Good morning once again, all you fellow political junkies. Put on a fresh pot of coffee, put the sticky buns in the oven, put a fresh battery in the remote control, and join us for the latest episode of the world's greatest daytime soap opera, "As the Democrats Bloviate." Yup, once again, it's that time...

Instead this will drag out for two days at least.

I agree. Its sort of a "soft filibuster." This way they can pander to the NARAL and NOW nutters for a few days without risking the loss of the filibuster to the nuclear option.

You would think that the dems must not be all that optomistic about getting rid of Bush over....

the NSA scandal, the Abramoff scandal, the Katrina scandal, the Valerie Plame scandal, Tom Delay, the WMD scandal...

because if they thought they were going to take him down over one of the above...they wouldn't worry so much about Alito...because the only way his vote could potentially become a problem...would be if/when Bush gets another nominee...

Greetings, FRiends. Today has been a troublesome day for the 'Rats. We put them on suicide watch. We're checking in every 10 minutes or so waiting for self-hurting behavior.

...and this is the worst part. Reminds me of all those TV preachers preying on the old and lonely and having them send money. Reid and Co. are the TV preachers and NARAL, NOW, etc are the old and lonely.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.......but hell it works. Send us money you clueless idiots, just send us a bit more. We might filibuster if we can just raise another 100 thousand or so.

the NSA scandal, the Abramoff scandal, the Katrina scandal, the Valerie Plame scandal, Tom Delay, the WMD scandal...

But they still have their leaders already pronouncing that GWB has broken the law and has defiantly announced that he will continue to break the law!

Somehow....I think President Bush...and "all the President's men"...will eagerly have hearings into this...because there is no way that the dems can come out of this looking good...

Either way...they come out as more outraged at Bush for looking for terrorist threats...than the terrorists themselves.

Remember, Biden left the committee Tuesday when it was voting so he could go to Israel to monitor an election. But he could be back by the weekend or early next week in time to vote against confirmation.

Yeah...no wonder they are blaming the GOP solely for the Abramoff scandal...they can't envision someone spending more than $10 to bribe a dem!!! LOL

You know what would be funny someone go post over there that they are a LEO....and that offering $10 to a US Senator is a bribe...and that the poster could go to jail....bet you a few DUmmies would wet their pants.
