Just Reported -- Frist and Reid broke off filibuster negotiations tonight -- Both said, "stick a fork in it, we're done" (or words to that effect).

Reid is quoted as saying that Frist wanted "all or nothing." Hmm -- sounds good to me!

Wednesday is D-Day. Better start loading up Fat Man and Little Boy! We're going thermonuclear!

Frist should be ashamed for even trying to broker a deal with the devil when the stakes are so high.

still not ACTION, fristy. just shut up and pull the trigger,

[SquirrelKing]

What about "Breakinh 2: Electric Boohaloo!"?

WORD TO YOUR MUTHA!

[CJ Wolf]

breakinh the sound barrier.

McConnell claims they may have enough Dems to get to 60 votes. Personally, I think this is insane. He obviously is hyping up the case. But, hopefully we can peel off 1 Dem at least. If we can do that, I think we will win.

EagleClaw: The real question is, why couldn't Jack Bauer be Majority Leader?

JoeSixPack1: Fictionally speaking, Bauer would take custody of the entire minority for national security reasons. Following preliminary information gathering, it would take decades to sort out the charges. :-)

So, in light of this, why couldn't Jack Bauer be Majority Leader?

LOL

So will Cheney vote no matter what? or if they have the votes will he sit it out?

---

Cheney will make the ruling if there is a 'point of order' submitted. He'll only vote if there is a 50-50 tie on the democrat appeal of his ruling. That all assumes a point of order being submitted.

[ZULU]

Thank God.

I hope they put the thumbscrews to the RINOs.

OK I'll bite...what do you know that we don't? And no, I'm not voting for Newt.

[Petronski]

Cutting that much slack would be way too accomodating for my tates.

[Dad yer funny]

no , Dusty Harry will be required to walk through Salt Lake City in that getup , up on campus he'd be OK!!

[SierraWasp]

"You oughta send that to Rush."

Yes! You should!!! That's one bichin nuclear card!!!

[JoeSixPack1]

Exactly!!

ROFL!!

[longtermmemmory]

I hope and pray the Frist will lead and finally put the demcrat (gay) party in their place.

now where is that can-o-whoopass image....

[F16Fighter]

"Frist has some gonads after all."

MEMO TO FRIST:

"Look that way and cough."

[woofie]

Also should the Dems fail in their effort to filibuster all "extreme" judges will they act like the Texas Dems and visit New Mexico and Oklahoma for a few months?

[RandallFlagg]

With your permission, I'll send it as well.

[JesseJane]

He must'a busted the lock on the lockbox.
