Joe Knippenberg sends along this story. It includes lots of important details such as:
Alito, bespectacled, hair askew, suit rumpled and ill-fitting, walked into Sen. Tim Johnson's office this week to pay a courtesy call on the South Dakota Democrat. Sitting in an armchair in the senator's office, Alito forgot to unbutton his suit jacket, causing his tie to stick out and his jacket to bunch up. The judge's pant leg hiked up as he sat, revealing an untied shoelace.
"Ever been to South Dakota?" Johnson asked.
"No," Alito replied, adding quickly, "but I've always wanted to."
Alito's professed desire to see the Badlands -- evoking images of the robed jurist on a cattle drive -- would not have been easy to predict from his background.
I think the most important detail in this highly revealing article is this:
Leaving the office of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) yesterday, Alito caught his foot in carpeting and briefly stumbled while getting in the elevator.
I'm glad the press is covering the important stuff.
