Sounds like Chrissy has had a reality check. Their usual "expert" Russert ducked?

" ... McCain . . . who just might be one of Frist's major opponents for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination ...


Should have read ... McCain ... who will be the first victim, for the second time, to fall off the presidential wanna be band wagon.

Good report, governs. Thanks. Did you happen to see Boxer on the Senate floor yesterday talking about Judge Brown? I learned so much. JB loves rapists and won't protect little girls from them, hates old people and calls them cannibals, thinks too much government isn't good for people, etc. Quite the performance. I couldn't help wondering what Senators with a modicum of intelligence thought of it. Ido not include Biden or Reid in that bunch.

But that dog didn't bark this morning.

Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because the show would then have to explain what the heck Oil For Food is since I don't believe they've ever done a single segment on it.

And on the subject of judicial noiminees, I don't suppose Lauer asked why the Dems are so afraid of a vote? Nah, of course not.

You're a braver man than I, glgb, for watchin' this dreck. Thanks again for the thread!

I hope the hammer falls today.

I am tired of waiting.

I missed Boxer's appearance. But so long as she and Pelosi are among the most prominent faces of the Democratic Party, I'd say that the Republican majority is safe.

"Senators might occasionally use an argument based on competence, but nowadays it's all about ideology," he admitted, citing the Bork case, in which of course perhaps the most qualified Supreme Court nominee in decades was turned down."
rat dogma.

Great point! So Today's calculus was that roughing up the GOP with Galloway wasn't worth bringing attention to the UN scandal, particularly with Bolton's nomination vote impending.

IF Frist and the rest of the spineless GOP SHOULD prevail in the Senate today, the MSM will be apoplectic. Expect to see all sorts of Lyin' Liberals and RINO's all over the shows lamenting the 'end of free speech' in the Senate.

The NYSlimes, LASlimes, ChiTrib et al will be blowing headlines on Thursday "GOP Silences Minority Rights"...blah blah yada...

We will have done the right thing, however, the filth on the left and the stoopid peeple won't understand.

Matthews agreed with Katie's suggestion that the nukular constitutional debate is really about impending Supreme Court nominations, and Matthews pointed out that if the vote carries, the Republicans would be able to confirm one or more justices as early as this summer.

If Senator Frist or any other elected Republicans or staffers are monitoring FR, tell Skerry, Byrd Kennedy and Schumer this is the constitutional way to appoint judges. Up or down votes on every single judicial picks of our President. End the filibuster TODAY.

And if you want to know just how explosive the Oil For Food scandal could become, just look at how the MSM is ignoring it. That silence speaks volumes.

I'll watch for your thread. I'm hoping my office mates have business elsewhere because I don't want to miss any of this.
