[AliVeritas]

FReepers be prepared for surprises today.

[Kryptonite]

new member just signed up today, to say all that eh?

[Txsleuth]

He said that he the rest of the "good guys" are still going to work for the right for up or down votes....just like they should get...but as far as any specifics, NO, he sounded just disgusted...

[rwa265]

The Gilda Radner character Cornyn referenced - was that Emily Letella?

[Chuck54]

My thoughts exactly......

[YaYa123]

"there should be laws against women over 300 pounds wearing bright red... "

especially with orange hair!

[OXENinFLA]

Did the Repubs that signed "the deal" silently agree to vote against the judges?

[Cboldt]

Then let's giterdone. Enough of this Senate pe*erpull contest.

Funny how so many folks think the spanker controls the timing of the spanking

[defconw]

Cornyn going on record that he is not a party to this deal also
Campaign sond bites? I mean WE KNOW who to BLAME! Cornyn is not on that list of 7

[LisaFab]

Right. And don't forget, they say that Cheney's on the Hill today.

[NonValueAdded]

well said

[AliVeritas]

Cornyn just said "these fourteen". They have to think about the two votes mentioned for Owens by Graham and DeWine, and that the constitutional option is still open.
I wish they had a cam on the expressions of the senators there.

[steveegg]

CNN just carried a clip of President Bush saying that there was "some progress" on the judges. He's already moved on to other issues.

[NeoCaveman]

However, at the time He also had a somewhat principled opposition, and thats the Point.

That's my point. You can have gentleman's agreements when the other side is honorable. Since the other side has no honor, one should use brass knuckle tactics.

[hispanarepublicana]

Emily Litella: Never Mind

[Miss Marple]

Don't you mean spankee? The spanker is the one inflicting punishment.

[TheBigB]

I'll make ya a $10 FReep donation bet that all three get confirmed.

[Eagle of Liberty]

IMO, Frist did not go "Nuclear" earlier because the Dems threatened to shut down the Senate and W wanted Bolton out-of-committee before that happened.

[Jim Verdolini]

My wife and I both, loudly and rudely, resigned from the Portland Maine republican city committee and the Cumberland County republican committees last night.

We can no longer support any organization that supports these media whores in any way.

[AliVeritas]

You caught that too.

[Cboldt]

Graham said he and DeWine would have voted to uphold the point of order propsed by Frist. Therefore, the point of order is not a rule change, as defined in the agreement.

The agreement is a political agreement, not a legal agreement.
