"with the right to privacy and Roe v Wade on the table this is an Extra-ordinary circumstance ..But, but, Barbara, The Constitution is a living, breathing document, so that means things change, and guess what, Roe v Wade isn't popular any more....
What goes around, comes around...

Boxer needs more Twinkies. I think her sugar level is too low again.

How's that taste, Sen. Graham? How 'bout you McCain? They love it. Of course, it has a nasty kick about election time (at least if the fine folks in South Carolina and Arizona have enough gumption to realize that they've been rolled all these years).

"You must see something in Frist that he's failed to display to date. Every time he's pressed, he folds up like a clothes hamper"
That's not quite right, freind. The two outstanding votes to go nuclear last time were DeWine and Graham, remember. That wasn't Frist's fault. The GOP in the gang of 14 have already said an ideological disagreement does not constitute an extraordinary circumstance. Even McCain said SCOTUS nominee will get up & down vote.

KCRA's News Anchor Stan Atkinson had it right during the '92 race between Babs and Bruce Herschensohn when during an unfortunate "open mike" episode caught him muttering "b*tch" following a clip of her campaigning.

See this? ---->
It's my complete lack of surprise.

Well stated. Babs Boxer is a blight on the institution of the Senate (and with some of the folks that have passed through there, that's saying a lot).
