C-span

[ken5050]

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...

[Semper Paratus]

Swearing-in at noon tomorrow

Immediately followed by lunch with the Bushes.

I suppose they could reject the quorum call, but if 51 Senators are in the room, it's clobberin' time.

[Howlin]

Oh, okay...........from the neck up; I'm so there.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Nah, NASA uses the blackbirds these days.

[newnhdad]

I hope they boycott the vote and boycott the SOTU address.
It's about time that the entire country sees how deranged the once proud party of FDR and JF Kennedy has become.

[michigander]

In other words, do I have time to run an errand? :-)

Go for it. The voting will likely take 20-30 mins. too.

[mosquitobite]

It would be most interesting. I hope Bush tears them up during the SOTU!

[Mo1]

I've seen some calls from DU and DC for the Dems to boycott the vote tomorrow--are they allowed to do that? Can the Senators just not show up for the vote, once cloture passes in an hour or so?

Let'em try it ... FOFL!!

[Graymatter]

Castin' a nay today in Samalitoville
Seeking ways to make his nomination halt
Some folks maintain that our side's gone quite insane
But I know --- this is all Bush's fault!

[ken5050]

Vote starts at 4:30..probably take 30-45 minutes...you have time to go rob a bank..

[CAluvdubya]

LOL! I just got back too but my hair has a white skunk stripe right along the part! I think you had more being gone than I did!

Has anything exciting happened since the swimmer was blabbering this morning?

[hoosiermama]

Just ask someone like Bah Bah or Howlin or ALL for an update someone'll be glad to give it to you.....

[babaloo]

When is the hemming of the black robe?

[RGSpincich]

Slight gaffe there....."Senator Alito" DUmmies will enjoy that.

[YaYa123]

Democrat Drama Queen Bayh still hasn't announced.
Landrieu too. Any others?

Oh I see Dorgan hasn't announced how he will vote either.He, Cantwell, but of course she's voting no on everything.

Also republican Snowe mum on her vote. (taking bets on how she will go?)

[You Dirty Rats]

Update: 3:50pm EST and it still sucks to be a 'Rat.

[Round 9]

In other words I could just read transcripts of Democrat presidential adds for the last 7 elections.

Thanks, it helps to know the status of the cloture vote.

[3dognight]

Nice poetry!

[Cyber Liberty]

We'l just stick to tight head-shots. Nobody need know you are not wearing anything below the neck....
