SPEAKING as a VET !!! Mr. Byrd sit down and SHUT UP !!

[small voice in the wilderness]

Someone needs to get byrd outta there. He's got his Depends on, he doesn't care HOW long the debates go on. Hell, he doesn't even need to go to the bathroom.

[Unknown Freeper]

The other thread was started first.

[ILBBACH]

He fought for the Confederacy.

Doin' just fine. Life is good - I'm still giddy with joy over the fact that we kicked our so-called governor, Doofus
Davis, to the curb! We did it - we dumped Davis!

[deport]

are they really going to go for 30 hours?

---

Tough duty isn't it.... each Senator has to cover a 30 minute period during this duration..... Then they can sleep, call home, do office work, or whatever..... Yep really earning their money we the tax payers are sending their way....

But at least they aren't passing taxes or some other piece of legislation.... those hard workers.

[davidosborne]

it is time to talk about JUDGES... save your VET speach for the appropriate time...... There is a UC request pending and if you want to object go ahead and object but don't get off the topic

I'm watching Rather for the first time in years and the thought just occured to me that the nightly news is pointless.

With the internet and 24 hour news channels, only morons wait until 6:30 at night to watch liberal propaganda "news"

[Mo1]

I have no clue about the sign ..LOL

Now Bobby is talking about an award from FDR??

[At _War_With_Liberals]

It's all about him.

[Semper911]

started at 8AM this morning. Where were you?

At 8 AM, I had already been at work for an hour and 15 minutes.

[onyx]

You can NEVER give that old duck the floor. When we will ever learn? Don't answer.

[Petronski]

F the FDR award.

[CyberCowboy777]

My Lettor to the editor (I had to cut it down to less than 200 words or it will be cut for me:

Just in case anyone thought the Democrats have always supported the idea of holding up judicial nominees that one may deem "extreme" or "not qualified", I present the record. Seems their hypocrisy knows no end.

* Joseph Biden (D-DE) "everyone who is nominated is entitled to have a … vote on the floor."

* Carl Levin (D-MI) "If a bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate is prepared to vote to confirm the President's appointment, that vote should occur."

* Edward Kennedy (D-MA) "If our … colleagues don't like them, vote against them. But give them a vote."

* Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) "Let's bring their nominations up, debate them if necessary, and vote them up or down."

* Tom Daschle (D-SD) "I find it simply baffling that a Senator would vote against even voting on a judicial nomination."

* Patrick Leahy (D-VT) "I have stated over and over again … that I would object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I opposed or supported."

* Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) The filibuster "has unfortunately become a commonplace tactic to thwart the will of the majority."

[Rome2000]

Rather about to tell us "whats really going on"

I hope you're not trying to eat while you're watching Blather.

Senator Birdy is the Dems designated bore for the evening.

His specialty is to get everyone so numb that they'll flip the channel to watch Trading Places.

That way, the 'Rats figure the coherent Pubbie speakers won't have an audience.

Don't worry, when all the formaldehyde leaks out, Sen. Byrd will collapse and be carted off to his trundle bed for the duration.
