cspan2 ^

[Recovering_Democrat]

Strom Thurmond speaking now...in support of Judge Shedd.

[Recovering_Democrat]

90-9 vote on the Homeland Security bill.

STROM THURMOND RECEIVES HUGE APPLAUSE IN WHAT COULD BE HIS FINAL SENATE SPEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DICK DURBIN HAS TO SIT IN THE CHAIR AND ENDURE IT! STANDING OVATION FOR STROM!!! EVEN THE RATS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Patrick Leahy, an obviously beaten WUSSY, just says in a defeated tone, "I request the yeas and nays..."

SENATOR DEPENDS IS A BEATEN MAN...WHAT A WONDERFUL SIGHT TO BEHOLD.

[BuddhaBoy]

90 to 9 just shows that Dems have no courage of their convictions. They bitched and moaned for months, and when they couldnt win, they threw in the towel, so they wouldnt be held resposible for their own votes.

Cowards.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Jim Bunning of Kentucky HOLLERS "AYE!" for Shedd. :)

[Recovering_Democrat]

Democrats now will have no standing to gripe about the DHS...they voted FOR IT....BWA HA HA HA HA HA!

[Mark]

My heart goes pitter-patter when I see BI-PARTISAN support. I certainly hope that the Republicans will SHARE the power now that they are in control.(/Lib Rant)

Sarbanes is begging to pass the bill. Amazing ain't it, how cooperative these RATS are when they're in the (impending) minority??

Sen Leaky gives pond scum a bad name

[Recovering_Democrat]

Never have seen Zell up in the chair...nice to see him there.

Maybe he ought to be approached about taking a more permanent role there in the 108th Congress.

[InvisibleChurch]

did they get rid of the trial lawyer parts that allow them to sue the Eli Lillys of the world?

[Cicero]

Yes, that was the earlier, and closer, vote against the Democratic amendment.

[Caipirabob]

Is congress achieving something useful? What country is this again?

[Cate]

hmm.... virtual reality senate. I like it. Maybe they are all just figments of our imagination and the programmer finally got all the bugs worked out. No wait, I still see Hildabeast running around down there. One can only hope.

Sen Leaky gives pond scum a bad name

Given a choice, I'd much prefer pond scum.
