C-span

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

Coming up on 3:00. Republican's up again. Maybe Kerry will get to speak again at 4, but only for a half-hour, though, since they vote at 4:30 (heh, heh)
To: txrangerette
Exactly. But on a bunch of other stuff you can count on Byrd to be a NUT.No argument there. Byrd made the case that these other bozos in the Democrat party should have heeded, but, they're in it for the goobers in the leftist blogosphere.

Oh, I know that. What I hope is that he doesn't win his own state in the primaries. Probably a futile hope, as Hoosier democrats just love Evan.
Got to leave...grandparent duty calls. Everyone take good notes, and I will check on things when I get home.

A hospital spokeswoman said there was no record of Ensign being admitted. His aide says he will be released later in the day. Perhaps a little misdirection play to protect the Senator. Hopefully Ensign shows up in Washington, DC. There should be a couple of Lear jets just sitting around at the Las Vegas airport that he could hotwire or charter.

Ditto .. makes me so sick. They call it "privacy issues," "right to choose" or now, just "Roe" ... but they never have the honesty and cojones to call it what it is:
the right to kill babies in utero for convenience or birth control.

I imagine Bush would put Alito right up in the balcony next to Laura to remind everybody what they haven't done. That's exactly what I would do, Howlin.
Hope your hand is doing all right. I'm debating whether or not to stay at work and FReep through the SOTU, or try to rush home, and maybe make it home by the 6pm PST start.

Since, it's being reported that Ensign is OK...just cuts and bruises...he's not even hospitalized. He can easily direct the senate for a proxy vote.
