The Democrats don’t need a reason to impeach Pres. Bush.
They will do it because of Clinton’s impeachment.

If Pres. Bush signs this bill, many in the President’s core
will leave him to be impeached. Don’t think this will happen?

[Alas Babylon!]

And incidentally, it's getting more and more difficult to watch the Sunday shows for more than five minutes.

Har! My conclusion 9 years ago!!!!!

Hence this thread. Kept me from breaking another TV, too.

Newt points out that the idea of turning to Iran to help us when they want us defeated is nonsense.

Whatever his faults, Newt is a very intelligent man.

[Saundra Duffy]

Have the barf bags ready.

[TomGuy]

What do the Washington politicians think of us as they shaft us by pushing this amnesty monstrosity through?

• They didn’t even have enough consideration of the American citizens to give us a tax credit to for lube.

[Morgan in Denver]

Great post, snugs.

[mathluv]

Thanks, Bah. I don't get it for 45 more minutes.

Newt can do a great job - you just never know which Newt will show up for work.

[Erik Latranyi]

I cannot think of anything that would more make “President Hillary” MORE likely then this stupid Immigration bill.

Perhaps the GOP has already conceded the 2008 election internally and hopes to engender at least part of the hispanic vote for the future.

[MNJohnnie]

Next drudge siren: Iraq will be disaster because British troops (fraction of US & Coalition troops) will be withdrawn.

What all 4500 of them? Oh may what a "disaster". Anyone ever bother to think they are leaving because their job is done? That THIS is what Victory looks like?

Bad chinese food? So what! No more Customs Enforcement.

I am now hearing that by the end of the summer--and likely before--there will be no more "Customs" in ICE--Immigration and Customs Enforcement. What was once the nation's oldest and most successful law enforcement agency (U.S. Customs Service) will be absolutely kaput.

I used to tape MTP (it is on at the same time as FNS) but gave up because I would never take the time to go back and watch it. I used to watch FNS in the morning on Fox, and in the afternoon on FNC. Now, I only watch it once, if then.

[Erik Latranyi]

They didn’t even have enough consideration of the American citizens to give us a tax credit to for lube.

Today that would be considered supporting "Big Oil".

[NordP]

lol

[anita]

“W” is a great guy, just a terrible communicator.

If a lie gets repeated multiple times, it becomes CW. And then there 's The Dubya Standard.

[Bahbah]

Dodd brings up the fact that Reagan was willing to talk to the Soviets...that old canard.

Newt, if one is a careful listener, is thumping Dodd.

If Dodd was advising the French, he would consel them not to have helped George Washington...LOL.

Timmy jumps in to help Dodd out because he isn’t doing so very well. Newt’s ready for him.

[NordP]

Modern Day SMS Evolution ;-)

[Bahbah]

you just never know which Newt will show up for work.

This morning it's the brilliant one.

[NordP]

Excellent script...so close to the truth.

[snugs]

You may fight and so may some Republicans in Congress but the reality is that the dems hold the majority and it will pass maybe with slight mods but it will pass.

[Arrowhead1952]

What did KBH’s office say? I know the staff at Rep. Lamar Smith’s office said he was disappointed that this bill made it as far as it has. He is firmly AGAINST amnesty.
