These Senators evidently think they'll be remembered kindly in history. If noted in history books, they'll be noted as partisan hacks and nitwits. There will be no mention of how they saved the Senate from the precipice, quite the contrary. perhaps they won't be around to see the ridicule documented in the books, but they should think now of what it'll be like to be laughed out for centuries.
Why would Andy leave? More D.C. gossip that keeps everyone engaged?
Since they must vote, yeah, I want them to rush the bill through. Give Spectre no time to parade about indignant that he can't bully the President to support his pet ghoulish project.
A footnote: Some Republican strategists figure the president's veto of the Castle bill will enable Bush politically to nominate a moderate to the Supreme Court, but conservatives say that is nonsense.
I would appreciate these stratagists go on the record. So they can promptly be fired for stupidity. They'd be better placed on the other aisle.
I really, really resent Specter "using" his cancer as a call for this embryonic stem cell bill...
He didn't get cancer until long after this was first discussed...and he is just pitiful as a Judiciary Chairman because he is too busy being "sick", if you know what I mean.
*****Why would Andy leave? More D.C. gossip that keeps everyone engaged?*****
He'd leave if he was appointed to the SCOTUS.
Lets add him to the short list: Karl Rove, Ann C, Rush, Andy (Just pass it along and keep the d'Rats stirred up!) wink wink!
