That was from an Indian TV site; I think they may be talking about CNN International.

did you get a chance to watch Hairball yet???

It runs here at 6pm, which is why I am always alert for your "early warnings" on what might be of interest. I'll give it a look. I heard the President was excellent during the conference, so Hissy's spin will be interesting.

The biggest excitement was when Byrd announced his support for Alito. I realize that Byrd and excitement aren't synonymous, but the excitement came when the DUmmies threw a tantrum over it. Byrd's announcement also drove a stake through the heart of the already dead Alito opposition.

We have 41 votes for a filibuster right now. If one of those 10 Democrats jumps the fence to vote for cloture, we cannot sustain a filibuster. Of the four who have said they will support Alito, Landrieu and Johnson are the ones that really need to hear from us.

----------YOU have 41 votes...
----------If one of ten jumps, YOU cannot sustain a filibuster.
----------really need to hear from YOU.

/pronoun clarification

And as to your earlier post, YOUR candidate didn't win, so F-Face Flipper doesn't get to pick any Supreme Court Justices. And he'll be just as unfit for command as he was two years ago, if he runs again in 2008.

Bush was pretty combative with the press during the presser today...so I am sure Gregory will have a real "fair and balanced" report!!

He [Byrd] IS going to vote yes for sure?

No doubt about it. He is firmly in the AYE column.
