Debate continues in the Senate today on the nomination of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. At present no time has been announced for a final vote. Stop by and discuss.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Well yes, and I agree with you on Lieberman. But McCain having an 83 ACU rating in itself doesn't present the whole picture. Judas had a 99 out of 100 Jesus rating...

LOL
Understand.
Rush on the radio and cspan on the net.

Finally turned down Rush and am locked in to the fun and games in the Senate.


Tough choice but sometimes you just gotta make choices.

[JerseyDvl]

Wow, that is unexpected. There is no way Sheets will vote yes though.

[ARCADIA]

I like Joe, he's still a friend on other issues.

There is little need for Joe to fall on the sword on this one. The Alito nomination can make it through without him.

[E.C.I.]

And some on writing on the COMP..U...TER... while they listen on the Wireless... I mean... IN..TREEEE..NET.

[newnhdad]

now he's hitting the media. He hates the way the telegraph was used to smear Alito? Was is a good idea to subject his wife to the lights?

[pillut48]

He's defending Mrs. Alito!!

DUer's and DCer's starting to freak out...

[goodolemr]

Here it is! It's Bush's fault Mrs. Alito cried!

[A Citizen Reporter]

"PRETTY, PRETTY, PRETTY"

Byrd has the audacity to object to made-for-TV antics?

The very master himself......

[Chuck54]

He's describing the type of paper used in the letters he received from constituents....lined, and sometimes they used personal stationary.lol

.......and crayons.

[Txsleuth]

If you are watching his hands...you must be dizzy as heck.

[angkor]

No one is more suited to pointless and longwinded bloviation than Kerry.

[jennyjenny]

Here it is! It's Bush's fault Mrs. Alito cried!

Yep, Bush should have taken the camera off her.

[Mo1]

Did Bryd just call Mrs. Alito's crying .. a simple minded sound bite ???

[mware]

He prides himself on being a Southren Gentleman. I think he would be upset that their conduct caused a woman to cry, even a conservative woman.

[pillut48]

No, he's referring to "Mr. President", who is overseeing these hearings, not Bush. Gotta give him that. He's giving the Senate a tongue lashing. A slow one, but still. :-)

[Mayflower Sister]

No, he's builing up to the "it is after much soul searching, I must vote no." It gives him more credibility.

It's the Laura Ingraham's "BUT MONKEY".

I would be totally shocked if he voted yes.

[JerseyDvl]

Damn peer pressure!! jk...lol
I had to turn down Rush and put on Byrd.
