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...

[Dad yer funny]

yeah , THE LEAKER will be horrid!!

[ken5050]

He just said he will vote for her..

[Bahbah]

I can make out about 3/4 of what Leaky says.

[Soul Seeker]

I don't think Leahy listened to Spectre. perhspa he needs to take his own advice. LOL

bring Cheney down, he knows how to handle leahy. ;-)

[Maigrey]

If you post your picture, I want it from your "real airplane" days. tee hee!

[Pukin Dog]

I did, and it was. But never again.

[Fudd Fan]

A REAL filabuster would be great - not this CHIK-FIL-A-buster that we're talking about now.

[GB]

Good for him, but I want his vote for cloture and for a simple majority to approve judicial nominees more than I want his actual vote for her.

[ken5050]

Did you notice during Frist's opening comments, he talked about both Owen nd JRB together..Is he purposely packaging them?

[Bahbah]

Abuse of power, checks and balances, minority rights, Leaky gets them in without hardly taking a breath.

[Fishtalk]

This is so good.

Even I, who is a bit of a political junkee, didn't understand the basis of all the Dem spin.

Here's another if anybody knows. Husband comes home last night and asks "What happened to Abe Fortas?"

I shrugged. I've heard the name but didn't know any details. I asked why he wanted to know.

"Because I heard the Dems say that Repubs filibustered Abe Fortas. If this is true then I do NOT support the Repubs now for trying to stop a Dem filibuster."

So you see, even people who pay attention get confused by all these Dem talking points. Their spin if you will. Some would call them lies.

So how the heck is Jane and John Sixpack supposed to wade through it all?

Which, I understand, is part of the Dems' cheating plan. They only use the truth when it serves their purpose.

[Miss Marple]

HA! I came in to check the thread and you leave me good news about CBS!

Leahy is up, so I will be going back out to the garden. See you later!

[Howlin]

Oh, Leahy is speaking? I put myself into a pseudo-coma so I wouldn't have to listen........LOL.

[MamaLucci]

I can make out about 3/4 of what Leaky says.

[AFPhys]

"release from party loyalty" won't work. It isn't even worth discussing it.

[Howlin]

*Snicker*

[ken5050]

Take the weed killer..pretend to be spraying Leahy..

[Bahbah]

LOL, that's perfect.

[Josh in PA]

Somebody made a comment or "joke" that traitors get cancer.

Ha Ha.. Absolutely hilarious.

[Fudd Fan]

Oh dang.. we're in the Johnson administration now.
