On Sept. 2 — five days after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast — Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., who represents New Orleans and is a senior member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, was allowed through the military blockades set up around the city to reach the Superdome, where thousands of evacuees had been...

Thanks for the thread, kept waiting for Rush to add Clinton to William Jefferson.

Don't think I'll give any money to his Defense fund.

Oh how I hope it's true. MSNBC has become unwatchable under Kaplan in his eagerness to trash Republicans and get Clinton elected... his personal friend, Clinton.

News Quote of the Day
Wednesday September 14, 2005
Imus and radio host Jay Severin talk about the confirmation hearings of Judge John Roberts to become Chief Justice of the United States.

Imus: "He's gonna breeze through isn't he?"

Jay Severin: "Oh yeah. Well this has become, for all the interesting drama that this is, that because of Roberts inevitability and because it's a Conservative for Conservative trade on the court. Meaning, one Conservative seat for another, Roberts for Rehnquist, this process while historic, important and interesting has merely become an exhibition game compared to the O'Connor seat, because in several hours or days, the President is going to name the judge that's going to fill the O'Connor seat which is going to turn 5-4 decisions, these monumental 5-4 decisions into 6-3 decisions, now that is going to be Armageddon, if Bush picks a Conservative. And a lot of people, including me regard that as a big if. A lot of people wonder whether Bush really in his heart wants a more Conservative court in his legacy and whether he has the stomach or political capital right now for the kind of fight that would be necessary to get one on there, because this is nothing compared to what they'll do to the O'Connor seat."

Imus: "Well he doesn't have the political capital."

Jay Severin: "He has none, he's overdrawn."

Good morning, lp. I think it may be raining harder here than on the east coast. Waiting for the nasal tones of JoMo Lieberman.

Good Morning!

I had to look at a radar summary to see if I could figure out where you are. Are you in Missouri or Oklahoma?

[Bahbah]

I'm in St. Louis. It's raining buckets and the lightning knocked me off of the computer for a while.Withdrawal set right in.

You're almost through it. Sure hope we get some rain soon in Northern Virginia. It's dryer than desert bones.
