I was thinking that guy with the nails in his head from that horror movie from a couple of years ago.

When did Specter go bald to look like The Spectre?

[maxter]

When the constitutional option is delivered, perhaps Schumer's rants on the issue, i.e. the "cooling saucer" can finally be put in the freezer.

"Could be, I agree. My point is that Hillary will do or say practicaly anything for power and influence. "

Hillary's warchest is over 200 million dollars and will not have to spend a dime of it for reelection to the Senate.

She is free to do whatever she wants.

[MamaLucci]

Note that Specter is referring to it as the "constitutional nuclear option".
Better than just "Nuclear" option, I suppose.
Arlen sure is in love with the sound of his own voice.
Now pushing for a compromise (big surprise).

[LisaFab]

Right. Betcha the Dems regret voting Reid as their leader.

Specter saying he hasn't made up his mind, wants to 'broker a compromise' that returns to the 'status quo'. This guy is still trying to give the Dems a way out. Lots of coughing on the Senate floor.

[Dad yer funny]

that's OK , yer here

[Howlin]

I think you are absolutely right.

[Soul Seeker]

Spectre says "extrodinary" and extremist" should be defined and codified in Senate rules. hah. Dems will never do that. LOL

[11th_VA]

Democrats brought up George Washington's analogy of the purpose of the Senate being like a a saucer used to "cool" hot tea just as the Senate is used to "cool" legislation.

I think the Pubbies ought to use a baseball analogy. It's top of the nineth, bases loaded and the Republicans have their power batter at bat. Now the Rats are refusing to pitch ...

[MamaLucci]

Specter has cancer.

[Miss Marple]

I wish I had a really old Melmac saucer in pink and turquoise. I would mail it to Schumer.

[Josh in PA]

I think he was diagnosed with Leukemia.. That's chemotherapy my friend.

[Soul Seeker]

Spectre is undergoing Chemo.

[Carolinamom]

I know and remember that. Is it possible that he got a phone call from Karl Rove about his speech today? LOL

[concerned about politics]

The demoncrats are terrified of Owens. She was a ....gasp!....Sunday school teacher!
Hissssssssss.
She has God on her side, and the Lucifer lefties are trying every trick in the book to destroyyyyyy herrrrr. Hissssssss.

Gotta love it. I can almost smell the stink radiating off the demoncrats right through the tv.

[maggief]

Dingy Harry at the helm ...

[Howlin]

Where did you get that 200 million number?
