Agreed.

The dems need to look at a map. They don't even represent the majority of counties in most of their states. I resent them trying to toss me into the number they claim to represent. They could care less if eastern washington sank into the abyss other than we help keep their liberal policies afloat with our taxes.

And the moral of Baucus's history lesson is-Republicans lead; Democrats follow (or wallow, as in self-pity.)

Didn't Baucus get the memo about the "separation of church and state?"

It's a good thing he's not in a public school!!! Reading from the bible at a government function??????

Hey! Max Raucus! My turn to be embarrassed that we elected such a "man" to the senate!

when I look back to see that ruth bader ginsburg was approved 96-3, I don't worry that a future republican minority is going to lose the ability to fillibuster judges - they wouldn't use it anyway.

Or to be married to any one of them. Can't believe that there are women desperate enough to marry one and look at him across the breakfast table for years until the next desperate woman comes along and rescues her.

...Are these the same papers Boxer told what to write on the issue of the filibuster?...

Are you serious? I hadn't heard that one.

The Excuse is my hometown paper. They just print whatever the NY Times, AP, etc. print for the most part.
It's laughable.

Can't speak for the other two. Not sure who writes most of their stuff. Whoever it is they are no friend to conservatives like Tom DeLay.

In all my Senate/House watching years, I don't think I've ever heard anyone as neutrally boring as Baucus.

Teddy is gone and when I listen to this Baucus guy all I hear is "Blah Blah Blah Blah". Oh, thank goodness he has yielded the floor. YAWN!

WTF is Baucus talking about???

Fancy way of saying what goes around comes around.
But like has been pointed out often, we know they would spin on a dime and change the rules themselves. In fact, I'll bet they privately laugh at how long it has taken for the Rep to figure out how to use their power.

Rush mentioned it during his show. She gave a speech to over a 100? editors dictating how to address this story. that they were not properly explaining this to the public and outlined what they should highlight.
