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.

[SCHROLL]

Quota judge at best. She's an ex-judge, hopefully soon to be ex-congresswoman.

[terilyn]

Who WAS that?

I wanted to punch my tv.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

He's not talking to Congress but to the court of public opinion. He knows he's gone. He needs to get his points across sooner. Most people here understand what he's saying, but we keep up on things and have been following this. He's addressing the great unwashed, but I don't think they'll get the gist of what he's saying. Plus look how much good his previous statements are doing for him now.

[justshe]

The SLUDGE amongst them, no?

[Miss Marple]

"Not to enrich ourselves for private profit?" Could we please discuss Gephardt's beach house or Linda Daschle's lobbying? What a crock!

[Catspaw]

But Hulsdorf has good hair.

[spectre]

There is also an impeached by the U.S. Senate Federal Judge serving in Comgress - Alcee Hastings D - FL.

ConGre$$ .. The Ultimate SuperFund Cleanup Site ...

[Centurion2000]

Now that congressman just said that this will be their "finest hour"

We sent a glimmer of light to the US ..... as a glimmer of hop that they can kill thousands of lives but they will not kill the American spirit ... more Bullcrap about the trust factor with the American voter and their congressman or representative.

These people are SICK !!!!

[hoosierham]

"convicted felon" =good man IF jury convicted based on false testimony and prosecutorial manuevers that prevented defendant presenting a proper defense.

While he may be guilty, if the gov't had to break the rules to convict him, then the conviction is hollow. Our legal sytem doesn't lend itself to justice, not when jurors are kept ignorant of their rights and responsibilities.

[NeoCaveman]

She's an ex-judge, hopefully soon to be ex-congresswoman.

No she has one of those safe minority districts...like Shelia Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters, et al.

[Clovis_Skeptic]

gonna miss Traficant...the king of the one minute speech....beam me up!!!

[Howlin]

Unfortunately, he is "one of ours."

[cake_crumb]

"Congressmen raped two pages."

Two PAGES?? OOOOhhhh. I thaought he said JUSTICE!!

I didn't catch the name of the moron noe claiming that Congresscritters should uphold justice when they find evildoers, rather than "enriching themselves"....I bet he votd to keep the IMPEACHED, PERJURING RAPIST in office!

[MissBaby]

TO any Congressional aids lurking...your bosses are shamless. Make no mistake, the Republicans have orhestrated this SHAM! The Dems are just as happy, but the Republicans control the house.

There is not one memeber standing up in support. This is totally, TOTALLY, unbelieveable.

You could mark their words but it will do no good. They were long ago hypocrites and they will be hypocrites always.

[NormsRevenge]

Families don't air dirty laundry in public :-?

We're Family here.

What the hell planet is this guy from ?

[Howlin]

Never mind all that. He's BLACK. UGH.

[jporcus]

Notice how few if any of the "big name" congress people
are quiet? I don't know whose worse, Traficant, or the rest
of them.
