LIVE THREAD: Senate Coverage AND Senate Foreign Relations Committee vote on Bolton nomination

C-span

[ken5050]

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..

[You Dirty Rats]

Shut up Biden, Boxer, Kerry! G-r-r-r-r-r!! Obstructionists.

Not for long! Constitutionally, 50 Senators + the Veep can be delayed, but they can't be stopped. Same with a majority on committee. The 'Rats can't win or lose gracefully -- they have no class whatsoever.

[hipaatwo]

Geez listen to Dodd, isn't he acting just the way he's chastizing Bolton for doing? He's mad and yelling!

[Soul Seeker]

I believe he's as truthful as he was about Cambodia.

[JustaCowgirl]

'This ought to be indictable.' -- Sen. Dodd.

I guess in their world being a hardass is indictable.

[Howlin]

I was just thinking about Powell, slinking down the hall to say "Sorry somebody thinks you ought to be able to do your job, buddy."

[CyberAnt]

Ever since she sided with EVIL - Bill Clinton - her looks have taken a downturn. I've seen it happen more than once.

[Dog]

They are stalling.....they need to hold the vote off until 5pm.....when the Senate comes back.

[West Coast Conservative]

Dodd has become unhinged.

[CaptSkip]

I want to see throbbing, pulsating head veins on Demorats!

[Abby4116]

Did Dodd just say that this position at the UN is not that important?

That's exactly what he said.

[NormsRevenge]

I hear ya, this is a burden we must all bear together as government grinds along.

lol. Dodd needs help from his aide to figure what he has in hand.

[ken5050]

Hillary's brother married her daughter..the wedding, and the divorce, obvious aged Boxer..BTW..whatever happened to Hugh and Tony these days...and if Hillary is elected President..will they be welcome back into the WH?

[prairiebreeze]

Yes, he did. Then he said that "what John Bolton did, is very important"!

Gasp.

[truthkeeper]

All right, I got to the party late. Englighen me, please. Exactly what did Bolton DO to provoke these theatrics?

[tioga]

good observation. Our new Pope is a great choice. Bolton is firm, just like Bush and Ratzinger....er Benedict XVI. There is hope in the world.

[Mo1]

Geez listen to Dodd, isn't he acting just the way he's chastizing Bolton for doing? He's mad and yelling!

He did the same thing during the hearings

Everyone has ALREADY heard his rants

ENOUGH ALREADY .. VOTE!

[11th_VA]

They are stalling.....they need to hold the vote off until 5pm.....when the Senate comes back.

So then what happens?

[MamaLucci]

The dems are absolutely beside themselves......SCHADENFREUDE!

[wrathof59]

The conservatives are in shock that Lugar didn't roll over!

[epluribus_2]

can you imagine how these jerks would treat Jeanne Kirkpatrick if she were up for her old position again. If ya ain't a moonbat, they feel they must get hysterical on you.
