Thanks for starting the thread, Rob! This has been one exciting evening. Hatch is GREAT!!

Remember when the Widow Carnahan always stopped by the evil one to see how to vote.

The evil one always plants hereself down in front, plays with her hair and puts a big smile on in case the camera is watching. She has been doing this forever since she came in the Senate! Makes me ill!

...wears black pantsuits because it reminds her of the SS uniform.

She looks like that big ugly teacher in Matilda!

Pinging so I can find my place after I go all the way to the other end of the house to watch this great event for a few minutes and wait for this thread to build another 50 replies.

Not on cloture, Frist moved the yeas and nays for a short debate and a vote on Estrada by Midnight.

[js1138]

I suspect votes will be taken at regular intervals to disrupt sleep patterns.

[PhiKapMom]

He doesn't realize that Teddy is not up to coming in at Midnight! LOL!!!

[freebilly]

Lemme get this straight....Frist called for all the Senators to get their asses in chambers by midnight? *doesn't know Senate rules*

Heck, you'd think Frist was almost proud to be a Republican....

[Severa]

*is a product of public high schools, class of '95* *LOL*

[Deb]

Can Frist call for a vote if 51 are present?

[Jorge]

Well it was fun before .. now we are waiting for a vote or a filibuster

Hopefully things will start rolling soon

It's getting kinda noisy in there!

[Texas_Jarhead]

bullcorn has been pretty popular 'round Texas too

[MamaLucci]

Good,thought it was a live capture. Looks like the dems were taken by surprise.

[AF68]

Ted Kennedy is probably already passed out by now.

[HairOfTheDog]

I have missed the last two eons of this.... Figured it was all downhill after Byrd spoke...

....from a purely entertainment point of view...

[Dolphy]

Are Graham (FL) and Kerry back in the Senate. Are the Dems short Senators? (And yes I know, Daschle is a short senator:)

My daughter has concluded that Senator Clinton is a Nazi sympathizer(because she is a socialist and anti-semitic), and that she wears black pantsuits because it reminds her of the SS uniform.

Wouldn't doubt it. She sure aint fashionable. And we know she must have some kind of odd fetish to continually wear that uniform.
