[Howlin]

He did not get the sense of being rebuffed that was just alleged.

Smackdown!

[prairiebreeze]

Did Kerry meet with any Israeli leaders on his infamous ME trip? I don't recall that he did......

[Howlin]

What do you mean he was late? To this hearing? Why?

[Quix]

I don't think SUPER TRAITOR SKERRY

qualifies as even a weeeeeny.

Maybe as an excised foreskin.

Probably qualifies more closely as a used condom with a microdrop of fluid and no sperm in it.

[Semper Paratus]

Allawi wouldn't met with him?

Just reciprocating the favor when Kerry stayed out of DC for his visit.

[prairiebreeze]

Oh Good! Coleman bringing up the Oil for Food scandal.

[Howlin]

Exactly. I don't see how he cold have avoided this today without the press making a comment on it.

[Peach]

Coleman mentioning Oil for Food scandal. Good. I knew he'd get that in.

Detaining how WE responded to the tsunami. Hah!!!

Coleman: I worry about the ability of the UN to respond when we have this stain of mismanagement and we are just seeing the tip of it. We are seeing serious mismanagement.

[anniegetyourgun]

Me too. For a moderate, Coleman has turned out to be a real surprise - a pitbull on certain issues. If the R's can keep him focused on such things, he will be very useful.

[Howlin]

I notice Kerry didn't mention talking to the FRENCH; I guess even HE knows that's too big of a joke.

[TFine80]

I've always hated this example because the 3/5ths of a man clause was made to WEAKEN the slave states. It gave the free states relatively more political authority. If the slave population was fully counted, the slave states would have had more power to protect slavery.

People just repeat it because it sounds bizarre and racist.

[Peach]

Kerry came in around 11;00 or so; hearing started at 9:00.

I didn't read anything about Kerry meeting with any Israeli leaders.

[penelopesire]

It would..but it will not surprise me one bit if Kerry does not vote for her. What a jerk! Well,gotta run.

[rocksblues]

Thanks for the pic. The death stare!

[Bahbah]

Dr. Rice is at the top of her game today.

[kingattax]

any opportunity for the idiot to "play president" F'n won't miss.

[prairiebreeze]

Go Condi! Says it was a scandal at the UN. Clearly says the word scandal.

Says she hopes Volker commission will get all they need ffrom UN. (her voice says "I doubt it")

Says she's glad the US congressional investigation is doing better with getting info.

[Howlin]

If Kerry doesn't vote for her, it will just make him look petty.

[Timeout]

Coleman now bringing up Oil for Food!

Conclusion?
His staff is behind the scenes reading this thread!

[CedarDave]

Kerry needs to be reminded that he forgot to mention Vietnam during round one of the questioning.
