It just breaks my heart! LOL

[bayareablues]

I always have used expletives to describe Hillary Clinton's behavior.

When Rudy runs against Chuckster in 2004, New York will have a new GOP Senator.

When Pataki runs against Hitlery in 2006, they'll have 2 GOP Senators.

In both cases, the Republicans will retain control of the Senate, so NY will be well represented after 2004.

...Schumer and Clinton will move up 10 rungs on the seniority ladder...

This whole seniority thing assumes that the voters will keep sending them back election after election. Senators have six year terms, so that's a long time between elections. I wonder, if the state legislature of New York got to choose the senators, who would they send?

Will Hillary also lose her ultra-large Senate office?

[G.Mason]

"But, said Sen. Jim Jeffords (I-Vt.) - whose jump from the GOP put Democrats in power last year - Schumer and Clinton are "both superb" at building bipartisan relationships."

Excuse me?

Mr. Jeffords we are not all from Vermont.

Some Americans can still read, write, and understand the meaning of words.

Schumer and Clinton insisted the pain of the power shift will be softened by quirky Senate rules that give every senator key powers - and that the GOP's narrow majority will keep them relevant.

"Look, the bottom line is you'd rather not" relinquish power, Schumer conceded. "But fortunately, [in] the Senate, energy [and] hard work mean more than being in the majority."


NEW SPIN. I guess they feel their pain. I sure DON'T

[punster]

Feel any sympathy for Hitlery? Feel any sympathy for Chuckie Schumerde, aka Senator Putz?

They're both irrelevant, and deserve to be ridiculed at every opportunity!!!!

[Randjuke]

[in] the Senate, energy [and] hard work mean more than being in the majority."
"I'm going to have to work hard to get some moderation on judges."
Both say they've worked hard to bond with GOP colleagues

Can't these two come up with some new cliches?

[JZoback]

And there's a chance that Clinton, the state's junior senator, could be booted from a committee to make way for a Republican.

That would be sweet!!!

Oh, but for Trent Lott, I'm sure he will capitulate to her demands

[Libloather]

Great news...

[nypokerface]

Don't despair my fellow New Yorkers, we'll have Rudy and Pataki representing us within 4 years.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Oh, but for Trent Lott, I'm sure he will capitulate to her demands

Lott has nothing to do with it. The Leadership decides how many Republicans and how many Dins will be on each Committee and sub-committee. Each party then fills their assigned slots.

getting an endorsement from benedict jeffords is tanamout to have your throat cut with a razor

Hellary should resign and go away. What ever happened to the people she ran over with her car at Westchester Airport? Can't anybody sue this b*tch?
