Rosenbaum retired on Dec. 31 after more than 35 years with the Times as a reporter and editor, mostly in Washington. He was pursuing freelance projects with the paper when he died.

C-Span doing what it did yesterday...presenting soundbites that help the libs. Not presenting definitive rebuttals made later by GOP Senators.

If you can't pound the facts, pound the table.

Isn't Brian Lamb's network supposed to be "balanced?"

Or at the very least, impartial from an editorial perspective?

That's why I've gone to Tony.

Oh my, that is terrible. Glad they caught the guy.

It was a waste of time....and she pushed Sessions off in doing it...and forced Coburn to forego his questioning...

"I don't think he's going to get many votes from Democrats on the committee," Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), a New York Democrat on the committee, told CBS' "The Early Show." "As for a filibuster, it's something we'll have to discuss. So it's not on the table or off the table right now."

They're back..

I thought PBS was supposed to be impartial, too, but their handling of Justice Thomas's hearings drove me out of the Democratic party. I was a Eugene McCarthy liberal from the time I was 21)

When a party needs press-distortions in order to keep on top, there's something wrong with the party.

I valued truth more than the Liberal or Democratic parties.

Are we out of witnesses for our side?

What was the picture that Kennedy was laughing at before the hearing started this morning? He passed it to the 2 female aides behind him who laughed at it too. It looked like it ended up in front of Leahy later...

[nuffsenuff]

Who is this guy?

[maggief]

I don't know but he's troubled. :)
