Well, he'll never try to tell them otherwise that's for sure. As long as the RATS keep throwing right over the middle of the plate, he's gonna continue to knock them outta the park.

There were some committee fights after the Repubs took to Dems to the cleaners this last election. It must be intertwined with this somehow. Anyone know if it was a Judiciary Committee fight??

Agreed. And Harkin and Dashole would be leading the charge. And the "mainstream" media would lead off with it all the rest of the week. Funny, I bet we won't hear a peep about the "right-wing kook" comment.

YES! PLEASE, PLEASE Mark Dayton, take the podium.
This man is the dumbest, most untalented and least qualified Senator ever. He inherited a bunch of Daytons/Target stock (from FATHER and MOTHER who got it from GRANDDAD) and finally bought himself a job. He's worse than Carol "Mosely Stupid" Brown or Patty "Hey, I live in TWO Washingtons hee hee" Murray. Larry Pressler dumb ... well, let's not go overboard here!
He's like Major Owens without the soul and personality.
To: Darlin'
Mark Dayton is on now. The first time
I have ever heard him talk about anything.
He should be a prime target in 04!!!
To: txradioguy
Nobody is watching THIS but us.
To: Ragtime Cowgirl
Good Idea....I live in San Diego County and I have not seen anything in our local rag.
To: Wait4Truth
Thanks for the ping and prayers for our beloved president.

He should be a prime target in 04!!! We're counting on that here in Norm Coleman's state.

You know, I wonder if Senator Hatch is going to start cussing soon. He looks furious.

Is this still the Estrada thing? Dayton keeps talking about President Bush and the war.
To: woodyinscc
He should be a prime target in 04!!! He gets votes the ol' fashion way - he buys them:
Sen. Mark Dayton, a Minnesota Democrat, donates his entire Senate salary of $145,000 to the Minnesota Seniors Federation to subsidize monthly bus trips to Winnipeg, Manitoba, so elderly constituents can buy drugs there at cheaper prices.
To: DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet
When the Dems are speaking, they digress into all manner of other areas where they can take potshots at the President and/or his other nominees or platforms. The Pubbies bring the focus back to Estrada when they get the floor.

I doubt very much if the system allows him to forego his salary. He could however give it all to charity but doubt that he did that, either.
To: ArneFufkin
Brown, Murry, Dayton, Byrd? What kind of education do they have. More Stoop-ids? Are they threatened by a Hispanic knowing more then they know? THerefore the put downs and invalidations.
This man is not consistant! DOes HE know what he's saying? DUH WE START A WAR? WHAT ABOUT 9-11?
