C-span

[ken5050]

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...

Karl Rove...rope-the-dope...Meirs...

[LibertyLee]

This guy no more understands the unitary theory of the Presidency--which only deals with the Executive Agencies--than his dog, "Splash".

[kjam22]

They're really big charts.... but I think they're behind the fat guy talking.

[syriacus]

Teddy is so far left that Alito is an right wing extremist in his bloodshot eyes.

Commie-loving Tedward is still rebelling against his Nazi-loving Daddy.

[confederacy of dunces]

Teddy is so far left that Alito is an right wing extremist in his bloodshot eyes.

Heck, Teddy is so far left that ARLEN is a right wing extremist in his eyes.

[E.C.I.]

I swear he gets himslef all hot and bothered every time he mentions that 10 year old strip search. BLETCH !!!

[Txsleuth]

"Unitarian"....goes to show you that when the dems learn a new word....they use it over and over and over....

just like they were taught in first grade...!

[kjam22]

Now claiming Alito is going to roll back Civil Rights of 1964

[Once-Ler]

The libs castigated Alito for merely quoting people and not giving his own opinion. Now Kennedy takes a quote from Alito, a quote that is merely a definition and that doesn't give Alito's own opinion, and says Alito thinks that way.

Good observation. Now he's tying in the unitary executive theory into nazism and racism. What a tool.

"The face of EVIL, EVIL!!! I tell ya!!" according to Teddy and his ilk. Sure, Teddy. I can sort of see it, if I was drunk and squinting and looking sideways from a mile away.

[maggief]

Dang, new camera angle for charts. Does C-SPAN lurk? lol

[pillut48]

Someone was holding it next to him, but Teddy had a hard time focusing on the words. Surprise.

[LucyJo]

Does anyone know if Kennedy has special bodyguards who make sure he can't stumble, drunkenly, and hit his head?

I don't know about physically, but most of the Dems spend a lot of time propping him up with fawning words of respect and praise...or, should that be feigning.?

[PatriotGirl827]

I'm really not sure what President Bush was thinking when he nominated her.

[Jrabbit]

I get the feeling old Orca is voting against?

[Txsleuth]

They had a blurb on the c-span ticker a little while ago...that said that Frist denied the democrats request to postpone the action on the asbestos ligitation, in order to start debate and legislation on the "lobbying scandal"...

Which might also explain why McCain felt he had to get up this morning and act like lobbying reform is THE MOST important matter that Congress needs to deal with right now...blech

[kjam22]

10 MEMBERS AGREED!!!!

[syriacus]

The poor libs. Too many voters have read Mark Levin's book, Men in Black

[pillut48]

"Who is out of step? Who is out of the mainstream??"

(jumping up and down like Horshak)

Ooooo, Ooooo, pick me! Pick me!! I know the answer to this!!!

;-)

So kennedy just now says that he learned in high school that there were two branches of government "house and senate" and that they pass a law and the president signs it.

I think it's safe to say that we now know why Kennedy flunked in school
