AP doesn't do a very good job here of making a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Pete Yost's rewrite will be better at shaping the story for the DNC.

Is there a conservative Hispanic female on anyone's USSC short list?

[McGavin999]

LOL, I think that would be great! It might benefit us if he appoints here as soon as congress comes back in September. That way they'll be in full scream during the elections.

Guess who just joined John Kerry at the KOS looney bin? None other than Ted "Splash" Kennedy.

"Barbara Boxer (D- CA), Dianne Feinstein (D- CA), Christopher J. Dodd (D- CT), Richard J. Durbin (D- IL), Debbie A. Stabenow (D- MI), Robert Menendez (D- NJ), Harry Reid (D- NV), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D- NY), Charles Schumer (D- NY), Ron Wyden (D- OR), Russell D. Feingold (D- WI)."

Now thats a nice covey of moonbats..

Wait til Darth-Bader Ginsburg needs a replacement

Or Stevens. At least one of them may well retire and/or die in the next couple of months. The liberal heads are going to literally explode.

I admit to not being fully versed in the filibuster debate, but it seems to me that once again (as I've heard Rush Limbaugh say) the Democrats are about to step in a big pile of excrement.

I believe that polls demonstrated that a comfortable majority of the public approves of Judge Alito. I think if the Democrats succeed in the filibuster, the public will be behind Frist using the 'constitutional option' to nuke the filibuster. After all, they see nothing dreadful about Alito...

So aren't the Dems once more cutting their own throats?

Rush is right...they defeat themselves. At least they do something right.

[Figment]

"And Rep. Harold Ford, seeking a Senate seat in Republican-leaning Tennessee, dismissed the filibuster approach openly"

What the hell does Jr's opinion have to do with a Senate debate? What is Harold Jr's opinion on his aunts removal from the Tennessee Senate on vote fraud?

[Mo1]

Wow .. the Gang of 13

Gee .. what a lucky number

[Reactionary]

Go ahead, little liberals. We'll trade your little tirade for Janice Rodgers Brown.

And then? All Your Base Are Belong to Us.

[NYKbyD]

Walk the party line...they are ALL guilty of it. Blue State CT is safe haven especially with Dodd on his side

[DeSoto]

"Into the valley of Death rode the 500...."

Oopsy, I think you goofed.

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

'Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!' he said:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

Actually, there were 637 men involved of which 247 died.

Congratulation on the terific job you have done with the Alito/Kopechne connections.

He's dirt to us -- but appears to be a hero with the moonbats... I bet the moonbats will be singing a different tune if RBG retires and they cannot filibuster.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I can't take reading that stuff.... I particularly liked the response to him from the guy who just knows his phone and computer were tapped.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Committed to Filibuster:
Barbara Boxer (D- CA), Dianne Feinstein (D- CA), Christopher J. Dodd (D- CT), Richard J. Durbin (D- IL), Debbie A. Stabenow (D- MI), Robert Menendez (D- NJ), Harry Reid (D- NV), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D- NY), Charles Schumer (D- NY), Ron Wyden (D- OR), Russell D. Feingold (D- WI"

SO, Hillary is going to out Kerry Kerry? There goes her moderate stance. Thank you Karl Rove.

[Soul Seeker]

I'm getting a kick out of this. Was it not three months ago they were slamming G.W.B. for being a putppet of the"right wing extremists" that torpedoed Harriet Miers, and yet, here they are jumping for the Left wing extremists. LOL

The difference is that those of us objecting to Miers mostly didn't so on a) ideological grounds and b) are in touch with the majority of Americans. Kos and buddies are not.

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

they do tend to be quite paranoid. i've read about 4 threads over the last few days about DUmmies believing that they have been "visited" by the Feds or spied on. It's a scream what these morons believe.

[Arizona Carolyn]

If they are doing outlandish things to draw attention to themselves then maybe they are being tracked. When I read some of the things these people believe the government has reason to be concerned by some of them.

[wildandcrazyrussian]

I juat happened upon this thread, so am late with this.

You being a student of history are aware, I am sure, that the Light Brigade was part of the massive assistance rendered by the British Empire (officially Christian) to the Ottoman Empire (state religion Islam, which had massacred and persecuted Christians for centuries) against the Christian empire of Russia. That'w why the Charge of the Light Brigade is doubly tragic, in that they died valiantly defending evil.
