OK..here's what we know..Senate is in recess for the weekly party caucus luncheons. Supposed to resume at 2:15. on C-span 2.. The Foreign Relations committee is supposed to meet at 2:45 to vote on the Bolton nomination. Lugar has refused requests for a delay. Just before the Senate recessed, Reid objected to Frist's UC request for the Froeign Relations committee to meet today. Frist withdrew his request..
And evidently he is *very* computer savvy!
This is just a vote on whetehr or not to instruct the Senate Sgt at Arms to go haul Teddy Kennedy out of the bar and bring him to the floor..
Someone on the other thread called him "Papa Ratzi."
hahahahahaha! You got me with that one!
Bolton was mean to me when we were 6....his temperament is not the one for the UN
You and me both!
Thanks re: Bolton not being there--- I was looking at the schedule last night and noted that they has blocked out a few hours for that hearing, so I figured maybe they were gonna yell at him some more before they voted...
Amen to that. Several of our U.S. clergy need a SEVERE butt-whipping from the Vatican.
Senator Kerry? "Not Present"
Oh, heavens, is anyone watching Harry Reid. He's calling people like me right wing groups. He's got the guy from the filibuster ad with him...you know, the Republican. Uses the word "radical". Reid is absolutely pathetic. What we should be working on is the price of gasoline, what can we do about healthcare. Trying to deflect attention.
Boring perhaps..but it pays very well....(G)
NOW they vote to recess.
The fumes ain't got ya' yet!! That was a HOOOT!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!
To be perfectly honest, my dream job is to work for the Internet Office of the Holy See. If anyone in the Vatican is reading this, I'd still like to do it!
Regards, Ivan
This like watching paint dry, grass grow, or sausage being made..take your pick..
In the Senate, the Sergeant-at-Arms had a moment in the media spotlight in 1988, when then Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd (D-WV) made a motion on the Senate floor that Senators absent from the floor be arrested and brought to the chamber. The absentees were deliberately stalling the consideration of campaign finance legislation by preventing a quorum from being achieved. By vote of the Senate, the Sgt.-at-Arms was handed arrest warrants and instructed to find and escort the absentees to the chamber. Senator Robert Packwood (R-OR) was the first "captured," and forcibly brought to the floor by the Sgt.-at-Arms and several of his plainclothes men. Packwood's presence registered a quorum; no other Senators had to be sought.
