LIVE THREAD: Senate Democrats fake filibuster of Samuel Alito - C-span 2 10:00am EST
C-span

Posted on 01/30/2006 5:57:36 AM PST by 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...

Frist just gave the ten minute warning.

Thanks, Gunder! The suspense is suspenseful!

I just caught some of Kennedy's speech on Hannity.

Kennedy is God's gift to Republicans. Howard Dean is just a party favor.

Why does he feel the need to explain anything?

Can we just get a vote going? There will plenty of time to re-cap later.

Maybe Frist is stalling as Ensign is reportedly on his way.

That's legitimate.

"Can Ensign vote by proxy?"

I don't think so.

Relax. He's giving the bums a chance to get back into the chamber. It was empty when he started, it'll be full when he's done. Listen to the background noise.

Well, there are two physician in the Senate.

Don't forget that Sen. Wayne Allard is a veterinarian. They keep him on standby in case Boxer or Cantwell get sick. ;o)
