Did he say anything new .. or wasit the SOS?
It was most definitely the SOS.
There was just a vote that passed 70 something to 16...but, I didn't get to hear what it was.
Do you know?
All I do know about it was that the "good GOP guys" voted against it...like Allen, Sessions, Coburn...
but, Frist voted for it.
I think C-span2 is re-playing what you saw on FNC earlier right now.
Levin up now.
Did you hear Reid on the meeting with Condi Rice? They had it scheduled for Room 407 where it is permitted to discuss classified information but Frist has informed them that it will be in the room where he is speaking now, where you cannot discuss classified info. Reid in full whine mode says this is just typical of this Administration wanting to keep secrets from the American people. Classified information!!! Also whines about how little of her time she can spare for them and how she will just filibuster at the meeting.
Bush's speech being replayed on c-span 2 right now.
Thanks
Old crusty (am I blue edition) up now!
Oh....terrific, her pantsuitness is up talking about how awful our economy is...
She starts out her speech talking about the "spirit of Christmas"...and then talks about the "LACK" of concern (read:money)...by the federal government....
SOOOOO..I guess that means she is admitting that we should think of our government as a "Santa Claus"...just GIVING things to people...
Oh...now she says that BUSH's government is a "grinch"...'
PUH-LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEZE...someone smack her!
She wants to take the oil company profits. Is Hillary! aware that NY is responsible for more Medicaid fraud than any other state.
Did you hear that, Tx. She just took credit for the '97 welfare reform. She is a terrible speaker.
Offshore tax havens? I wonder why?
It must have been a closet Repulican who did that frost job on her.
Here we go with this "It Takes a Village" manure again.
She sees former welfare recipients all the time who just spontaneously come up and talk to her. Sure you do, Senator.
You mean the State were all the perverts who abuse our kids can get tons of Viagra ??
Yup, that one. Right now I'm listening to Susan Collins asking for more money for heating assistance. I cannot believe the amounts of money these people feel they have the right to throw around.
Coburn up? He is slapping every one about spending and political partisanship...
BTW...there should be a rule that NO appropriations spending bills can be passed during the month of December....because the whole "Chistmas giving" theme is USED and everyone is brought up to think of this time of year as a "giving season" that the politicians have their defenses down.
Coburn is smart to get up now...but, unfortunately, I think he is NOT real popular even in the REP party for getting up and lecturing all about how "bad" they are.
