Meanwhile, Senator Kennedy's staff searches frantically for another Anita Hill, while the Senator consoles himself with the bottle.

A direct contribution in the sunlight is how the system works best-- Jack Abramoff is not a special interest group. He has a plethora of clients. A direct contribution from him couldn't possibly be for a vote on an issue or bill. Funneling money from a lobbyist's clients to politicians strikes me as being potentially more sleazy. There is no "sleaze-free zone" when it comes to dirty money. I get the sense that Democrats are celebrating their good character because they took something akin to laundered Abramoff money.

EXCELLENT POINT!

That is one of the best points I've seen made around here in a long time. I'd like to encourage you to send this to your Senators, Rush, Brit, etc. Well done and excellent analysis.

[Bahbah]

Have you, or anyone here...ever watched the new Connie Chung and husband show on MSNBC???

It is on here opposite the Saturday morning FNC business show, which doesn't interest me a whole lot so I tuned in. Within 5 minutes, maybe less, I was turning it off and running for the barf bag. It is absolutely awful.

[Phsstpok]

Have you, or anyone here...ever watched the new Connie Chung and husband show on MSNBC???

No, but the pseudo campaign ads for it ("I'm Connie Chung and I approved this message") were kinda cute, in a Smurfs puke all over the floor kinda way.

[LdSentinal]

Steven and Collins voiced their support for Alito.

[Txsleuth]

I am glad you posted that....because I had forgotten what make me the most angry about Fat Timmy's roundtable...

Timmy asked Byron York if McCain is as popular with the conservative wing of the Republican party...as he is with the moderates...

and Byron York said yes...and even acted like he is REALLY popular with the conservatives.

Go figure that!

[Darth Republican]

"Oh just one more thing Chairman Dean, wait a minute... I got it in my notes here somewehre... ahhh... here it is... you said sir,

'Democrats did no favors for Abramoff's Indian tribe clients and nobody got anything out of the Democrats from Jack Abramoff... that no Democrat delivered anything and there's no accusation and no investigation that any Democrat ever delivered anything to Jack Abramoff.'

I just wanted to get that clear in my own mind sir... thank you, I'm sure that will help me wrap this all up."

[Txsleuth]

Well...I think that the only "global climate warming" that most Americans worry about is the kind that comes in the form of a NUKE weapon....or a chemical cloud over a city.

[samantha]

That is what they think now because they are crazed by being in the Minority. Then, when they do not achieve the Majority status in the next two cycles they will wring their hands and try to search what ever is left of their souls, and maybe they will start looking in the mirror and see what we see, aged,broken down,seriously flawed,liars who did not have the courage to do the right thing like Zell Miller.

[Phsstpok]

EXCELLENT POINT!

Thanks, but it's Jack's point, not mine (though I agree with it too). My post was giving him kudos for the original post.

Jack Bull, see #862

You've got fans!

The dirty money is what was laundered through the tribes, which isn't fully traceable or even regularly reported. And didn't Howard (the Scream) Dean say on the Today Show that the Dems didn't receive any money directly from Abramoff but from the tribes and thus, were pure as the driven snow????

The C-SPAN2 tally when the Senate ajourned on Friday was ...

C-SPAN2 unofficial tally of Senators' positions on the confirmation vote of Samuel A. Alito to the Suprme Court.

     Aye = 56                   Nay = 34
     2 GOP yet to commit:       8 DEM yet to commit:

     DEM Crossover = 3          GOP Crossover = 0

     Nelson  (NE)
     Johnson (SD)
     Byrd    (WV)

Bill the Cat was not part of the C-SPAN2 tally.

[Txsleuth]

Don't you just want to smack him??

[Arizona Carolyn]

But he needs the base to get the nomination and Hillary needs her base to get the nomination and we're not going to vote for McCain and Hillary is having trouble with her base, too.

[Peach]

Thanks for the clarification, Phsstpok. That's what I get for posting on the run :-)

[Fishtalk]

Oh my God! That was great!

So, so perfect. I shall smile all day.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I 'accidentally' turned on MSNBC yesterday morning and they were on... I think it was around 9 o'clock (or earlier AZ time.... warning, bring a BARF bag if you tune in.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Well, he did vote against ANWR and I'm not going to forget it.

[Morgan in Denver]

Our CO RINO's talk the conservative line, but when it comes time to support a candidate they insist on having candidates who will appeal to moderates in order to win.

Then, the moderate candidates lose and these so-called conservatives shrug it off and go on to the next election, smug in their realization that their social issues are satisfied by the Democrat who won. To them, it's a win-win outcome.

[Seattle Conservative]

"Can you imagine a debate between Shee-hag and ANYone? Who wants to hear her horrible voice at all?"

Not that it would ever happen, but could you imagine a debate between Cindy and Hillary?? OMG - worse than nails on a chalkboard and lies from both to boot! Ackk, I'm cringing just thinking about it!
