Get ready for the Supreme Court battle royale to begin. The AP reported a bit ago that President W. will give a statement tonight announcing his nominee to replace Sandra Day, and he'll even be accompanied by said nominee.

Slutty sister Wonkette even ferrets out some confirmation — and points out that the timing of the announcement really fucks up happy hour for D.C. reporters.

So be sure to have a drink for them tonight.
