Cry Me A River. Bwahahaha, another win!

Go Steelers!

[JohnnyZ]

Well, my prediction has always been no filibuster, 57 votes in favor. But there will probably be more votes in favor -- I haven't been wrong about anything in over a year and I'm due.

Arguing against cutting off debate, Sen. John Kerry -- who spearheaded the filibuster effort with his fellow Massachusetts Democrat, Sen. Ted Kennedy -- said Alito's record during his 15 years on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has given "the extreme right wing unbelievable public cause for celebration."

Hey... John...

... better go put some ice on that!

Sen. John Kerry -- who spearheaded the filibuster effort

Actually, that was the NY Times, not kerry.

[OldFriend]

There really are now words for the vile vicious comments by the likes of Kennedy and his ilk.

They shamed themselves and the senate.

...Alito's record during his 15 years on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has given "the extreme right wing unbelievable public cause for celebration."

Sounds good to me...

Music to my ears! This is almost as good as election 2004!

I, for one, would like to congratulate Senator Kerry for single-handedly devising the plan to make what would have been a decent victory for President Bush with the confirmation of Judge Alito into a HUGE win for the President!!!!!

Court packing...lol.
Court packing is exactly what KKK want to do.

[technomage]

One sound bite that stands out for me was Senator Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy saying (and I am paraphrasing from memory): The people are just now getting interested in the Alito confirmation. What's the rush? What's next on our agenda: Asbestos? That's really interesting.

In that sound bite it shows how completely out of touch and dangerous the DeathoCrats are. The next thing they are going to take up is asbestos?

No mention of what will prove to be the greatest world crisis since the Cuban Missile Crisis: Iran and Hammas. Not one word from any DeathoCrat. Just ignoring the problem until it bites them in the ass!

Proof that they are unfit for the office they hold and should be removed. By ignorning this situation they are putting all Americans at risk.

Thank GOD President Bush is standing firm against Iran and Hammas!

[TheForceOfOne]

Well, not all the news is bad for John Kerry. Helen has decided to wave her normal $20.00 fee for her services.

Looks like you're getting a freebie tonight Johnny!

Woo Hoo! :P

[maggief]

Celebrate good times ... Come on!

The Pied Piper of Davos
John Kerry made news with his yodel,
From a room in his Switzerland hotel.
The Libs' wild-eyed Piper
Has made them too hyper.
They'll soon be extinct like the Dodo.

[putupjob]

My goodness, that cloture vote was pathetic to all the filibuster packing RATS. It shows how effective it is to be mustering a filibuster from a Swiss ski resort.

[Buck W.]

Just found this post at DU--so clueless, thought it might be a Freeper:

16. WHY do we keep losing?????????????????
WHY? If we're better people, and have better ideas, and are better for the world--WHY DO WE KEEP LOSING?

[Mr. Brightside]

after a spirited ninth-inning campaign by some Democratic senators

If the MSM was writing about a Republican filibuster attempt, I doubt they would they use the word "spirited."

More like.... "a desperate attempt that was doomed from the beginning... a vicious reaction from the party's right wing..."

[F16Fighter]

Arguing against cutting off debate, Sen. John (Also-Ran) Kerry -- who spearheaded the filibuster effort with his fellow Massachusetts DemocRAT, Sen. Ted (Swimmer) Kennedy -- said, "Blah, blah, blah..."

Such statesmenship.

[YaYa123]

"The motion to cut off debate drew the support of 53 Republicans.."

Help me out here. We have 55 republican senators, right? Chaffee voted "no". Which other republican voted with him?

[Jemian]

So, Alito caused a FIZZLE-buster.

[Jorge]

Seeing "idiot" Bush beat Kerry in 2004, and then again in the Ohio recount debacle just wasn't enough...
They just had to bring him out of mothballs to get his sorry butt kicked once again.... by Bush.
I love it.
