Hannity radio show will have Sen. Lindsey Graham @ 1630 EST - Sen. Bill Frist scheduled for 1700 EST

Hannity Radio Show | 5/24/05 | Libloather

[Libloather]

Frist's first interview since the musshy middle announced their deal. As far actual news goes - Rush called Frist's office and at this point all judges will get a vote.

[DarthVader]

He needs to be voted out with extreme prejudice during the next primary to send the message to RINOs.

[mware]

President just congratulated Owens.

[Libloather]

Graham clearly loves riding polls.

Lindsey says, "If I'm wrong, I'll take my lickin'."

He may have no clue of what he's talking about...

[wrathof59]

After listening to the weasel from SC, I honestly think he's a naive bumpkin who got snookered by McCain and his fellow RATS.

I can't believe anyone is that naive, but senator weasel sounds like it. He actually trusts the RATS, even after Sean played a tape of the RATS in full-attack mode.

This man sounds dangerously naive (or a bad liar).

[Miss Behave]

Lindsey likes leotards.

Pink.

[Ol' Sparky]

Nominating Gonzalez -- who lowered the standard for a judical bypass for teens seeking abortion in Texas -- would result in the same kind of disaster for the Republican party that Graham is facing now. Gonzalez is nothing more than a Anthony Kennedy, Sandra Day O'Connor clone.

[econ_grad]

That's strange. What you are saying is that everyone knew about Souter, except for Bush. He was a disaster in the Circuit Court when Bush appointed him there. At best he could have nominated someone else given that Souter was just elevated to the circuit court and if he wasn't sure how he would turn out. Joe Biden said he was the best nominee for the job. That should have been a bad sign right there.

[GoLightly]

Debating the qualifications of the current nominees is a waste of energy."

Right, but they just voted for no more than an additional 30 hours of debate on Owens. If they are not going to talk about her qualifications during this extension of debate, why the heck are they adding time for more this "waste of energy"?

[jwalsh07]

Oh, I agree whole heartedly. There are plenty of good and able conservatives in SC who do not kneel at King Johns feet.

[stop_fascism]

Try 1380 AM

[kabar]

Graham just stated flat out on Hannity that he will vote to pull the nuclear trigger any in the future any democrats that signed the agreement join in a filibuster of any judges.

First, I don't believe him. Second, why not pull the trigger now rather than wait until we have an impasse? And finally, Graham is not part of the Senate GOP leadership and has no influence on whether the nuclear option will be exercised or not. He will be a black sheep along with the other members of the gang of seven. Graham has turned his back on the party and party discipline.

[Carolinamom]

Like Newsweek's Isikoff, Graham did not dream of the hell fire raining down on him now. He'll just have to live w/it...his legacy has found him.

[Prolifeconservative]

"I did detect a little fear in his voice."

I did too. In fact, I think he is receiving such a backlash from his conservative consituency he is having a lot of misgivings about his deal with the Devil.

[double_down]

Grahm is using double speak. He is claiming that "future" nominees will get up or down votes. He claims that existing nominees will be disposed of using the same procedure used in the past, but some will fail. This is so transparent -- the fix is in. Brown, Owen and Pryor will pass as reported. Saad will be voted down in the judiciary committee by the dems and with the help of Grahm and Dewine. Myer will be defeated on the Senate floor by the dems and 6 of the rinos. My guess is that Kavenaugh and Haynes will either lose in committee or the rinos will ask Bush to withdraw their nominations. The rinos wrote off the existing nominees and want to start over with new nominees -- ones that have been run by the rino crowd by Bush before they are nominated.

[Miss Behave]

Well said, kabar.

[Cousin Eddie]

That's a hollow promise/prediction. I would bet any amount that the agreement went something like this:

The 3 get confirmed. We'll help you kill a few others but put the proper lipstick on the pig...you 7 dems agree to allow an up or down vote by ending the filibusters against all 7 nominees, and in the final vote, we'll vote with you against 3 or 4 of the others that you dems don't like.

That way Graham can tell Sean, "See, we got the up or down vote, but gosh darn it all, they didn't have the 50 votes needed to reach the bench.

[churchillbuff]

Lindsey likes leotards. Pink. """

Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I don't want this fairy in the Senate anymore.

[shempy]

Well, the rumor is they both like women so there could be some infighting for dates....

I knew about Clinton, but Lindsey Graham likes women? I'd have never guessed.

[Ol' Sparky]

Sean proved he had some principle during the Terri Schiavo starvation, but he has, foolishly, allowed McCain on this program time and again and kissed his ass. He also was the pseudo-campaign manager for another RINO, Arnold Schwartzenegger.

There is a reason why Republicans have been winning elections for a decade and conservatives have virtually nothing to show for it -- the Hannity mentality of compromising and support liberal, spineless and Republicans.

[advance_copy]

I did detect a little fear in his voice.

Yep, he's scared and it shows. Be afraid, Senator, be very afraid. Your political career is toast.

Lindsay Graham and the Satanic Seven's political future
