C-span

[ken5050]

Good Monday morning, fellow Freeper political junkies. One of the more ridiculous episodes of political theater is about to play itself out on the Senate floor, as the John Kerry-led democrats mount an exercise in political futility which will further expose their total irrelevance..So join us today, or drop in on occasion, for the festivities...

[Cboldt]

If you can stand it..Lautenberg and Menendez are holding a joint presser at noon to announce their votes..

What time zone? ;-)

[Mo1]

Kerry sees patterns

[ken5050]

For a mere $7 apiece, you can get real live butterflies in cunning little boxes, one for each guest, for them to set free after the reading of a particularly sappy poem.

and when it's all over, you and your guests find pieces of butterfly wings and antennae on the pavement... isn't that romantic? the ads never mention that part... ick...

He's looking a little orange-y today, don't you think?

[Mo1]

[small voice in the wilderness]

For some reason, Alan Alda never affected me like Farrell. I'm not sure why. Maybe because Alda was actually FUNNY. And Farrell always struck me as a smarta$$ with a script.

[newnhdad]

did he just say that there hasn't been enough debate?

[A Citizen Reporter]

Kerry: To this moment not more than 25 Dem Senators have had a chance to speak.

LIE. There was much "empty time" when notta Rat Senator took to the podium last week.

Guess they were all in Davos, eh Johnny?

RI has a Republican governor, it's not such a wild idea.

Chaffee has sat on his assets and there he is. The trouble is, he thinks that he can continue to do so.

Creepy Liar
Time to go O'Donnell on Kerry

[E.C.I.]

Guess you shouldn't have flown off for skiing then.
NO credibility, idiot.
