LIVE SENATE THREAD: C-Span 2 9:30am EST "The Confirmation vote for Priscilla Owen"

C-Span 2

[ken5050]

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....

[steveegg]

Are you listening to Feingold?

That's Wisconsin's Own Slimeroad, and I can't stand him.

[defconw]

Love it! Feingold is breaking my heart! NOT! I really like Cornyn!

[JustaCowgirl]

That photo brings a whole new meaning to the term 'white as a sheet,' doesn't it?

Both johns look like they just saw a ghost.

[Chuck54]

I just found him on C-span. What was he saying?

[Dad yer funny]

yup , Feingold in FULL LIAR MODE

[rwa265]

"He reminds us of the old California Senator who looked like he was more dead than alive everyday."

He reminds me of something from Madame Tussaud's.

[Grampa Dave]

"I wish his health were better and he could run for prez in '08."

The cardiologists and heart surgeons are doing incredible things with the new shunts and newer drug therapy.

We have a friend who was told he had a year or two to live 3 years ago. About 18 months ago he got a new shunt and was put in the new drug protocols. 6 months later, his cardiologist couldn't believe the Xrays and his incredible improvement. Now the doctors say that something besides his heart will end his life.

Dick Cheney looks healthier now than he did a few years ago, and he is probably on the same regimen with the new shunt.

A Senator has every right to speak about the floor tiles in a debate about the Supreme Court. Reading from the phone book has actually been done - it is not just hyperbole.

They just like to hear themselves - they don't actually have to be saying anything.

Byrd does it just to break up the tension in the room and get us all rolling around with tears running down our cheeks.

[small voice in the wilderness]

They did. The Ghost of Chairman Posts Past.

[Chuck54]

He's got the talking points down very, very well. 208-218, etc.

[steveegg]

ROFLMAO!

I wonder how many RATs will cling onto The Swimmer, hoping to use him as a floatation device?

[Milhous]

He admits he might have misplayed this - but hopes not.

Maybe he got blinded by Olds Media lights and forgot where he came from. As we all know, Graham and DeWine will swing first for McCain treachery.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for posting it on reply #153.

As you noted, something happened with their interchange with Dick Cheney. I have seen more color in dead people than these two in this picture.

[defconw]

Does anyone beleive this caller was ever a Republican?

[Dad yer funny]

SEMINAR CALLER CSPAN

[Grampa Dave]

"He reminds me of something from Madame Tussaud's."

McAinal and Warner do look like they belong in MT's wax museum.

[defconw]

Is that the same as a plant? He probably called from Feingolds office!

[Preachin']

"I wonder how many RATs will cling onto The Swimmer, hoping to use him as a flotation device?"

Since he left Mary Jo in the water, there's no evidence he can swim.

[maryz]

then Henry Saad, because of something he said about Stab-a-cow, is DOA.

Didn't someone say Saad is Arab-American?

[steveegg]

Is that the same as a plant? He probably called from Feingolds office!

Or C-SPAM's control room.
