I noticed that Coleman kept saying "bipartisan" concerning HIS trip overseas; just points out that Kerry's was nothing but a delusional tour for himself!

[Peach]

No explanation. Jet lag from all his flitting about the world to demean the country and the president, no doubt.

[cyncooper]

Feingold up. I'll take this opportunity to thank God he not my Senator anymore now that I'm in Arizona and I shall leave these proceedings for the time being.

[You Dirty Rats]

And just think -- were it not for the horrible Wellstone funeral, instead of Coleman we'd have Wally.

[Peach]

#821 - that's a good catch. It had gone right past me.

[prairiebreeze]

Thank you for your excellent work in documenting the proceding highlights, cyn.

[GoldwaterChick]

He couldn't get his windsurfer up the Potomac and had to resort to riding his bicycle.

[kingattax]

funeral ?.....is THAT what that was ?

[Semper Paratus]

"Hey Tom, have they improved the menu in the cafeteria? It's been awhile since I've been in there."

[Howlin]

Did Kerry met with any of our partners in Iraq, or only those against us?

[mewzilla]

Darn. It sounds like I missed all the good stuff. So did Jean Francois rate the patented Dr. Rice Death Stare, or did she just mentally circular file him?

[NautiNurse]

What did John Kerry have to do that was more important

There was some fresh powder on the slopes.

[gopwinsin04]

Feingold praises Condi, then says he wants to follow Skerrys line of questioning..

[mewzilla]

Or he had some Axis of Weasel behind to kiss.

[Howlin]

What a pompous A$$.

[mewzilla]

Feingold praises Condi, then says he wants to follow Skerrys line of questioning..

Monkey see, monkey do.

"And just think -- were it not for the horrible Wellstone funeral, instead of Coleman we'd have Wally."

You just gave me chills. Imagine Uncle Walter following sKerry's performance. Bleach!

[Mo1]

OH HE'S MAKING A FOOL OF HIMSELF!!!

OH MAN .. I Missed It !!

[BibChr]

You watching this?

Would you please ping me when our national cringing embarrassment (Senatrix Boxer) begins her whinefest?

[Peach]

Feingold: You said all the countries who want to help is to let us know and we'll accept. How are you going to proactively reach out to get help. Don't wait for others to volunteer.

Condi: We have been reaching out to others and asking what they can do. It is a constant preoccupation of Powell and the president and we took to Nato and how we got the Nato training world. We mobiled G-8 to forgive debt. In my personal conversations with leaders I say we have differences but have the same goal so what can you do to help.

My only point was that we will have another opportunity when the elections in Iraqi are held and that countries that may have had hestitancy for reasons may step up. The donors conference was successful. I think we can get more help. Perhaps more people will step forward after the election.
