Are you talking about John McCain, the only North Vietnamese Ace in the US Navy? He totaled 5 US jets single-handedly!

[auboy]

Oh no, five more minutes from the bowels of hell.

[Cboldt]

a guy on fox thinks they are laying the groundwork for a bloody floor fight -- and that they just may fillibuster

Good strategy on the part of the network to keep people glued to the teevee. There is no way the DEMs will filibuster Alito - they may hem and haw and make scary faces, but that's all they fire they can muster.

[pepperhead]

I hope the rats try and filibuster, it is only going to blow up in their face.

[Dog]

Agreed.

[secret garden]

My preference is still the lightning bolt.

[joebuck]

I say give Schumer all the time he wants. His arrogance and snottyness (not letting Alito answer) has got to be a big turn off to those watching. He can't lay a hand on Alito, so keep giving him more rope.

[auboy]

Judge Alito is amazing. The total package!

[Txsleuth]

TOO BAD...CAUSE HE JUST GOT 5 MORE MINUTES!!!!

[Boston Tea Party]

If he's smart, why can he do a winning strategery?

[Dog]

5 more minutes for Schumer to make an a$$ of himself.

[cgk]

(TiVO, for exact quote, though spelling may be off):

Schumer: "...I WANT TO READ TO YOU WHAT THE MAJORITY IN SMITH V THORN HAD TO SAY ABOUT YOUR INDULGENCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT FOR FAILING TO BRING UP AN ISSUE JUST AS THE RETARDED PERSON DID WITH PAROLI .."

and

"...IN THE FIRST CASE YOU SAID TO THAT RETARDED INDIVIDUAL, 'SORRY, YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK', IN THE SECOND CASE YOU SAID TO THE GOVERNMENT 'I'LL MAKE YOUR ARGUMENT FOR YOU'..."

[Mo1]

They may not fillibuster

But they will drag it out as long as possible

[pillut48]

True! Despite the Dems' best efforts to paint his as a radical, racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-disabled persons,
demonic monster.

Let's move on to the vote. This is all a waste of time. All the questions have been answered by Judge Alito.

[Dog]

I know...Brit has been a disappointment.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

So, Schmucky just said that he needed answers so he could draw a conclusion whether he would vote for or against Alito's nomination. What a schmuk! He has no intention of voting for anyone or thing set forth bt President Bush. What a a$$hole!

ROTFLOL! (thanks!)
