Looks like Pelosi-Palooza still continues. Fox reported that Major EmbarrassmentGarret got exclusive access to report the proceedings. So, he decided to avoid reporting some "interesting" moments that even liberal Dana Milbank couldn't avoid: Some of those escaped while Garret was cheerleading for the dems.

Worth reading in full.

Some bits about Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, Clinton (Bill) & ofcourse, Harry Reid. Did you know that when Reid spoke, there was no quorum (# of members present)? During Reid's speech, only 20 senators remained on the floor. When Reid started talking about the framers of the Constitution, Clinton left the room-- and most of the remaining spectators followed him. When he yielded the floor after 30 minutes, only three senators remained, and the half-dozen spectators lingering in the public gallery included Reid's wife.

The esteemed (in their own minds) senators have not listened to each other in committee hearings for years, so now they didn't even have the courtesy to remain in the Chamber for the opening session! I wonder how (badly) they will act during the SOTU speech.

I don't want to hear ONE word from sanctimonious Byrd about "separation of church and state" after that holy-roller shouting on the Senate floor.

Did not know you need a quorum to speak or is that just to vote? We often only have about half a dozen member in either of are chambers unless there is an important debate or vote especially late evening.

All I can say is, "Hillary has a mom?"

Who knew?

Amusing article. I like the part where kennedy lifted his hands to motion drinking from a bottle. And byrd's exclamations! What a hoot. No surprise that clinton was looking for the bathroom sink either! LOL
