No need for excuses. I commend you for playing with words.
Coburn blasting the Swimmer!
fatboy looks like he's been hitting the sauce a little.
Maybe they passed around a flask in the bathroom during the break?
He is wonderful.Putting down Teddy now:)
Well thanks for clearing that up. Based on your earlier posts I had no idea what you were talking about and not able to watch the hearings.
The response to the idea of a Super Duper precedent should not be tied to abortion at all and should be agnostic towards a specific issue. It is simply the fact that any decision can be overturned - period - if the SC wants to. No decision is sacred as was shown with slavery.
Know any cute gay guys that might go for Jon? :)

One last item: after all their heavily biased news coverage, CNN radio then has the nerve to end their coverage by saying "CNN, the most trusted name in news." Now that really takes some nerve to end your news segment with a bald-faced lie like that. CNN is heavily distrusted by about half the country...what a joke they are and they think they are serious journalists.
Will do. If you have, or anyone has, a dvd copy of these hearings, please let me know.
Well, Sen. Coburn just made me cry. He's awesome.
Love Senator Coburn!
Sessions, Cornyn, Rogers Brown...come on Ginsberg, Stevens...time to retire!
They do. They just transfer it to conservatives or Republicans, whichever comes first.
Whitman and Loutenberg. A corpse and a RINO...great.
Yes...when I heard that Corzine had chosen Menendez to replace him....I just figured it showed his CONTEMPT for the Senate.
Maybe they think that if they say it enough it will make it true.
Oh now I am sick :p
why is the Laut speaking?
But, Senator, Don't you know that the great SUPER DUPER POOPER SCOOPER has gauranteed the right to "SUPER DUPER KILL" my baby? And we all know when the SUPER DUPER POOPER SCHOOPER speaks that it carries the same weight as a constitutional ammendment right? /Sarcasm>
Everything he said was just awesome. Unbelievable. You could just hear the passion in his voice. Whew. God bless him!
