Senator Feinstein on his high horse - getting all heated up about torture

Do you mean Senator Frankengold?

[saveliberty]

Right. I appreciate what he is doing now, but I will not trust him unless he earns it back :-)

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

Oh. Well, I guess this all proves that I didn't have a clue about any of it! But, thanks anyway.

[Dog]

The media is mad....they are not getting the story they want today....so far the mental midgets that are Democrat Senators have not laid a finger on Alito. Even old Brit Hume is drinking the kool-aid today.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I'm amazed that he hasn't adopted the Leahy "Adopt-a-Terrorist" trope.

Doesn't this dope realize that endowing Islamic lunatics who want to murder us with due process rights is what the American public wants, nay demands?!

[saveliberty]

LOL I had a she/he moment. Russ Feingold, right? :-)

He can be annoying. Torture was already against the law.

[defconw]

I think I should write Senator Frist and suggest that he partner up the kids with an adult, buddy system, Sessions can follow Graham around, Allen/Voinovich, etc. Smack them in the head when they foul up!

[Dolphy]

Pukin, you are just the personality for an intelligent woman...at least as I know you here on FR. You will need to find a way to begin your efforts here :)

[saveliberty]

:-) Agreed with all comments.

[Jrabbit]

WTH? Mock sessions? What does F'gold want? Alito to say "Bush is a scum sucking porcupine"? Aint gonna happen!

[saveliberty]

She caused trouble afterwards didn't she? Football was it?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Naah, I'm just really bad at explaining the rationale for the odd screen names I choose.

I didn't even try describing the origins of TheMarjaofKrispyKremes.

That was my nick on Yahoo.

Anyway, I guess my point is that the novel is pretty cool, at least I thought so.

;)

[Dog]

Rush is right about something he said today....the first question a sitting Dem Senator asked was about torturing Al Qaeda prisoners.....the public isn't as stupid as they think.....they noticed that question.

[beyond the sea]

I'd marry Brit in a minute if we were both available

I hear you. I'd marry Megyn yesterday! I swear, she's exceptional in all ways. She's not just beautiful, she has a great personality and is very, very smart and does a great interview. She never wastes any time either.

Here's the ring, Megyn.

;-)

What does F'gold want? Alito to say "Bush is a scum sucking porcupine"?

Yes.

[ken5050]

Plugs is now on Hardball..they're NOT showing the live hearing..Chrissie is belaboring the Dems weak questioning..why ASlito is getting off so easy..Biden is dumbly grinning....looks pathetic..

[mware]

wow finegold is trying to nail the administration on advice Alito received during prep.

He is hunting for ammo to go after the president after.

[Pukin Dog]

You're nice, you're smart and you're funny.

You left out sexy and pretty.

Maybe if I were still a dashing flyboy, but now I'm just a lowly Bass fisherman. I'm much more appealing stepping out of a F-14 Tomcat, than out of a Ranger bass boat.

Do you think Megan can toss a baitcaster?
