Self absorbed, narcissistic, pompous ass alert!

[Laverne]

I agree Peach; we were so looking forward to a strong majority leader, but Frist has shown that he is weak kneed. Why these republicans continue to fall to the false reporting in the media is beyond me. We all know that old media is merely agenda driven, why our senators just don't get that is stunning. Frist really hurt himself on this issue by spewing his thoughts before he had any of the facts.

[Peach]

Hi, snugs. When people like Frist have a large staff who can actually do research for them, I don't understand why they don't avail themselves of that before they make public pronouncements.

[snugs]

The sum of what you saying sounds like the start of the Presidential run and trying to gain the Republican base without totally alienating the centre of the party.

[snugs]

Neither do I since I read about the port deal in the shipping press last November OK may not have connected with US ports not realising they owned the operational side of some of them.

However his minders should have been aware of this.

Good Morning to you too. I see UpChuck is due for his photo-op this morning.

IS CHUCKY GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE HORROR OF TERRORISTS GETTING A HOLD OF THE SHIP'S MANIFOLD. Chuck Schumer: Terrorists Could Alter Ship's Manifold LOL

[Peach]

Hi, Laverne. I'll try to watch how Frist handles himself this morning but have a busy day and don't know how much I can actually listen to a grown man admit he acted impulsively without the facts.

I'm afraid it is going to be a long day for us. Looks like the only people they invited are the ME TOO Republicans who can be relied upon to have ZERO backbone.

[Peach]

Honest to Pete -- I think some of these guys should handle Freepers to do their research and give them a little PR guidance. We'd do a heck of a lot better than their current staffs.

Yes Snugs, that 's my fear. Did you hear Giuliani also sounding wishy washy on Ports deal?

My only hope now - Jeb & Condi.

[Peach]

Just in case health care or the Medicare prescription plan comes up in discussion with Frist today, this is an article about how those who can afford it are turning to private health care in Canada versus the lousy nationalized health care.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Does anyone know what legislation Schumer's sponsored regarding port security?

[MNJohnnie]

Really pisses me off how utterly PR stupid Republican Congress critters are. Time for them to quit falling for the "Prove your independent of the President" DNC Talking Point. It buys them ZERO gains with their Junk Journalist ideological foes and only alienates their friends.

[Bahbah]

I think some of these guys should handle Freepers to do their research and give them a little PR guidance.

Heck, if they were smart they'd at least monitor this place. They'd know right away if something is about to blow up in their faces.

[mathluv]

But, but, but,,, don't you know that pubbies are just right-wing, and extreme right-wing, fanatics? There IS no center!

[MNJohnnie]

They sure did. Most of them need a visit to the woodshed by the POTUS

Curious, just what can a POTUS do to a Senator to "Take them to the woodshed"?

[Alas Babylon!]

Here are last week's winners, courtesy of Snugs famous graphic arts skills:

Second and Third place:

First Place!

And a special "Good Job Award" to Alan Simpson for his defending the VP against the rabid press:

[chgomac]

Good morning Alas,
C=span is interviewing governors ..... the dem gov of WY was amazing! He is pushing for clean coal technology. Not a typical pol at all! He is an engineer and told a great story about his dog. He takes his border collie everywhere with him and some repubs were questioning that.....he learned that his dog has higher pol numbers than he does so he's watching how the dog reacts with people. Doggie wags his tail when he meets someone he likes and walks away if he doesn't like them! Says he's learned a lot from his dog.

Your shows don't start for another hour here.

Very True MNJohnnie. It is a shame that they think they will be ignored by the party faithful.
