[LisaFab]

Harry Reid just made a motion, that was seconded, to send the Senate into closeed session.Schumer, Rockefeller and Durbin are before the press asking for a Senate Intelligence investigation into the Plame affair

Your guess is as good as mine.

I think the whole thing is another hilarious example of the Democrats' ongoing OPERATION FOOTBULLET.

Is Droopy all fired up? "Hot damn, we're gonna call Bush a liar!"

Yep.

He's practically wetting himself in glee...

[Morgan in Denver]

Thought the GOPers could vote to make the secret session public, if they have the votes. If so, it would further expose these tactics.

I took a simple nap....and all heck breaks loose...:-)

You are Guennie... Now REALLY LOL!!!!!!!! ;-)

[jennyjenny]

I'm with you. I think it's fantastic. We don't even have to go around saying they're crazy nut cases. All anyone has to do is turn on their TV.

The Reps should walk out of the senate and tell reporters, "It's a lunatic asylum in there, and we aren't psychiatrists."

[MamaLucci]

I hope to GOD the pubbies and RINO'S in the senate have FINALLY
had enough. No more pretense of collegiality.......this is war.

[eyespysomething]

I just called Sens. Chambliss (who is on the senate intel comm) and Isakson, my senators, and told their staffer (as nice as I could) that if they do not stand up to the democrats, whose agenda was to impeach president Bush, that I could no longer support them, nor could I encourage others to. I told them I could not vote anymore republicans into office, I had helped to get them in and now they needed to do something about the childish dems. I told them they are being called spineless, and they need to act like the majority party and quit letting the democrats walk all over them. i told them the report was already issued and it cleared the white house of any wrongdoing re: pre-war intel.

What infuriated me the most was Sen Chambliss's staffer telling me everything was going to be ok. I said not if Sen Chambliss won't stand up to this.

I was actually a lot nicer than I felt, since they are staffers.

[King Prout]

thanks for the ping.

I suppose the Donks are attempting one or two things:

1. create media buzz, as the Alito nomination has "harshed their buzz" on the Plame Game
2. bully the Senate into opening a wider, unlimited muckraking expedition (in time for the '06 election cycle)

why the Republicans have not squelched this move with a simple majority vote is a question I cannot answer.

Closed session about to end by majority vote per CNN.

[RobFromGa]

what is that humming noise coming from Sen. Boxer?

[Petronski]

I hope Cafferty doesn't get too riled up, he might go out and rundown another bicyclist with his car [hic].

[b4its2late]

Ok.

"MSNBC saying Senate to re-open in 10 minutes!"

That didn't take long, did it? I trust Reid & Co. were aptly smacked down in grand fashion!

[mhking]

MSNBC found Pat Buchanan on a telephone somewhere, and is letting him vent...

[Liberty Valance]

Also, the democRat Judge (who donated to the Rats and moveon.org) was removed from Delay's case today. :)

Thank you for that info! It just gets better and better. Go Tom!

"Shut down the Senate with obscure motion so they can do a group Howard Dean impression."

LOL! Thanks for the hilarious image!
