CSPAN, et al. | July 24, 2002

[Howlin]

Recovering_Democrat suggested a live thread for the "song and dance" about to take place up on the Hill, so here it is!

If you see/hear it, post it.

Jim congradulates you

I think Steve Latourette voted Present I had the same thought and the second could either be Hastert or Burton.

[mhking]

I figured LaTourette voted present.

Well there's three Republicans voting present, now. [shrug]

[Cultural Jihad]

6 minutes to go and one 'no' vote. We heard a few 'no's verbally.

[Consort]

...and Zoe Lofgren is a wilted flower child from the '60s.

[Bogey78O]

Hannity will.

[swheats]

That was too many hours ago to recall. Check out C-span's archives and replay the hearing.

[snippy_about_it]

Hannity and Colmes gets him first, right after the vote.

[rintense]

What's the scoop? What did I miss?

[dixie sass]

Clara, this man knows things that people do not want him to talk about. He mentioned a lot of names and I'm praying that he has things squirreled away so that he continues to live.

[Catspaw]

No, LaTourette is an R. He's tried to help Traficant throughout this ugly matter, not that Traficant listened to much of what LaTourette had to say.

You get no arguments from me .. who put the con in congress? I don't know, but look how ya can never get rid of it.

We really do owe the children a brighter future but looking at the lot we have up there, I don't know.

[Jhoffa_]

I don't..

I love him and everything.. but I think he's guilty.

As much as I like the guy, I can't shill for him.

I was very impressed with Ron Paul also. Very considerate, well spoken man.

If traficant had his prose and common sense he would have stood a chance.

[fightu4it]

I just hope before the door hits him in the @ss that he drops a dime on every one in Congress that he has any dirt on!

[mhking]

Who will get ahold of Trafficant first? Donahue, King or Oprah?

He was scheduled for H&C tonight; I don't know if he still will end up on FNC this evening. Of those three, I'm sure it'll be Larry King, though.

[Catspaw]

I see 2 R's voting present, on D voting no. And I had to put my glasses on to make sure.

Oops, now it's 3 R's voting present.

[Rebelbase]

A Man is getting screwed.

Fox just showed a live shot of Samantha's funeral at the Crystal Catherdral in Garden Grove. It is an overflow crowd.

[floriduh voter]

I switched back and forth between The American Idol and The American Hypocrites. I hope he sings like a bird - even in prison he can give interviews. But, he probably doesn't want the MacDougal treatment.
