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.

[Catspaw]

Oh, now I have to put on my specs to watch the tube.

[NeoCaveman]

Why was she screaming?????

Same reason Maxine Waters screams...

[marajade]

thanks for the correction...

You don't think Janet's been out to get him? I'm not saying he's an angel, but if Reno wanted him so bad and set a lot of this up, I want him free.

And can you believe the woman from Ohio saying they have to protect the integrity of the house. LOL, they really are delusional.

[floriduh voter]

I concentrate on Daschle Democrats, they're the worst. Rinos aren't so hot but they are better than Daschle Democrats and I'd like to have the majority leader back in the R column. You have no clast, iconoclast.

[iconoclast]

Do you think convicted felons should be serving in Congress?

I think there's an abundance of UNconvicted ones there.

[lodwick]

Welcome aboard. And thanks for your years of honest service to your community. Salute.

[Clovis_Skeptic]

Why is Condit still in Congress? Why wasn't he expelled?

because Condidit did not attack the IRS, the Chicoms, Clinton, and El Reno

[cake_crumb]

I think he said somehting about a rape of justice, and some FBI agent accused him of raping her, of course.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

I saw that Rather interview on O'Reilly. Rather is about as pitiful as they come. What a stupid piece of $%@^%@.

[justshe]

GREAT judge who says, "It AIN'T EAAAAA-SSSSY!" Not once, but 3 times. Great judge, huh?

[Centurion2000]

And can you believe the woman from Ohio saying they have to protect the integrity of the house. LOL, they really are delusional.

That's what pissed me off so much .... now this scumbag from Co is mentioning that Congress is there for the " the public good, not to enrich ourselves for private profit"

Whatever Demjanjuk did or did not do, the Department of Justice railroaded him. They used evidence they knew was tainted, suppressed exculpatory evidence, and thus practised what the court of appeals eventually held was fraud on the court. Traficant opposed that railroading. Are you saying he was wrong to do so, because of something else Demjanjuk may have done (and that, true or not, was inconsistent with the charges DOJ was prosecuting him for)?

[Howlin]

Oh, this is disgusting. He's using 9-11 to make himself look good.

[PJ-Comix]

Steve Gobie, the homosexual prostitute who lived in Barney Frank's "English Basement" apartment on Capitol Hill, was not on Frank's staff.

But he had Franking priveleges.

[Feiny]

You could fertilize millions of acres with the crap that comes out of these peoples mouths.

[snippy_about_it]

On one hand they call him an idiot on the other they keep saying there is no tape either video or voice incriminating him because he is too clever. Oh, there's an excuse, we don't have any tapes so he must have done it.

Some of these folks are way too angry, they have an agenda.

[marajade]

thank god hulshof ain't running against Carnahan for senate because she'd win for sure...

[Consort]

Hulshof is overdoing it and is twisting the knife. Very insensitive and totally unnecessary in this instance.

[aristeides]

Studds and Crane, both now out of the House.
