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...

The DUmmies are actually crying over Kennedy's speech. Thats really all it takes.
To: Cboldt
Would I be correct in labeling Kennedy's rant as his LAST Hurrah?
To: Bahbah
And it was never any more real than that castle at Disney World in any event. Just a facade.Or a scarier version of the ride "It's A Small World".

Yeah, but Alito never said the Constitution was a 'living' document.
To: Founding Father
I'll repeat that Specter has done an outstanding job throughout the Roberts and Alito nominations. With vast reluctance, I have to agree.
My respect for Specter can now be detected by extraordinarily sensitive scientific instruments.

Finally, we are getting ready for a vote. How fitting that Ted Kennedy wrapped up the Dim(wits) argument against cloture. There is no sane argument for not closing debate. So why not let insanity close the debate for your side.
To: Peach
Specter sounds so subdued in comparison to the maniacs who have just spoken.That's cuz he knows he's screwed no matter what he does :)

Try 820 WBAP. They carry Hannity, but he might carry some live.

The DUmmies are actually crying over Kennedy's speech. Thats really all it takes. They're pathetically cheap dates. The Swimmer knows this.
To: Carolinamom
Would I be correct in labeling Kennedy's rant as his LAST Hurrah? Why yes! You would! The last one on Alito, for sure.
It does my spirit good to see him so worked up.
To: Carolinamom
We can only hope.
It's so damn disgusting that the people of Massachusetts have not retired him.

I'm not sure if the gallery is even open, but I wouldn't be surprised at a few screams from there. Perhaps a couple jumpers too.

He may have just "jumped the shark."
Oops that's one of those wet, water, words.
