OK, folks..let's se what going to happen today as we move closer to the showdown in the Senate. Live, at 1 PM EST on C-span 2, "Searchlight" Reid is holding a presser to discuss judicial nomination. The Senate then convenes at 2PM, and as Majority Leader, Frist will make the opening statement. Then Reid will speak. Frist as pissed at Reid last week..for announcing a possible compromise on the Senate floor without FIRST telling him of it..and Frist has yet to speak about Reid's comments about FBI files. Should be fireworks..
Exactly!!!!! And people have forgotten that!
That pesky sock drawer...
Happy Birthday! I checked out before the latest action. Drat it.
Yep .. they adjourned till 9:45am tomorrow
Thanks, Ken. I had it taped, heard the predictions, and might have shut it down too soon. I'll go check in a little while-can't make it down to my apartment right now due to bad back.
I rarely do the McLaughlin One on One anymore, so if it's on my tape I'll let you know. We get so good at recognizing voices after all these years, don't we?
Good thing I reread your post, so now I know it was part of the Predictions seg.
No no hon, tell them you're going to help fund their opponant and work to see them defeated.
This was the McLaughlin Group..with the 4 guests.. Eleanor Clift was really shreeking..
Thank you! I have just finished getting ready for my surprise party. :)
You didn't miss much -- Schumer was ugly and I muted Kennedy.
You're right, Ken! That was Mort Zuckerman.
"Arlen Specter will retire shortly and be replaced by Gov. Bob Casey."
Gov.??? Is he a Gov.???
And they were shrieking terribly at each other and at the same time...which is one reason why I shut them down so fast.
"Who is Casey?"
The PA Democrat who is planning to challenge Santorum for the Senate next year when he comes up for re-election. A strong candidate.
"Who is Casey? And, who is next in line for Judiciary Chairmanship?"
A solid Conservative. Name begins with K, I think.
"I don't think he has the votes....Luger is getting wobbly also!"
This is my feeling. If Frist were a real Senate Majority leader, hw wouldn't do this without enough votes. But I think we have to say it: the guy is a loser.
Politics is partly a street fight. You can say there are other things (that Frist is good at), and that's true. Problem is, you lose the street fight, the other stuff don't count (at least against the Dems, as currently constituted.)
"Frist is REALLY REALLY REALLY agitated..."
LOL!
"FRIST WILL FOLD!!"
Yes. No one else seems ready, so I will say it.
One second after the nuclear option fails (resuming Frist even allows such a moment to ever be determined) I am inaugurating a "Dump Frist as Majority Leader" movement on FR.
"Senator Kyl the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee?"
Yes, that is correct.
"so that would set up a Casey/Toomey race in 2006..."
Toomey is a good one,
"I will give money to george allen,"
What's the scoop on George Allen? How conservative is he?
