I got to hear Fat Teddy SCREAM for 15 minutes Thursday evening. I had to hold my ears because the sound was so painful. Babs Mikulski also spoke with a very nasty loud tone of voice. After I came home and turned on C-SPAN I watched nasty Mary Landrieu.

The Republicans spoke with calm tones of voice and reasoned speeches. Unfortunately, they did not have a sign like the 168-4 sign, and did not seem able to come up with an effective counter sign.

One other observation about visual aids - the Dems are either better able to work with signs and TV camera angle or the camera operators are Dems. When a Republican senator used a sign he or she seemed to stand in fron of it; the Dem always stood to the side so the viewer could see both the speaker and the sign.

PS: I saw Senator Warner on my way up to the gallery and thanked him for his efforts. He said he was doing the best he could for "this old body." I am sure he is over 70 so what he and others did was a great effort.

Just getting Fat Teddy to lose his composure enough to utter the 'neanderthal' comment will be worth a few R votes next November.

An email or phone call of thanks to their offices would be much appreciated, I am sure.

2700 something to 0 was not an effective sign?
