Give me sex (with my spouse!), then politics, and last on my long list, anything to do with the paedophile. Nothing else makes the list.
Allen is rapidly positioning himself as THE GOP candidate for 2008.
Yes, I hear that McConnell is very good with a secret.
Sadly, this is not an exaggeration. What's more, they don't care.
Bill Frist is scheduled to be a guest on Tony Snow's radio show this morning. I hope Tony asks him about the schedule for future nominees and the Senate.
Thanks for the ping.
Good Morning Everyone! Oh and Ken I agree with the said "strategery" as you laid it out!
yeah , I'll be forced to hear about Wacko , I've invested very little emotion in that sideshow
Man, TOL, those boxers are REALLY getting clean. Another great graphic!
Come on! Not even chocolate?
I'd suggest improving the quality of your sex, ma'am.
As much as I like George Allen, I think it's people on FR who are rapidly promoting him for 2008. :-)
thxs!
It fell on deaf ears, but I am convinced that obstruction is something the American people would understand all too well.
As it is now, it's been characterized as the republicans not attending the the people's business.
Does the cross burner from WV have an office in Rayburn? :-P

They are now free to consider other nominees, like Michigan nominees David McKeague and Richard Griffin, nominated to the 6th Circuit in Cincinnati, and North Carolina judge Terrence Boyle, nominated to the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Va.
Democrats withdrew their objections to the Michigan judges' confirmation during the back-and-forth negotiations. The decision of North Carolinians to elect two Republicans to the Senate will likely clear Boyle for eventual approval.
Boyle's own long-simmering efforts to win a seat on the 4th Circuit stretch back to 1991, when he was nominated by the first President Bush.
After Democrats killed the nomination, Republican Sen. Jesse Helms blocked all of President Clinton's judicial nominations from North Carolina for eight years. In retaliation, Democratic Sen. John Edwards refused to let the Judiciary Committee consider the nomination of Boyle, a former Helms aide, from 1998-2004. Both Helms and Edwards have since left the Senate.
Beyond those nominees, senators plan to leave Bush's other controversial nominees dangling while they wait to see if there's a Supreme Court debate in their future.
The Senate is eager to move on to considering energy legislation and spending bills instead of taking up Bush's other appellate nominees, including Henry Saad, William Myers, William Haynes and Brett Kavanaugh. They were not guaranteed confirmation votes in the centrist agreement, and Democrats are expected to try to block all of them.
Frist said Tuesday he wasn't avoiding a fight over those nominations. "As they come out of committee, we're going to bring them to the floor," he said.
Myers' nomination already is pending in the full Senate, and the others have yet to get a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
