C-Span 2

Good morning all. Senate convenes at 9:30 am this morning, to vote on the nomination of Priscilla Owen. I've started the thread early, as I have to leave for a few hours, but also to give us a place to start commenting early on the events of yesterday....

LOL! Occasionally when I'd come home from work hubby would be stomping around mad about something he saw on CSPAN (he usually gets home very early afternoon). I'd say, You can't be watching CSPAN, it raises your blood pressure!

But I think it's a good thing now and then, lest we think a majority of these people deserve our respect. Most do not.

I have no idea where he is coming from and I should hate him, but oddly I do not! He's scared!

Voinovich knows he has lost his Senate seat in Ohio and is going out with a blaze of glory.....for himself.

Yes, he said "John Hamilton" and was later corrected by one of his aides.

And his speech is totally read. Wonder which dim wrote it for him.

Reading

Some dim wrote him an hour speech? Amazing.

I heard you Rob. I agree with your take. His counter point was well taken though--Why let them dig themselves out?

FWIW, I agree largely with what you said on his show. I think that Graham, Warner, DeWine wanted to give the donks one last chance.

Now, what I want to happen next is for Frist to push the donks hand, and bring to the floor those judges not covered in the deal. I suspect that is what Frist is going to do.

This guy digs a bigger hole for himself every time he talks on Bolton

Isn't that the truth. His reaction to people who badmouth the US is quite different from what mine would be. What other countries does George think are going to jump in and spend blood and money to help us because of who we have at the UN? Wasn't Bowel diplomatic enough for him. Is he insulting our Secretary of State.

Voinabitch is divulging way more about himself than just his position on Bolton.

The jerk is methodically spouting liberal Dem talking points, particularly how our allies hate us.....and how we NEED their good will to exist.

Keep talking, mushhead. I hope your future conservative primary opponent is taking notes.

Not a dumb question. I've been wondering the same thing but wasn't brave enough to ask. Thanks for asking. And thanks, Cboldt and bullish, for answering.

Here is the message Voinovitch is sending: If you speak rudely at me to cocktail parties in Europe, I will run away whining and groveling. BAH!

OHIOANS! VOTE THIS GUY OUT!

I still say he is getting pro-Castro money, and probably that pro-Castro gal on Dodd's staff wrote his speech.

He may save himself in Ohio though! He may be trying to re-win his seat. Ohio is only marginally Red!

It's pretty obvious where he's coming from.

Plus, I LOVE when the wussie, treacherous senators I despise are "scared".
