I know and so do half of his party LOL
I'm just lucky my wife is an understanding and beautiful woman.
former Army Capt. Stefanie Pelkey.
$$$$$
What's her beef? I am assuming she is not invited to speak of her support of the Administration's programs.
Did you know Graham was a JAG attorney? (Sarcasm)
Why is McCain on again??????
And Jennifer Eccleston toooooo!
;>
Mine is too.
She has always said I can look at the menu. I just can't select anything :)
Yeah they are.
Let's see if Gonzales has the stuff to put Chuckie and Plugs in the proper perspective.
I see SCHMUCKIE Schumer is getting his Kodak Moment this morning!
Just turned on MTP......Is Tim arguing that Roberts' papers should be turned over?
Some background for informed viewing -- I could not find this article posted on FR so just add it here --

Schumer v Roberts
We are in for a lively confirmation process.
To be sure, there will be serious discussion of legal issues, somewhere. But the most entertaining aspect will remain mostly unspoken. Because it is all about vanity.
New Yorks senior Senator, Charles Schumer, has a very high opinion of his own intelligence. You can see it in the upward turn of the corners of his mouth a definite smirk when he says something he regards as particularly brilliant. And, Senator Schumer is indeed a very smart cookie.
He entered Harvard at the age of 17, graduated, and immediately went on to Harvard Law School. For a boy from Brooklyn in the late 1960s and early 70s, this is quite an achievement. There is plenty of competition from that particular geographical area. It is something in which the Senator takes great pride, as a glance at his Senate website will show.
But pride in being smart is a dangerous drug. Even if you think yourself quite the Harvard smarty-pants, someday you are going to run into somebody smarter than you are. If you are lucky and perceptive, you will realize this at a young age. If not, you might just become insufferable to that portion of humanity which can decipher your body language and facial expressions.
Schumer, who loves TV cameras almost as much as he loves being the smartest guy in the room, is about to clash with a guy who outdid him. John G. Roberts and Chuck Schumer both did the Harvard College and Harvard Law School thing. But Roberts graduated from Harvard summa cum laude, and from Harvard Law School magna cum laude.
These are not just funny words. They mean something. A lot, in fact.
I have had a hand in grading undergraduate senior theses at Harvard and awarding honors, and am well-aware of the criteria used in handing out the Latin signifiers. One mentor told me that professors should only give summas to people they regarded as smarter than themselves. (That's a very small group indeed.) Very, very few people among the highly accomplished undergraduates get summas. You must stand out as clearly a step ahead of the best and the brightest in intellectual firepower and achievement.
Senator Schumer has ample reason for pride in his ample mental agility. But now he must face someone younger and even more accomplished.
This time its personal.
Well, McMeMeMe has an opportunity to undo the good he's done and make more headlines. Will he do it?
Or, is it a better question to ask, HOW will he do it?
I can't remember not seeing/hearing his B/S.
Actually, Schumer has NOT been a regular. Shumer is assuming the moonbat attack position more and more. I figure he's speaking for Hillary! so she can coyly remain in the background while letting Chuckie speak her mind. It's only recently that he's been on so much.
The one with the most appearances has to be Joe Biden (D-ABCCBSNBC), followed by McCain. To show balance, the MSM loves to have McCain, Specter, and Hagel. All famously RINOs. Lately they've had a lot of Lindsay Graham. Probably since he's been quick to criticize the administration and compromise with the dems.
Mine says I can have whatever I want from the menu if I think I can afford it. However the price WILL be high.
