FOUND IT!!
Senate Coverage(1-22-04)
Mr. KENNEDY. I say to the Senator, it is essentially the same plan we passed before. The bill will reinstate the insurance program for 6 months, ensure that higher unemployment States continue to be covered--13 weeks; 13 weeks. It is the narrower program.
Mr. NICKLES. I appreciate the clarification.
Mr. President, I object.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, two or three comments. Senator Kennedy is my friend. We debated this issue a couple of times.
In the past many months, I guess for the last year and a half, there has been an effort to turn a 13-week program into a 26-week program. I have objected to that very strongly and will continue to object to it very strongly.
As I understand Senator Kennedy's explanation, this is an extension of the existing Federal unemployment compensation program which is scheduled to expire by the end of March of this year. But I would like to point out a couple of reasons why I object.
I will be happy to work with my friend and colleague from Massachusetts to maybe learn in greater detail of his proposal, but just a couple of editorial comments. No. 1, the unemployment rate is coming down. It is at 5.7 percent. In 1993, at the conclusion of a significant downturn and recession in the economy, the Democrats were in control of the Senate and they had a Temporary Federal Unemployment Compensation Extension Program. The unemployment rates at that time were between 6.6 and 7.7 percent. In other words, they discontinued the program when the unemployment rate was at 6.6. The unemployment rate today is 5.7.

Geez Teddy, take it easy. You got a vein on your head big enough to tow a car with.

In case it hasn't been mentione....
For the record, and this thread, Kerry (D-MA), Edwards (D-NC), and Miller (D-GA) were not present, and did not vote. Just one more vote Kerry missed

"She's wearing the 'gray Mao with lace' today."
Please tell me you are not saying that she is wearing a lace teddy. Of course that may be her threat that if they don't vote against it, she will strip.

Kerry and Edwards don't have the balls to vote on this.

"Mikey DeWine was the ONLY Republican to vote to keep the fillibuster."
Looks like we need to start a hit list. Anyone on it will be voted against.

It's probably just as well that Kerry and Edwards aren't there. Two less anti-gun votes...

What are you saying, let him keep going! If he does, it increases the chances that he busts something vital. He's lucky I am not there, I would go up and push on it to get it to pop.

I'd rather not think of her pants at all. ;-)
Kennedy - "You can't make the case any better."
How can he make a worse case for 'bait and switch' than using two disjointed events over 30 years apart???

I don't think they are there to vote. That would give them a pass, so to speak.
