That a-hole Dodd has been wrong on every aspect of Central and Latin American policy for the last twenty years. Can't the people of Connecticutt give us a break and retire that gas-bag?

One more thing, 'Mr. President, Sen. Sonavich sends you his thank you for helping getting him elected in Ohio by voting against Mr. Bolton', the man you want in UN.

Mr. President, take a trip to Ohio for a speech or something and do not invite Sen. Sonavich to go with you on Air Force One, in fact, do not invite him at all. THAT would send Sen. Sonavich a message--big time.

>>Neocons like Condoleeza Rice? Get a clue. I think you are a troll.<<

And I think you are inclined to personal attacks when a reasoned argument would do better.

Give it up. The use of the term 'neocon' is a dead givaway. Do you even know what the term means? I doubt it.

Politics should be savage - particularly on the politicians. One of the great glories of Parliament is that the weak are killed and eaten.

Brilliant, and so true.

In the Senate, the weak are called Republicans; and are fattened up for the slaughter and fed daily to voracious Democrat jackals.

Caller on Tony's show says Voinovich is a flip-flopper who will do anything he has to to save his own neck.

Tony says V's arguements are unprincipled and stupid. The way V has condcted himself through these hearings is the way somebody who is geared toward a no vote.

Tony says something is going on behind the scenes, not just Bolton and that he (Tony) will find out what it is.

Didn't seem to bother them much to run racist cartoons of Condoleeza Rice, did it? I was shocked at some of the things they did and said and got away with.

We need to be more like Taiwan's Parliment. I'd love to see some fisticuffs on the floor of the Senate. Enough of calling the guy who just stabbed you in the back my 'good friend and distinguished collegue'. Bloody his nose and blacken his eye, sez I!

Yeah, I hope you are wrong, but I fear you are right---

What do you mean the nuke option is not gonna win? Who else is gonna sell out?

I do believe now, that Biden is gonna filibuster Bolton.

Connecticut has apparently been impoverishing itself in order to create a permanent Democrat constituency - the dependent, the destitute, the deranged and the despicable.

"my esteemed colleague"

"with all due respect (meaning none)"

Good call...I was thinking Wilfred Brimley, but Roosevelt is actually closer to the mark.

Filibustering a UN Ambassador is dangerous, because it would then be a short step to filibustering cabinet members and that is recognized by the Senate as being out-of-bounds.

Everything happening on the Committee today is posturing by politicians. The result is no longer in doubt. And, frankly, that's all GWB cares about. You think George lays awake at night worried about what Joe Biden thinks, if anything?
