Senator Cornyn has a great feature on his website called "Name that Speaker". This site is also linked over at the right side of the confirmthem page. Cornyn's office has compiled an assortment of gems, and these are just a few:

SEN. HARRY REID: “I think that [Clarence Thomas] has been an embarrassment to the Supreme Court. I think that his opinions are poorly written. I don't--I just don't think that he's done a good job as a Supreme Court justice.� (NBC Meet the Press, December 5, 2004; also see here)

SEN. TED KENNEDY: “But what has not ended is the resolution and the determination of the members of the United States Senate to continue to resist any Neanderthal that is nominated by this president of the United States for any court, federal court in the United States.�

SEN. TED KENNEDY: During jubilant post-debate comments, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) told reporters that the debate had failed to dent the resolve of Democrats to resist any "right-wing turkey" or "Neanderthal that is nominated by the president for any federal court." (Atlanta Journal-Constitution, November 15, 2003)

SEN. TOM HARKIN: “I don't know if he is or not, but I know the people who have associated with him have called him that. They think he is some kind of a rightwing kook. . . . Is he a rightwing kook? I don't know. Some people say he is. Some people say he is scary.� (Sen. Tom Harkin, Debate on Miguel Estrada, Congressional Record, February 13, 2003)
