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

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...

Allyohtoe sounds like a new kind of car that is guaranteed to drive over cliffs. I understand that Fat Ted et al are lining up to buy and drive one. One lycra clad guy who broke into the line to get in front, asked, "Do you know who I am?"

[RetroSexual]

They say this is "classic" Kennedy!

On that point, I'd have to agree with them!

[TomGuy]

Kennedy: Approving Alito would increase asthma by increasing air pollution....and water pollution....more mercury. Kids will be most affected --- they won't even be able to go fishing any more.

[Alito = evil, personified.]

[Kennedy is confused about why he is at the podium. He thinks he is talking about some piece of legislation. LOL]

[andy58-in-nh]

John Filibuster Kerry. That moniker is just perfect: it defines a man known chiefly for his ability to dominate any conversation by resort to meaningless oratory. And he can do it in French, too.

[Bahbah]

The Dummies are in heaven. They say this is "classic" Kennedy!

That is truly frightening.

[kellynch]

I thought the Rats didn't like him because he DOESN'T want to kill children.

I'm so confused...

[mystery-ak]

now HMOs......sheeeeeeeeeesh!

[Miss Marple]

Drug companies!!! HMO's!!! When will we hear about Halliburton?

[ken5050]

I want Lindsay Graham to speak next....to reply to this POS

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Will he come out for that mutha ... who has a child ... with asthma?"

And can you believe that is an ACTUAL QUOTE? LOL

[Kaslin]

I don't think it's her

Mary Beth Cahill

[tiredoflaundry]

I get such a kick following their thread! My sides begin to hurt!

[Mo1]

It's hard to disagree with them on that one.

He even pulled a Bryd

HEAR ME NOW!

[kimmie7]

I am SO stealing that.

[Cboldt]

Kennedy, errr, uhhh, Ted ... the Senate can take a mulligan on a court nomination - it's called IMPEACHMENT. And it takes only a few more votes than abuse of cloture does.

Once chance, my butt.

[LisaFab]

The good news is that it appears that Kennedy is using up the Dems whole first hour.

[toddlintown]

"we don't need the Billionaire to tell us that the middle class is having a hard time with rising fuel prices."

Let him cut a deal with Chavez.

[kjam22]

I think the republicans outta give Byrd their next time....

[BigSkyFreeper]

This is so damn hard to follow. It's a convuluted mess. Kennedy's logic is clearly swimming upstream against a tidal wave of last nights binge of Chivas.

[tiredoflaundry]

Sessions would do nicely also.
