Kos is down, too.

Now where did I put that violin? Durn it; I knew I should've left it under the microscope :-)

VS has had their "Pink" logoed items long before there was ever a Code Pink.

An answer to our prayers - Hallelujah!!!

Do you have any VP-worthy Republicans up there? I'm thinking with Allen at the top of the ticket, we MIGHT be able to pull Minnesotra over into the red column with a local guy on it too.

[Indy Pendance]

Excellent, just wait until November when something like this will be 80-20!

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

I couldn't resist. They are just toooooo funny with all their ridiculous votes...

[Ditter]

I have thought about signing up over at DU for a long time. I just tried and they are closed even to new signups. They must be soiling themselves over there.

[A CA Guy]

"It's so damn funny that DU closes it's threads to lurkers when they are losing on an issue. What a bunch of babies...LOL."

The coven has to go into closed sessions with the dark lord Lucifer to plan future strategies out of the eyes of the public perhaps?

"Kennedy has waddled off the floor of the senate"


Probably crapped in his undies when the count hit 60

[Howlin]

We can always hum a death dirge.

[chesley]

Now I hope that either Souter retires or Ginsberg is mistaken for a diseased elm tree and accidentally mulched.

Or Both!!!

"a tearful Lincoln Chaffee"

Wait until he sees the primary results.

[steveegg]

We've been tracking the votes. At last count, we had roughly 70 "aye"s.

[YaYa123]

just flipped over to CNBC to verify CNN's numbers, and whaddaya know? Chris Matthews is yammering away about Tom DeLay.

[Perdogg]

Can Ensign phone his vote in?

[Admin Moderator]

Anyone have the final count?

[HonestConservative]

"John Kerry's last stand!"

Excrement point,AM. Do you think he'll shut up and sit down now?

[Perdogg]

you mean his depends.

[TNCMAXQ]

I am surprised so many lefty Dems voted yes.

All the cable news nets are in commercial now or reporting other stories. Are they perhaps covering up bad news they don't want to mention? ;) I'm sure they will have to report on the outcome of the vote soon.

Oh what do you know, Wolf Blitzer is talking about the Enron trial! (5:15 ET.) I suppose any bad news for big business is automatically linked to the Bush administration in their eyes.
