I hope Kennedy got the bottle of scotch I sent him.

The more he talks, the more swing votes I can grab in 06. Its a small investment, cheaper than replacing the shoes I wore out last GOTV in FL.

LOL good one

Good Pick!

On Drudge:

Exclusive Drudge sources in the U.S. Senate's Hart Building heard Democrat Sen. Joe Biden say to Judge John G. Roberts in a private conversation on the hearing room floor: 'You're the best I've ever seen before the committee'...

Right now they are just going through the motions. I can't realistically see Judge Roberts not being confirmed.

[OXENinFLA]

Well I hope you like it, you sent it to me.

};o)

[OXENinFLA]

This one's good too....

[TomGuy]

That one made me laugh. I was about to post it.

lol.

I really liked the story told that Biden was lamenting whenever Roberts spoke that he was using Biden's time, then when Roberts didn't speak, Biden railed on him for not answering the question. Whereupon Roberts said something to the effect that he'd understood from Biden that Biden did not want to hear his answer.

Everyone laughed except Biden.

It isn't very encouraging to realize that in order to believe Roberts won't betray conservatives, once confirmed, one has to believe that he is being disingenuous now, but once on the bench will rediscover his integrity.

The cartoon is funny in that it shows how gullible conservatives are. The Democrats are playing a role (Senator Biden to Roberts: 'You're the best I've ever seen before the committee'...) and conservatives are exhibiting the expected knee-jerk reaction - circling the wagons around a stealth liberal.

I thought Durbin's memo reference on Tuesday -- build up to impending disaster -- shades of soap opera -- to be continued --- Wednesday.

And it bombed big-time, when Roberts said he didn't participate in that meeting where the memo originated.

Durbin's memo reference fizzled and fell like a lead balloon.

I wish they would have put it on CSPAN 1 or 2. I'll have access to a TV today, but not a computer.

And have you heard this?

The hearings

Schumer is the only Senator who is demanding a third round of questioning. Leahy and Specter have been negotiating. Schumer may get his way...

UPDATE: Republicans have decided not to do a third round of questioning...selected Dems will have a third round starting this evening and going into the morning.

[OXENinFLA]

Do you have DirecTV?

The hearings have been on PBS (ch 377)

[maryz]

Court TV carried most of it yesterday. (I watched that until they got to their commentators, who might have been recruited from DU!) And FNC carried chunks.
