OTHER LIVE LINKS
Coburn sure has got Kennedy's number.
Honest Injun. You want the highest pumped volume you go attended. And then figure about 100 seconds per tankful per attendant. Mabe 120, to give the boys a rest.
Senator Colburn's impassioned comments about the destruction of LIFE and the abortion = convenience factor reflects my own views exactly.
I don't think so... not cute ones anyway! lol
Thanks for the link, Cboldt. There was one paper, during the Roberts hearings, that had the transcripts posted promptly the morning after each day's hearings. I'll check your link, plus I'll do a Yahoo/Google search.
Thanks again!
Well cheating on his wife did not finish him off, so maybe a goat or something?
Lautenberg ... LOL funny. Go with the moment, Frank -- go with the moment. He and Senator Byrd might make a good couple in a square dance.
He is my new star.It is nice to hear the truth.
Precisely, CNN is using a cheap brainwashing trick. Keep telling the big lie and the more gullible half of the population will eventually believe it.
Wow..I was listening to Coburn spellbound...He and Brownback have in fact inveited, nay, begged, the Dems to make abortion the issue..I thinkt he sentiment in the country at large has turned in our favor
If I understand what Brit said, the only danger here is that Alito will somehow get into deep water through his own inability (he is not suggesting that he will). I don't think that will happen with Alito. He has been doing such superb job as a Federal Judge that even those way over on the other side of the political spectrum speak highly of him.
Yep the rats just don't get it.
Senator Jeff Sessions may look like a little mouse, but man oh man, he makes me proud to live next door in Georgia. He's fearless!
He and Christie Todd Whitman are introducing the nominee. It's a traditional arrangement for hearings, to have introductions by home state "luminaries."
Obviously, the qualifications for "lunimary" are, um, well, it's all in their own heads anyway. Lautenberg and Christie Todd Whitman have the honor of introducing the nominee.
No, No, No! CNN is the MOST BUSTED name in news.
Sort of a "shot across the bow," as Schumer might put it.
That would be great to hear
Well, he'll be facing some other Dems in < 10 months before going abgainst Kean...some publications think it's our best chance for a pick up...if that's true, we're not in such great shape :-(
Does that have something to do with the Immaculate Conception? < g >
