C-span 2 ^ | May 18, 2005

[ken5050]

Welcome, all you Freepers, to the continuing C-span soap operas about judicial nominations. "The Guiding SEARCHLIGHT, " "As the SENATE Turns, "One NOMINATION to Live" "GERIATRIC Hospital" (for all you Byrd and Lautenberg fans out there). Follow along with us, as the Dems raise the level of histrionics, bloviation, pontification, and all around bad acting to new highs, er, lows...

[Howlin]

No way. Maybe 3.

"...Rather, he will vote for the Constitutional option simply because it makes him the most powerful man in the Senate when it comes to judges..."

Excellent analysis and interesting take on Arlen.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Just a minute. Reid is trying to connect with the youths. I believe his new rap name is Notorious Phil Uh. Bustah. Just another angry voice in the 'hood. Taking it to the streets and demanding a fair chance. To excoriate, annihilate and generally just hate W.'s crib. Watch for the inevitable L to be tattooed on Notorious' forehead, with rest of the dems. following suit. To protest W., The Loser, don't ya know.

[Fudd Fan]

I think they have sexual preference in common too.

[Howlin]

Oh, I have a question for you: back in 2000 (I think) wasn't there some sort of big blow up when the GOP just MENTIONED not using the ABA ratings in judicial appointments? Do you remember that?

[badgerbengal]

None of the moderates get it. If they want the Republican nomination you have to be a conservative not a weak moderate. I know some of them turn out not so great but at least be conservative untill you run.

[Txsleuth]

Debbie Stabenow looks like she is dreaming about what she is gonna have for dinner in that picture!

At least she doesn't look like a hugh bottle of Pepto Bismol like Mikulski looked like in the previous picture!

[ken5050]

Why is Ralph Reed running for Lt Gov of Ga....HE wants to be president also....and he knows the path to the WH does NOT go through the Congress....but rather the state house..

[ken5050]

She's pretty vulnerable...because Graham isn't very popular in Michigan any more..

[the anti-liberal]

L to be tattooed on Notorious' forehead... To protest W., The Loser, don't ya know.

As usual, unknowingly talking about themselves.

[badgerbengal]

Thats fitting for Mikulski because she makes me sick.

[ken5050]

Take out menu...on the speeddial..

[Sacajaweau]

You're right...and it surprised me...I remember the GOP's "so what"...it's not the only point for judgement.

[Miss Marple]

Indeed I do remember the flap over not using the ABA ratings! Good catch!

""...Rather, he will vote for the Constitutional option simply because it makes him the most powerful man in the Senate when it comes to judges..."

I concur, in fact I came up with this same analysis about a week ago and posted it. (I'm too lazy to go find the link.)

BTW, I think Sen Hatch is a much more engaging speaker than Sen. Chambliss. Though what the Georgia senator was important but his delivery is way too much like reading.

[kcvl]

Are you on their email list? :-)

Absolutely! Someone has to keep up with the enemy. lol!

[Dolphy]

He wants to be president.

Well he has a funny way of going about it, doesn't he? The once rising star has all but burned out in my mind.

[Fudd Fan]

I tried that, I signed up for the dnc email as one of my alternate aol email names. I could not take it!
