Is there a GOP rule that one has to be this clueless to run for Senate?

[t2buckeye]

Libby indictment "provides a window into what this is really all about, how this administration manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted to destroy those who dared to challenge its actions"

What a@@hole!!!Fitzgerald HIMSELF said the indictment had NOTHING to do with the Iraq war! Let's just hope that they overreach as they usually do! I say Republican Senators better start taking to the floor NOW and counter these absolutely FALSE assertions by Reid, et al. Frist's anger better be more than words here...start retaliating Reid's lies with TRUTH!

Totally agree...I think the repubs got the senate confused between the country club and the senate dems.

Does this idiot not realize that impeachment is essentially the same as an indictment.

And for that matter, Spiro Agnew was indicted in 1973, as well as several other Watergate figures who held positions at least as high as Libby.

High level Clintonistas usually got caught up in the Arkancide epidemic just before indictments were handed down.

Why did Frist and the GOP ever trust the 'Rats in the first place?!

Well, of course. Trusting 'Rats, or any politician, is pretty stupid.

Also stupid is for a White House staffer to commit perjury before a grand jury, thus giving the 'Rats an issue to flog.

[Bush gal in LA]

Memo to Frist. There's a reason we call em dirty, sneaky, RATS!!!

[JRios1968]

Worse, he is also saying that in 1-1/2 years, he will revert to trusting Reid again.

Kind of the same as the Michigan Affirmative Discrimination opinion by O'Connor? You know, the one who was ok for 25 years?

The Senate needs an overhaul to bring it into the 21st century or at least a post 9/11 world. A world in which events move quickly, not ponderously.

The politicians act as entertainers in front of microphones and cameras - on and off the Senate floor. They talk about the dignity of the Senate and its history, yet do nothing to bring clarity or dignity to the proceedings. Everything is done for the sound bite, the next TV appearance and personal or political gain.

It's time to tell them to cut back on the tediousness and redundancy of their committee work, their archaic rules and regulations. Private businesses who encumber themselves with micro managers soon have no business.

It's time they behaved as the people do. We have a problem we fix it.

To Senator Frist, hate to break it to you, but they are the opposition, the enemy, the ones who want you out of a job.

[surely_you_jest]

Frist, after grabbing his ankles yet again, is surprised to learn that Harry then uses him like Lucky Pierre.

Pathetic.

[Paladin2]

While that certainly explains why Frist is not to be trusted with a leadership role.

Reid said Libby was the highest level official to be indicted in some 130 years, then asked: "Is it any wonder, Mr. President, I am worried about my grandchildren?"

Oh Puhleeeeeeeeeeeze! *rolls eyes* Reid has got to be the biggest drama queen I've ever seen.... Well... besides little Tommy D...

[sirchtruth]

Attention President Bush. The New Tone hasn't worked. Time to take them to the mat once and for all.

Oh, I guess that's why Repubs are STILL in power, gaining seats every term, The MSM/dems are losing viewers, the absolute irrelevence increase with virtually eavery breath because the NEW TONE "hasn't worked?!"

Take an idea that's proven to work and go opposite from what the reality has been, more seat for REPUBLICANS.

The New Tone hasn't worked is the epidemy of idiocy, and kneejerk stupidity!

[Yardstick]

I wonder if this extreme maneuver by the Dems makes it easier now for the Republicans to use the "nuclear option" if the need arises.

[No Longer Free State]

The gentlefolk who spent an amazing amount of their lives telling us about the Senate being the "saucer that cools" (blah blah blah) during the Clinton impeachment hearings threw a temper tantrum today because the two-year, politically driven investigation into what really happened when their churl, Valerie Plame's boy-toy, lied about his CIA employment didn't result in a witch hunt against Carl Rove or the "neocon conspiracy." When the little brats didn't get their way, they dragged the Senate out of the conservatory, right past the playpen, and into the pigpen. Reid and Schumer are petulant two year olds, and their true colors are finally showing through.

If they pull this stunt again, here's what I want to see: Republican Senators demanding closed door sessions to demand investigations into: Hillary Clinton's fundraising, Chuckie Schemer's DSCC's theft of Mike Steele's financial records, Kerry & Kennedy outing a REAL undercover CIA agent on the floor of a Senate hearing room, Chappaquidick, New Jersey governors and senators, and Barbara Boxer's existence. One a day between now and Christmas ought to do it.

"It means from now on, for the next year and half, I can't trust Senator Reid," the Tennessee lawmaker said.

The problem was/is he trusted him in the first place.....

[satchmodog9]

I would love to see one of our sissy boy GOP senators come out firing. Why not put the RATS in the dog house with a simple statement about the RATS having all the same intelligence and voting for the war twice. Make it clear that they voted for the war twice with the same intel so there is no way to lie their way out of it.

[Paladin2]

Fitzmas turned out to be Fitzadan and the 'Rats were faced with more power fasting. Then came Alitoween and they became crazed with hunger for power.

[Paladin2]

While --> Well. How did that happen? LOL

[narses]

"Reid said Libby was the highest level official to be indicted in some 130 years,..."

BULL!

Try the scum from the Clinton administration, including Web Hubbell. Try Spiro Agnew, try Cap Weinberger, try so many more. Does NO ONE call the Dems on their lies?
