"Whoare the members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee? "

Never mind. Found it. ROFL... Kerry is on the committee. Wonder if he will ask Condi what her net worth is.

We have quite a few RINOs serving, I see. Wonder if Kerry will show up? He's been so busy trashing the US that he may be too tired.

[thelastvirgil]

Let the preening and the self-serving speeches disguised as questions begin.

There is nothing in the universe that possesses less value than a United States Senator in front of a TV camera.

bump for 9am

Condi will eat them for breakfast. I hope she has that "I could kick every single one of your white asses" look on her face when she sits down.

[Quilla]

I'm checking in - popcorn in hand.

It will be interesting to see what Chaffee says.

He'll probably pull a Bob Kerrey and do a 5 minute attack.

[MEG33]

Might need to turn on the A/C..There will be a lot of hot air coming our way today.

[prairiebreeze]

LOL! This'll be rich, Kerry, Biden, Boxer and Osama Obama!! The Pubs have a few RINOs on that committee. I was very unimpressed with Lamar Alexander last week. He gave a tv interview on Fox and not recognizing the name I at first was convinced he was a RAT. Isn't that specccccial?

Popcorn's ready here.

Barack Obama, Illinois

I am curious.... It is my understanding that it takes a bit of seniority to gain a chair on these committees.....right?

[Quilla]

Peach, I'm betting Kerry will be there. I wouldn't be surprised if he asks Dr. Rice why, in Ohio, some dems had to wait in line 11 hours while the Republicans were whisked through the voting process. Then he'll go on as to why we are pushing for a vote in Iraq when we can't even stop disenfranchisement of voters here in our own country. Hopefully Dr. Rice has a flip flop in her purse she can whip out at an opportune moment. ;-)

oops, sorry I got distracted by work......
