FReepers be prepared for surprises today.

Seems like the Republican Caucus could punish him for that one. Take away his seat in the cloakroom, reassign his office space, do something ugly to him,
At one time, Scummee wrote a letter to the Prez saying "look, we think you should consult with us first". It was signed by several DEM senators.
Thanks, more importantly we should all e-mail Frist right now and express our support!
Nobody ran against him in the primary election. I did not vote for him either in the primary or the general. I absolutely loathe him. My one consolation I have is that stunning defeat that I handed him a number of years ago. I still savor that victory and I hope it still stings him.
May I jump in an ask if there has been anything from the Senate floor this morning that I've missed? (NOT the so called "deal" of course, already know about that mess!)
I'm internet deprived, any update will be greatly appreciated. Are there any glimmers of hope from Frist? Cheney? Anybody?
Many thanks in advance.
That does roll right off the tongue. I hope Bush uses it when he sends the next batch of nominations to the Senate.
BIG TENT!
Well .. I'm thinking Arlen won't like that one bit
Sure sounds like they took his Committee Chairmanship away from Specter
In their dreams. The chummy agreement will fade pretty quickly, I think.
None that I can name. RI is one of the most solidly democrat infestations in the nation.
Lincoln Chaffee won on his father's name. Remember Senator John Chaffee?
Chaffee is about as GOP as his voters permit. Same goes for the two women representing Maine: Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe.
I always TRY to view those three in the manner President Reagan opined... something like, "always prefer somebody who votes with me 70%, 80% of the time, over somebody who votes with me NONE of the time."

True. Never will, either. He is like a God in this state.
The 14's statement also included that bit about the President needing to consult them about his nominees. Trying to do the executive's job is NOT their job. See Byrdbrain's little book.
