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...

I'd really like to know why he wasn't on hand to vote.

So Garrett followed up with a slightly more pointed query: "Who is the leader of the Democrats on DOMESTIC issues?" And Reid said "That's an unfair question to ask"

Lol! Did you notice how he quickly looked down when he said that? It was almost as if he thought someone was watching him and he just might get snuffed or something if he said the 'wrong' name. Hmmm...

Then I assume you have never eaten the apple dumpling thingy at the CB? :o) I ate almost a whole one once - my cholesterol didn't settle down for nearly a year. lol

You're a very wise woman to stay away from the white stuff. And btw, saw where your daughter is moving close - I know that makes a mother's heart (yours) heart happy.

Actually I'd like "W" to nominate Janice Rogers Brown....They wouldn't dare filibuster her!

LOL! Right, I've never tried the apple dumpling thingy...lol. After I consume three of their biscuits and 2 side orders of their saw mill gravy, I can barely waddle out of the restaurant. :)

YES!, thank you, she and the children will be right across the street!

Is your cholestrol in check now?

I'd really like to know why he [Hagel] wasn't on hand to vote.

Me too. It'll be known. The Senate record will include at least a comment about "necessarily absent," and oft-times, the Senator will express the reason for an absence.

Not that I think Hagel will be forthcoming, I think he won't be. But it's an interesting enough tidbit that the facts behind his absence will be known.

Oh Darn -- DIFI voted nay, does that mean Cindy isn't running??

Don't give up just yet...after DIFI did a flipflop and said she'd vote for the FB, Cindy said, "Well, I may just run against her anyway. She's for the war and loooves Bush just waaay too much."

I'm paraphasing but that's pretty well the jest of it [was in today's Seattle Times.]

Guess she thought DIFI rolled over so easily with the first threat, she'd go for the whole ball of wax. Gotta agree, could be fun!

LOL on the sawill gravy and biscuits. They probably got your plate started when you walked in the door. We eat at CB once or twice a month on our travels to Baton Rouge. Love their veggie plates for the kiddos. French toast is to die for.

What a relief for you after she was living on that rock out in the Caribbean with hurricanes whipping all around them. And wonderful the children live so close to Granny, eh? Just like the old days. Cayman is paradise - went there on a dive once.

Thank you for asking - My cholesterol is perfect now in all areas - took a year even with meds to get it there. I do not want to go there again. I'm not a salt person but sea salt, eh? Will have to look into that.

Fox News used...."The Democrats had sound (Clip from Kerry) Furry (Clip of Kennedy) and it all signified nothing!"

IMO very clever.

GOOD regarding your cholestrol. Sea salt --- I prefer it to that iodized salt. It's a taste preference with me. I use a lot less sea salt.

Yeah, Cayman is lovely, but after Ivan, she started making plans to exit. It's a matter of their safety more than anything else.

I haven;t eaten French Toast in years... now I'm wanting some, thanks to you...lol.

Maybe he was doing one of those courtesy trade thingies?...Someone of the "D" party had a legitimate reason not to be there, so he declined to vote as a courtesy....Someone explained and named it early this afternoon on the thread.

Let me ask you two something (seeing as how we have hijacked this thread from its original purpose).

Are your spring flowers and trees in bloom? Mine are here! I am stunned. The Japanese magnolia is in FULL bloom and ditto for most of the flowers in the yard.


I hope this is not an indication of a long, hot summer?


bigskyfreeper even told me that there's flowers in his yard now and he's in Montana!

Yep, those nine words summed it all up - especially the last one - "nothing". They should be cringing in shame tonight looking back on this day - they looked like the fools they are before the entire world.

As usual...you are spot on...I believe...Chafee has been given chances....but, the judiciary was one of the most important campaign promises by Bush...and Chafee just gave him the finger...

just like Specter has in the past.
