[TLBSHOW]

Reminds me of being at the super bowl and in the middle of a great one at that and then oops the wives call and the players run off the field. We will be back in a week is heard on the loud speaker! Even Rush came back from a golf game to do work... Any idea what these people get paid per week?

TLB...

250,000 American troops are in harms way, with war a minute away and Frist sends those overworked senators home for a vacation. Here we have cheerleaders backing Frist all the way. Guess they do not care about the troops. I have friends over there, will have to email them and tell them the Senate is on vacation, go ahead and start the war without them.

Read post #47 before you allow your knee to jerk...once again!

This is absolutely correct. Between McConnell and the other senator who's wife is going under the knife (and I don't care what any of you say, I'd leave DC for my wife's operation also), we only have 49 remaining...a tie with the democrats. There is a parliamentary move that could cripple the Estrada process.

OTOH, recessing for a week allows McConnell and the other guy to get back in town, and the Repubs can continue with the debate.

Remember, when you're ahead, sometimes you call timeout to ice the other player by making them think about it (free throws, field goals, etc.).
