If Bolton ditched the 'stache, IMO he'd look 10 years younger and light-years better

Listening to him trying to spin justification for something he says is wrong was quite a feat

He's making himself sound like a hypocrite with that

Absolutely great radio.

Hannity certainly didn't cut him any slack. Very tough interview, almost to the point of rudeness.

What I heard was, if one of the seven dems joins a filibuster, Graham will vote to invoke the nuclear option.

That is what I heard also. What about all of the rest of the dimmies?

Hannity nailed him to the wall. Sometimes he gives them a pass, so I was relieved to hear Hannity make it clear to Lindsey it wasn;t going to fly this time.

Lindsey Graham is regretting big time that he went against Frist.

He didn't think those on the right would see this as they are. Again--this 'deal' isn't worth the paper its written on and will dissolve. In the meantime, our three best judges will sail through and we'll get the rest soon.

One very telling thing: Sean did NOT ask Graham to come to the Freedom Concert. Bet he asks Frist!

You're getting three of your nominees and you've got Lindsey Graham on Hannity basically saying "look, if the Senate votes on three right-wing judges, well, that's hardly an extraordinary circumstance now. So if the Dems play games we can still go nuclear."

Sounds to me like conservatives have a place at the table. The problem seems to be more that conservatives want to eat all the food at the table without any regard for anyone else.

Really, reading these filibuster threads, I haven't seen so much self-pity and boo-hooing since C-SPAN last aired an NAACP convention. Everyone around here needs to stop playing the persecution card. It's nauseating. Compromise is part of politics, but not extremism. And it's clear from looking around who cares more about governing and who wants to be part of an ideologically pure, 42-member minority.

Bolton really does need to lose the 'stache... but honestly, how'd you like to walk past the official photograph of Chertoff several times a day? Now, THAT's a man in desperate need of a shave.

I guess the problem, L&T, is that we don't trust what we're being told. Frankly I think we got the better end of the deal, but that's only if the other side and our RINOs behave honorably.

Remains to be seen.

These judicial nominees deserve an up or down vote

so-called moderates undermined that principal

Lindsey is following the plan pre-arranged before he did this.

Don't buy a single word out of his mouth, he thinks he can have this both ways by playing contrite.

Frist up. Damn Lindsey!!

oh, barf...

Lindsey let appearing on Judy Woofwoof's, "Inside Democrats" show go to his head apparently and he developed delusions of grandeur if he compared himself in any way, shape or form to our fine soldiers and Marines.

Geeze! What fresh hell will we be subjected to yet today?

Hock-spit!

I heard him say earlier, "One Of Seven" also, but the very last thing he said before Sean went to break was, any democrat. I'm sure that if I heard him right, he misspoke.
