Actions are not just physical. Actions are sometimes verbal...how stupid is this? If verbalizing isn't physical is it telepathic?

No one has ever suffered for what he thought. If he acts on his thoughts, like verbalizing them, then maybe some have had to pay.

Very good analysis. It was the personal humiliation of Bush achieving several historic victories right on Li'l Tommy's watch that put Tommy in a pantytwist.

He's been driven insane, not by Rush, but by the fact that his own Rat Senators decided they'd gotten the message loud and clear from the American people and they'd better not be seen as obstructionists to our war-time President.

I love that Bush did this in the lame duck session. I honestly don't think Bush did it only to humiliate Puff. That was just a happy side effect of Bush wanting to respond to the American people's desire to get the war and security business underway as soon and as efficiently as possible.

Rush should build on this incident for the good of conservatism and political education in America by immediately launching a huge print, tv & radio ad campaign that says one thing:

RUSH LIMBAUGH. LISTEN FOR YOURSELF. or

RUSH LIMBAUGH. MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND.

The more people tune in, the higher the percentage of people who eventually get it. Go Rush.

Daschle is an anti-American POS. We need to use the 'anti-American' phrase at every opportunity to describe their messages.

Daschle's comments were so bizarre, so over the top, that it brings out the paranoid in me. Is there some strategy that goes without comment? Daschle never behaved in a temper before, unless it was that carefully scripted tantrum over some Bush comment a few weeks back. But we could all see that it was scripted...

Frankly, Tom has never demonstrated before that he is passionate about anything. He speaks as if he's talking to some two-year-old all the time, rather like Al Gore. Soft murmurs, but carefully enunciated. A pediatrics charge nurse...Uriah Heep...

Is he sending some sort of message to his donors? Trial lawyers were the biggest losers this goround...

Daschle's comments were obviously scripted. The question is, what was the strategy behind them?

This was more unscripted and the farther he went the more honest/paranoid he sounded? This seemed to be backroom talk among the rats. Who hates Rush more than Heilerat? She has attacked him more than anyone else in the past 10 years. Our goal over the next 2 years is to expose her for her hatefilled commie lies. She will try to stay in front of Mathews' screwball cameras but we can expose her and track her like the RAT that she is, until we have that butch bottled blonde head in a trap. After all Dasshole and McOlive are just her puppets.

Pray for GW and the Truth

Bunched panties could account for the perpetual scowl on Li'l Tommy's face, don'tcha know!

And for his deep concern and deep distress!

Suggestion: Preparation H

I hate when I see a guy like Daschle sprain his p*ssy. Put some ice on it.

I think this is all a big set-up for a talk show by none other than "slick willie"

Who would Clinton hire as his call screener to protect his sorry butt? James Carville or Paul Bugala is my pick.

Personally, I would love to see a talk show with slick willie. He would get an argumentative caller who new his stuff, and fly into an insane rage right on the air!

No, Billyboy is incapable of tolerating opposition without exploding, and would alienate any normal human who was listening at the time.

Like most criminal psychopaths, Clinton has a psychotic sense of self-aggrandizement, flying into an infantile narcissistic rage in defending the indefensible grandiose self. He wouldn't last six weeks on the air.

I honestly don't think Bush did it only to humiliate Puff.

UH HUH!!!

Don't you recall that Lott was going to wait until Talent was in office. Lott's plan was to get talent in office pass the appropriations and then do HOME LAND SECURITY AND THE JUDGES NEXT YEAR?

Lott released that to the media. Recall??

Who was it called LOTT into the White House Woodshed and kicked some Lott Butt.

When Lott came out of the wood shed he said that he was going to "ALLOW" Daschle to stay in control of the lame duck session.

Didn't you read any of the Posts that said that G.D. LOTT IS KISSING DASCHLES A$$? LOTT was NOW letting Daschle stay in control of the SENATE for the LAME DUCK SESION!!! That G. D. RINO LOTT SOB was going to let Dashle trash everything... Bla bla. bla. Most people here did not notice LOTT did that on emerging from the white house wood shed while limping slightly.

I spent days defending what Trent was doing. NO ONE BELIEVED ME!

If you think BUSH did not intend to humiliate Daschle, I invite you to look at the imprint of TEXAS boot on LOTT'S Rump. Lott got that imprint when he was trying NOT to Humiliate Tom Daschle.

DASCHLE: Well, I only can say what I've already said which is that
I think people have to be aware of the consequences of their actions.

Come again, Tommy-boy?

The Senate was no longer in session, hence, the argument that Vacant Lott could have carried the water is simply false-to-fact.

You are either ignorant or a liar or both. Here are the facts.

Then president of the UNITED STATES CAN CALL A SPECIAL SESSION of the CONGRESS any time it is not in session.

See if you can read the following. Get help if you need it to understand the meaning of IS. Daschle calls the session and then adjourns after turning down the HOME Security bill and Judges and the Republicans let him.

The day after Talent is confirmed senator in Missouri,and daschle adjourns the senate, Bush calls a special session of CONGRESS.

It reorganizes with LOTT as majority leader and the stuff gets passed. It reorganiszes becuase the Republicans now have a majority.

Apparently you want everyone to know how ignorant you are. At least that is what you accomplish.

If you want an example of a president calling a special session after congress had adjourned ,I refer you to 1948 and the special session of a Republican congress called by Democratic president Harry Truman.

Actions are not just physical. Actions are sometimes verbal.

This is Mr Daschund being his most oxymoronic and proving that neither in Thought, Word or Deed is this man fit to be a senator.

I used Kurtz's book Media Circus as a source for a paper I did once. Kurtz works hard to be seen as an objective media critic--even though he tilts very left.
For Kurtz to back Limbaugh in this tactical battle is devastating for Daschle. The other media will join the herd mentality---and declare Limbaugh the winner.

Interesting. Since it looks like the media will probably declare Rush as winner, before Daschle cries "uncle," the American people will be saved from exposure to even more Daschle lunacy. Thanks!!
