C-span 2 ^ | May 18, 2005

[ken5050]

Welcome, all you Freepers, to the continuing C-span soap operas about judicial nominations. "The Guiding SEARCHLIGHT, " "As the SENATE Turns, "One NOMINATION to Live" "GERIATRIC Hospital" (for all you Byrd and Lautenberg fans out there). Follow along with us, as the Dems raise the level of histrionics, bloviation, pontification, and all around bad acting to new highs, er, lows...

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.

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?
