He flew home overnight to speak on the Senate floor.

I wonder who is paying for this one?

"I think even for a senator, it takes some pretty serious yodeling to call for a filibuster from a five-star ski resort in the Swiss Alps," he said.

R-I-C-COLA!!!!

If you use your own plane, does the taxpayer have to pay for fuel? I don't know the answer BTW.

"He flew home overnight to speak on the Senate floor."

Should have phoned it in. He sounded like even he was bored with his speech.

Too funny. McClellan can be a real smart a$$ when turned loose. Those complaining about Scott really need to take it up with his boss.

Good question. I'm sure it would be a tax write off at least. I think Teresa's tax liability was 14%,

Kerry cares so much that he won't even cancel his vacation to support his own filibuster.

Oh I'm sorry, he won't cancel his WORLD SUMMIT to support his own filibuster...

I think President Bush told us that he would divide our enemies. This is great! I would like the constitutional option to be invoked for all those advice and consent obligations imposed on the Senate by the Constitution.

Kerry kind of reminds me of that old folk song. "Super Skier" who thought you could just ski straight down the mountain and never have to turn. When they finally brought him down they had to use three tobaggans to carry all the pieces down the hill!
Maybe it's just me, but this futile filibuster thing is almost comical to watch.

Kerry is smart enough to know that with Alito's confirmation there will be a sea change in the SC.

The 'Rats will not find it easy any more to get liberal legislation passed by activist Supremes and not by elected legislators.

The confirmation aside, the thing to watch is the power struggle between the radical senators and the non-radical ones. Which side will win out in the near future, or will they keep fighting?

If one side "gives in".....which one will it be?
