.

I DO NOT like Scalia, no need for crap quite made up on the internets, and that is the point.

[bigwillq]

22. Who cares?

Really? I haven't read the story so not sure if he was on the clock when the incident took place, and then that's another story, but who cares? The man might've drank and slipped. Or he might have been sober and slipped. Who cares.
