[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning AB. Thanks for the thread, as usual.

[Sybeck1]

Wonder if Durbin will get asked about the "Frist Ammendment"?

[mainepatsfan]

Let's see how they try to keep the Rove story going this Sunday.

[mathluv]

Thanks, as always, AB. I look forward to hearing Sen Cornyn on Fox.

[NautiNurse]

Oh my--Gonzales and Schumer, Gonzales and Plugs. Very interesting possibilities.

[JustaCowgirl]

Looks like an interesting lineup today, with some actual Republicans on this week, except for This Week.

I hope John Cornyn assists Chuckles in demonstrating what a
slimy weasel he is. Just the contrast between the persona of those two should be enough to accomplish that.

Can anyone recall, if Shummer has missed a Sunday show??

I can't remember not seeing/hearing his B/S.

[Just mythoughts]

Wonder if Moolah Durbin will be asked about this article, or if he will bring it up allllll by himself????

As usual DrMichael's Saturday night performance was far superior to his Friday night's outing. After a week off, from the previous Saturday night, we were a little rusty and it seems it takes us an evening to get back in the groove. My two separate solos during the breaks in Long Time Gone (CSN&Y) were inspired, IMHO! We've also tried to add a few new songs to our repetoire: Poncho and Lefty (Highwaymen), Come Monday (Buffet) & Mama Tried (Merle Haggard). Yee-HA!

Thanks for posting!

Schumer/Cornyn should be good... if they're on together.

[RedRover]

Anyone know who "former Army Capt. Stefanie Pelkey" is?
I Googled and got nada.

[maica]

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.

[Zechariah11]

Why is McCain on again??????

[areafiftyone]

I see SCHMUCKIE Schumer is getting his Kodak Moment this morning!

[maica]

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 York’s 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 it’s personal.

THIS WEEK (ABC): Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.; former Army Capt. Stefanie Pelkey.

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?

Good Morning, AB.

[DTogo]

Juan Williams shows his true colors (no pun intended) as a racists/sexist: Roberts is now somehow unqualified because he's a white, male, Ivy Leaguer.
