Appalling, isn't it?
You are a poet! :)
If you're sick of Biden, my favorite illness is coming up: Feinstein.
She's my Senator.......Oh......tylenol time.
I am persuaded.
Sen. Kyl has a great voice.
I didn't think Biden was that bad. Better than Kennedy and Leahy at least. He stuck to talking about Alito and not bringing up President Bush for no reason.
That would be fun! They would all have kittens.
You go Kyl...He's from my state and a mighty fine rep. at that...
Indeed he does- one hopes he could use it more persuasively in discussions with his fellow Arizona senator...
Patty Murray takes the prize, with Boxer a close second.
This is so painful Loud Mime,take heart I have Specter.
The high, or is it low point, of today's hearing will be Lautenberg's introduction...
Off topic: DOW JONES HAS BROKEN 11,000.
Well, thank you very kindly. I'm just a poet who don't know it...
LOL....hopefully, some one who isn't as "computer challenged" as I am will....
BTW....stock market over 11,000-----
Isn't awful how bad the economy has been under Bush???
About the groups Alito belongs to......what was that "group" that Ruth represented? Just a harmless little think tank group? Come on, Biden, you are so full of it your plugs are turning brown!
God help me, I despise Biden and his phony, condescending, plagerizing self. :-(
You forget.....I have both Feinstein and Boxer.
I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.
