That was so melodramatic I choked on my coffee! Durbin is clearly trying to kill me. :)
Mr. Durbin should be referred to as "Little Dick".
Vice President Cheney should be referred to as "Big Dick".
Just how much would any of us want to be "Big Dick" this morning when he pounds the gavel, calls for the vote, and then announces Alito's confirmation. I hope he looks right at Leaky Leahy when he does that!
I'm cubie bound! argh! I am going to my boss's office for the swearing-in, though. He's got a tube in there.
