LOLOL!

I rather think he'll surprise us and actually show up for work for the first time in a while too. Camera time, you know. Probably had his facial last night in preparation.

[misharu]

Does anyone know where it can be heard on the net?

[Quilla]

Elevation to star status trumps seniority in democrat circles. They have so few stars these days.

[prairiebreeze]

LOL! When she pulls that flip-flop out I'd love to see her smack those Dimbulbs up-side their fool heads.

[OXENinFLA]

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

I think we all said that same thing when Hillary got on the Senate Armed Services Committee

[PilloryHillary]

Thanks for the C-Span info.

Didn't Lamar Alexander run for higher office a few years ago? What a committee...is this the best we can do?

[OXENinFLA]

committee membership - Senators are assigned to specific committees by their party conference. Seniority, regional balance, and political philosophy are the most prominent factors in the committee assignment process.

We can only hope that Coleman, Sununu, and Martinez comport themselves well. As for the others, it looks like a who's who of charlatan losers and peacocks.
Do we dare watch Biden and Dodd? Forget the popcorn, I'm going for a preemptive strike with a good anti-nausea elixir.

[anniegetyourgun]

Or if he'll even show up for work today.

[anniegetyourgun]

Must be Obama's extensive background in foreign relations. Cough....choke....

LOL.

Off topic: Bishop freed in Iraqi kidnapping incident.

[anniegetyourgun]

Or perhaps they just didn't want to be accused of holding a high-tech lynching...using Obama as their token and shield.

[section9]

Well, sorry folks, I have to work today. Beginning at 9 am, don't you know. However, please keep abreast of the ass-kicking. When Boxer comes in to smack her, Condi will smack back, and hard.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Well, he did study the Qu'ran. Yes, shocking that didn't become an issue during the debates.

[prairiebreeze]

What a committee...is this the best we can do?

Just makes a person feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? On another topic, what about Howie Dean possibly getting the DNC chair! And Bill Kristol says Bill&Hill want Weasley Clark to jump in the running.

I have to go get the car serviced before our trip next week. Will check back in.

[misharu]

Thank ya, I thought that was only for video!

[EQAndyBuzz]

Wonder if the RATS are going to fight this as a prelude to the hearings that will take place for Judgeships.

Obstruct early as a preemptive strike.

[Peach]

Your graphic shows what I'm doing right now. FNC reporting that attendance at Clinton's library is much lower than Reagan and Bush's libraries when they opened. Hah!
