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

I like the "stache". If my husband ever shaved his off, I would divorce him! ;-)

"ONLY the 7 Dwarfs signed that agreement ..
Frist and the other 48 Senators did not take part in that agreement
The Constitutional Option IS still on the table"

Ah! I see. So only 7 are "bound" to the agreement they signed. I'm glad to hear Frist is still willing to use the Constitutional Option when the RATS fail to bring the Judges up to a full vote. That makes the betrayal go down a little easier (very little).

Thanks for the clarification, all.

He was down on Pubs across the board at the beginning. Basically said that the Pub party was out of control because the 7 could not be reined in. Was calmer after Snerdly got in touch with Frist.

I agree with a few others here. This 'deal' is a paper tiger.

"Senators are milling around on C-Span. Are they going to vote soon, or maybe tomorrow?"

Gee, I'm glad I did some house cleaning instead of waiting and waiting and waiting for the pubs to vote on SOMETHING, ANYTHING, just vote dang it!! I thought by now they would have voted already. Doing dish and laundry is a good relaxer when your blood pressure goes up! :)

It's starting all over again and people like DeWine have just put themselves a few months closer to their elective campaigns. They think this will go away? Everytime they shoot us down this is going to beat stronger. It will become the SOLE issue during the next campaign and attempts to bury it will fail.

"...14 Senators think they can run the entire government, steal the right of the president to nominate judges for their own, and flip a finger to their constituents without paying the price. They are delusional, and no one more so than the King of the Mavericks for believing he'll EVER reside at Penn Ave..."

Bravo! Applause!

Ella, Frist has GOT to get back in control of this situation. I fear he's come very close to being badly damaged by all this.

I don't believe the slow deliberate pace we've seen from Frist will serve him at this junction. He needs to be ready to take off the gloves and put on the brass knuckles at the first indication of ANY back-tracking on the part of the Fickle Fourteen.

IMO..

Global warming is just another tool the left uses to try and run all of our lives. Too many people believe in this fake science junk and think that it is real. Then the Rinos feel they have to always vote on the side of the environment, whether it is true or false, no matter what the cost is to the nation and its economy.

It looks like Frist is trying to get his point across. New headline at msnbc.com:

"Frist issues new warning on filibusters
Senate majority leader says he will seek rule change
if Democrats continue blocking judicial nominees"

Yep .. that's why I have not completely written off the Republican Party

But I am still keeping an eye open on what they do

As for the 7 dwarfs .. it may take time .. but IMO, they are toast

One time I watched a show on Discovery Channel about the moon.It said that every year, the Earth moves away from the moon (a result of normal rotation & gravity).

It also said the moon was the "controller" of our weather. IMHO, these "global warming" folks are just plain nuts! It's not Bush's fault, It's the moon!

Bork is on Hannity now

Thinks the 7 dwarfs threw the President and the rest of the Party over board

Bork says he doesn't think they got anything with this deal
