Day 4 Ping.
Sen Tom Coburn will be on C-span-1's Washington Journal call-in show from 8:40-9:00 am today...
placemarker for later
I have been up since 4 am waiting for this ping(not really I have the day off and couldn't sleep)
1. Resolution of this CAP crap, and yesterday's spat between Arlen and the Swimmer
2. Given all the media attention paid to Mrs. Alito's tears last night, look for all the GOP senators to take a much more agressive stance to the Dems...This has been the defining moment of the hearings so far....Sen Graham was wondeful last night, apologizing to the Judge and his family...but that was before everyone saw how big a play it got overnight and this morning...so there will be much more said by theGOP senators
3.
Possible BIG dust-up
Feingold asked for a list of all who advised/coached Alito during the prep for the hearings...There was mention in the media that Lindsay Graham helped him...some on the left wailed..the NY TIMES said it was inapporporaite in the he would then be voting on him, after helping him...If Feingold decides to make an issue of it..look for Lindsay to take the gloves off...could get ugly..
Are the Dems still gonna be puzzled today??
No money involved at all, just bragging rights!
We need to set some betting items or topics and then bid!
If anyone is interested, just continue as the thread goes. Here are two subjects for today for starters:
1. Length of time Biden will talk without allowing Alito a response (my bet wil be 17 min.)
2. Number of times Kennedy will say "so let's move on", after attacking Bush or Alito (my guess is 7 for today)
3. Number of times "CAP" is mentioned (my bet is 77)
4. Number of times Alito is implied as being racist (my bet is 5)
10 minutes into the 4th day and I am ready to jump into the TV and beat the crap out of Leahy!
Thanks for the ping
