Good Monday morning, once again, fellow political jinkies. The NFL season may be over, but the political season inside the Beltway is 24/7/365. So join us, if you can, as those wacky Dems on the Senate Judiciary committee reprise their pitiful efforts to once again smear President Bush and score political points..
Don't we all?
But don't worry about it. If she wins they won't bring it up again.
OFF TOPIC:
Reid blasts Bush's Medicare cuts
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called President Bush's $2.77 trillion budget, which was released Monday, "Republican corruption on display."
In a statement released before the budget was made public, Reid, D-Nev., attacked the president for cutting Medicare and other programs. He said that the elderly were already familiar with "the price of corruption" from wrestling with the president's Medicare prescription plan.
"Now the President's priority is to protect those special interest profits while jeopardizing access to care for those same seniors," Reid said.
The budget aims to reduce the growth of Medicare spending by $36 billion in the next five years, mainly by limiting increases in hospital payments and freezing payments to nursing homes.
Most of Bush's attempted cuts in domestic programs last year were restored by Congress, which could be even more likely in a year when the entire House and one-third of the Senate face elections.

That was kind of what was going through my mind every time she came on the screen. :-)
Sorry, must have been posting it at the same time as you.
...I wasa talking about Goober
using your Italian accent now are you?? ;>)
I like the way you think.
I'll bet you good money that they KNOW who did the leaking.
Any sane father taking the extreme positions he does, with 2 young daughters he'd only pray would grew up in a safe world, should be ashamed and have his competency and conscience soberly examined. What a lowlife.
Ewwwww.......sissy boy fingers!
Speaking of his "lettter from 911 families" - this is the group from which the spew no doubt comes:
The 'Offended' 911 Group Peaceful Tomorrows is funded largely by Teresa Heinz

Peaceful Tomorrows is being portrayed as an independent group of relatives of victims of the 911 attacks. They are getting a lot of press claiming to be outraged over the new Bush ads.
Call me insensitive if you like, but I wonder if this outrage could possibly be a tad overblown, and more likely attributable to the millions and millions of dollars this group has received from endowments chaired by Teresa Heinz, wife of Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry.
According to their own contribution page, Peaceful Tomorrows is a project of the Tides Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
According to an article in the Pittsburgh Review, Between 1995 and 2001, $4.3 million of that money came from the Howard Heinz Endowment. In 2002, it and the Vira Heinz Endowment blessed The Tides Center, a San Francisco spin-off of the Tides Foundation, with another $190,000 while the two endowments gave $1.6 million to the new Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania. (The Heinz Endowments have teamed up with a secretive left-wing group)
The money that flows into The Tides also flows out. They have given grants totaling $489,000 to the Iraq Peace Fund, who used that money to fund the anti-war marches and media costs of 27 groups, including MoveOn.org, whose purpose is to defeat George W. Bush.
Other Tides Center projects include The Youth Gender Project, which seeks to "empower and support transgender, gender-variant, intersexed and gender-questioning youth and young adults."
They also shoveled $200,000 towards The Ruckus Society - founded in 1995 to train activists in violent protest against biotechnology, globalization and the World Bank. It incited property destruction in the Seattle riots of 1999 and Washington, D.C., the following year.
Now, if you really want to get mad, you should also know that $8,000,000 in taxpayer money flowed into the Tides Center in the form of federal grants made by eight different agencies between 1997 and 2001.
Dingy Harry's comments needed a bump. :)
If you listened to the Rush parody on Graham and McCain you would reword two of your sentences in that post. I am still laughing so hard it is hard to type.
I think they do too. Question now becomes, what are they going to do about it?
Yeah, if and when the Democrats satiate their hunger for power, all these daily crises we're faced with will suddenly disappear.
A Pahrump in the night. :)
Yeah...I guess they have figured the "culture of corruption" is a real winner for them.
Kohl is throwing out possible scenarios...knowing Gonzalez won't answer...BUT, to make people paranoid.
WHAT??????? What's that all about??
How stupid is Kohl?
