Let's Schedule the Hearings Around Reporter's Vacation Plans

The Corner reports that Nina Totenberg, the legal reporter for National Public Radio, wants the next round of confirmation hearings scheduled around her vacation:

"Nearby, Nina Totenberg, the legal reporter for National Public Radio, cornered the chief of staff of Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Penn., who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee; Totenberg was lobbying to schedule the next round of Supreme Court hearings around her vacation plans, which she had scheduled to coincide with her wedding anniversary."

Don't worry, Nina. Just write something in opposition to the nominee and drop it off with your editor before you leave. We'll never know you were gone.
