I know he met with Syrian leaders. PLO. France. Iran. That's all I remember. So does Mr. Peach because I had a hissy fit every time I read articles about those meetings.

What was that sound over Feingold? Did someone just rip a zipper or tear a seam?

Senator Coleman is chairman of the subcommittee investigating the Oil for Food scandal. I think he would have brought up the issue regardless of this thread.

Perhaps I should've used the < /sarcasm > signal. :)

At least Feingold seems to realize when he's been smacked down. Well, maybe not. He's setting himself up again. He's troubled. Says we risk losing focus. It's a self-defeating strategy.

He rated the stare. LOL

She disputed nearly everything he said. But very nicely.

Feinman: We haven't talked about the war on terror much today although we've been here for hours. Unless you consider the Iraq war as central to the war on terror. ANd I don't.

These Democrats are really obsessed with a Clintonesque type shuttle diplomacy, aren't they? It achieves nothing of substance, but serves to force our Secretary of State and this Administration to pay obsequious homage to Bonn, Paris and The Hague.

Off topic, but what was up with Boston Legal this Sunday? Are they going to castrate Denny Crane?

Candice Bergen could easily ruin that show; too many snide comments.

Condi is the smartest women in the room. Any room.

She wants to be the NFL commissioner and I don't think she has aspirations for higher office. Unfortunately.

I sympathize. Perhaps you could put in for hazardous(-to-your-mental-health)-duty pay?
