Good morning, fellow political junkies. Senate gets an early start today, ETA 8:30 am. Reid asked for it yesterday, Frist said No Problem, that surgeons start working at the crack of dawn. Hmmm?..Could the good doctor want to "operate" on some Dems today? Debate on Bolton will continue today..they've finished drying the carpet under Voinovich's desk. GOP filed cloture motion yesterday, the vote will be about 6PM tonite. Will the Dems filabuster? Lots of talk that many in the Dem caucus want this to go away, they are NOT happy with Biden and Dodd dragging this out. If the Dems concur, we could get a confirmation vote tonite.

Today's tidbit, for your reading enjoyment. Last night, while channel surfing during the endless American Idol commercials, I caught a few minutes of Hannity and Colmes. Judge Bork was on, calling the Senate compromise a huge sell-out, and talking about the terrible things the Dems said about him during his confirmation hearing. Colmes jumped in, saying that VP Cheney had said some bad stuff about Sen Leahy. ( I'm sure you all recall..LOL) Bork's response..."It's true. He is."

Good comeback from Bork.
Rush said yesterday that Ruth Ginsburg, although extremely controversial (for example, she wanted to do away with Mother and Father's Day) was confirmed in a few months with a 93-3 vote.
(I think I am remembering the numbers correctly).

"they've finished drying the carpet under Voinovich's desk." LOL - This guy doesn't even make a good Dem! A true and obvious idiot.

I really feel for Republicans in Ohio. What a huge disappointment their Senators must be to them. At least when you're a Republican here in Wisconsin, you don't have any expectations of your Senators at all.

A poem for today:
Voinovich cried,
Biden lied
Teddy's "fried"
Inouye died?
