As requested, a thread to follow the filibuster.

Hiding Behind the Constitution, Which is odd,because usually he keeps it behind him, since that's where he wipes with it...

[nicmarlo]

Reminded me of the Godfather where they kissed the ring of the Godfather!

Yes, that would; it would also remind one of the Godfather where an underling looks for a "nod" of approval....shows apreciation for a crumb.....would willingly wallow in their sh*t......just to be "in favor." GAG!

[Txslady]

That mute button on the RealOne Player sure comes in handy!


Hatch-MUTE-OFF! Leaky-MUTE-ON!

Unless of course it appears both are talking back and forth. Otherwise the constant on and on and on from the dems gets my blood boiling and that isn't good for my job.

[swheats]

Reid said this morning they were filibustering because they are not getting the info from the White House and answers that they want.

He went further to say that unless they get what they (the dems) want the Repubs won't get what they're asking for.

It's on.

Yes, watching these guys quote Washington, bring up God and the Constitution is surreal.

Sen. Leahy:

"I don't quite read the Constitution that way."

(mumble, mumble....mumble)

Sen. Leahy's saying that the seven living solicitor generals who said memos should not be released are ignorant?

"This administration is far more secretive than others (I've worked under)."

 

This President knows that you can't be trusted, Senator (mine).

 

Leahy's now quoting George Washington. Why does this remind me of Sunset Boulevard?

 

[hobbes1]

Does Leaky sound a little Drunk ?

[swheats]

WoW somebody did their homework. You go girl.

Thanks

[PhiKapMom]

I am with you! I will do a lot for the cause on FR but Leahy or Hillary are not two of them! I cannot listen to either one -- I take my mute off when a Republican talks!

[EllaMinnow]

Sunset Boulevard?

Because Leaky Leahy looks like Erich von Stroheim.

[PhiKapMom]

I have a feeling a lot of mute buttons on here are going to be worn out if this keeps up! I have the same strategy!

[Inspectorette]

"Bela Pelosi".

Thanks, but I can't take the credit - it was originally posted by another Freeper a while back.

[PhiKapMom]

Exactly! The nod of the approval from the Godfather Hillary! It is creepy to watch!

[swheats]

Remember hilery's white house database? And all those FBI files? Hmmm.

That would explain it and the DNC Money bag.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

The mute button is a life-saver, for sure. (^:

Leahy's dissing the President, the DOJ...now bringing up Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Leahy is a peacock.

[Mo1]

Does Leaky sound a little Drunk ?

Naaaaaaaaaaa ... he just sounds like an idiot

Now the other day when Uncle Teddy was on the floor .. he sounded drunk

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

He's preening in front of these cameras. I wonder what Leahy acted like pre-C-span. (^:

[arasina]

I want to contact some Senators on this but don't know exactly what to say. Also, is there any record of which Senators are either OPPOSED to or ON THE FENCE regarding Estrada's nomination?

[swheats]

It's not enough he droning on but now he starts mumbling. This really could go on all night.

[OXENinFLA]

All I hear is Charlie Brown's Teacher........Waawa Wa waaa wa waaa wawawa.
