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....

I was certainly wrong about the way these folks would vote. Strangely enough, it appears that Byrd is the only one on the D side who seems to understand the game of politics.

ben Nelson of NE ---No Uh-huh..

I take it this is supposed to mean something to me? I said Owens would be confirmed. She has been confirmed. If you expected many Dems to cross over, you're not paying attention.

When he gets up to rant, er, speak, he looks and sounds like an old drunk. I hope he retires! Enough is enough.

Hillary...look...you just shot yourself in the foot.

She sure did. While busily bringin' up the rear.

(With Hillie, that bodily analogy immediately came to my mind :)
