Looks like he's finally had enough. The highway bill is expected to be finished on the floor Tuesday or Wednesday. That means its go time after that.

You likely won't even believe it then.
To: seamus
Don't go wobbly on us. DO IT, BILL.

Of course I will. Are you saying it's not reasonable to doubt?
To: seamus
Next week and next week and next week and next week.
Either poop or get off the pot, Frist.

Speaking of spines, I just caught a snippet that the living owner of the chili finger has been found.
Can't find a thread on it yet.

Thank you Leader Frist. We support you. You are doing the right thing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Let us know if we can do anything to help.
Peace.

To: Michael Barnes
Ditto.
And even if Frist does this, don't consider it evidence of a newfound spine. Long way to a trend.....

Frist made this statement on the floor of the Senate today. This is the first time he's put a certain time-table on the nuclear option. He must feel he has just enough votes to pull this off and doesn't want the Dems to peel anymore away.
