The Phil Philes: Groin-Grabbingly Transcendent

We would probably drop our inquiry into the personality and background of Son-of-Sam Alito, Phil, were it not so clear that he's a very cool dude. Is that okay, right-wing blog police? We're so not calling him gay (though that would make him cooler). His Facebook entry (click to enlarge) suggests a straight (girlfriend!) Simpson's fan who doesn't like his picture taken. More to the point, as one reader discovered, his Facebook pals include two students who joined with the ACLU to fight for the right to publish an article about sex in their high school paper. Were they allowed to come to dinner?

Sadly, his Facebook entry has been disappeared, the second scrubbing off the web of evidence that the Alitos are not a tribe of wingnutty fascists. A Colgate alum wrote in to tell us that the website administrator of Alito's college paper found the first disappearance rather mysterious: "She was supposed to be one of only two people that had administrative access to the website that the bio mysteriously disappeared from, so she's a bit in the dark as to how the powers that be managed to take it down." Of course, that's what makes them the powers that be. In any case, we're taking the hint, Phil. You're a shy guy, we can respect that.Tell your dad we didn't mean any harm. And, Jesus, be sure to tell that to the powers that be, too.

Alito Clan Blowback

We've received some, er, negative feedback regarding our in-depth investigation into the clan of would-be SCOTUS Samuel Alito. Most of it alleges that we here at Wonkette would not bear the glare of the spotlight so easily ourselves:

I'm sure that there are plenty of websites that would love to feature your face or even some television stations that would love to see you. I can even give you the names of some, my favorite for you would obviously be uglypeople.com.

All this and we haven't even called anyone gay. Yet.

Also: Full hate email after the jump.

Best hate mail ever:

I think that it is very low of your website to comment on the family's attire and perceived attitude at the nomination. Primarly, it is none of your business or your job to report on the clothes that were worn. I believed that as a political blog it would be more appropriate to talk about the actual nominee and he's judical background not his family's attire. I find it highly offensive that you belittle the family. I would love to hear how you would react to the public scrunity that the family has undergone in TWO days. It's easy to hide behind the web, no one can make fun of your appearance or attire. I find it intersting that your name is not more publicly known or that your ugly face is not shown on television.  Maybe you should get a life and get off the Alito family. I'm sure that there are plenty of websites that would love to feature your face or even some television stations that would love to see you. I can even give you the names of some, my favorite for you would obviously be uglypeople.com. Now, don't hesitate to contact them! Finally, I do not believe it is your job to comment on how the family acted, it would be interesting to see if you would be overjoyed at not being able to see your own father nominated for the supreme court; since from where they were standing it was impossible to see him. I would love to see if you'd had a huge grin and fake it for the cameras. But more importantly, would your father ever be nominated? Thats right, I forgot he's too busy hiding the fact that he is your father.
