If it makes you feel any better, I'm still paying off my laptop. I bought it after my first computer crashed.

[Carolinamom]

The dems ARE "troubled" because Alito has buffaloed them.

[woofie]

are we not watching the making of sausage?

[Just A Nobody]

Yes...that's why I'm watching her closely.

[Inspectorette]

Our President looks great!!!! Handsome, confident, thoroughly enjoying himself. And you know he's keeping close tabs on the Alito hearings, and loving seeing the Dems making fools of themselves.

[polymuser]

After listening to Kennedy, I usually need to go to confession...

I usually feel strong confirmation that being a conservative Republican is absolutely right!

[conservativebabe]

Kennedy just wanted to use the word "subpoena" to make things sound very serious. He's a joke.

[M-cubed]

LMAO!!!!!!!...PERFECT!!!..Can U make that picture into a large printable version???.....I'm thinking for a caption...

KENNEDY COMES TO HEARINGS PREPARED TO LECTURE ALITO ON ETHICS!!!!

CNN has the videolink to the Kennedy-Specter fight on it's home page

[ilovew]

I bet that's why the speech is now, so he wasn't competing with the hearings.

Rusher( who was the publisher of National Review) was the founder of the group..CAP..FYI..just posted on NRO that Rusher has already given all of the papers to the NY TIMES some weeks ago..ergo..big deal about nada..

[AliVeritas]

The king of privacy want to invade the privacy of Rusher's papers. But then again it's the LOC and that would be like Teddy giving a subpeona to himself?

Sorry for my typos

[Christian4Bush]

Someone posted yesterday that they noticed that, when one becomes a Senator, he/she begins talking with multiple 'uhs' and 'ums'.

It's "filler speech", and it is annoying. Laura Ingraham irritates me tremendously when she does it, which is too bad because she is otherwise excellent, and passionate for what she believes.

In all fairness, I think that - at least with me - the mind moves faster than the mouth, and especially in an arena where the spoken word is crucial, the tendency is to want to "fill" the air with some sound, rather than none, hence the "uh" or the "ah".

[VRWCmember]

How about Specter responding,
"Senator Kennedy, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

No, it's "Senator, we'll drive off that bridge when we come to it."

[ohioWfan]

Aargh! My cable's out!

Hope they have video on the Whitehouse website tonight.....

The king of privacy want to invade the privacy of Rusher's papers

Yep

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Kennedy claims he asked for the records in that later and was denied"

I'm a bit puzzled by this. It looks to me like the Rusher papers are available at the Library of Congress for anyone to research. Why is this subpoena necessary? Just a stall and delaying tactic, and a way for the dems to claim that the pubbies are hiding something?

[ken5050]

Don't forget...we're also gonna get Coburn v. Durbin after lunch as the undercard..

[rwa265]

I've watched sausage being made. It ain't anywhere near as ugly as this.
