..Lott has us all gun shy..

Sure; but he's one the of the old used-to-being-in-the-minority republicans. He was used to being Dashle's Falstaff. Frist is the new breed. He knows who his
enemies are. He's got the whip hand and he's going to use it. He could care less if the demoncrats are upset.

Doctor Frist is now in surgery and guess who's on the table...sorry, we're out of anesthetic..scalpel, please...

[freebilly]

BTW-Frist looks like future Presidential material. His new position gives him "recognition" time

He got my attention tonight....

[Slyfox]

Speaking of Slick, I am thinking of that lawyer on the last Sienfeld show where he gets the girl in bed with him and he gets the call that the judge has called everyone back to the courtroom. Well, not just Slick but probably most of the dems.

[Otta B Sleepin]

He showed them tonight that he has certain rules in his hands to make sure that if that's what they really want to do, he's going to exercise his power as SML to make sure it's 24/7.

Right. He's shown them that he's willing to call their bluff. I think they're seeing the handwriting on the wall - Daschle looked pretty grim.

[Capitalism2003]

Ok, my last copy n paste for the night? :)
I seriously think a good freeping can turn the tide on these guys.

...........
Anyone up for a little Freep of the demo senators? Leave them a voicemail tonight. I have a feeling when it comes time for a vote, some of the vocal opposition will cave and do what they must politically. They will not sacrifice the hispanic vote. A little friendly persuasion is all they need. Here are the voicemail #'s and some email addresses.

LOVE IT ROFLOL

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Egads!

[Cate]

////blended with french brandy////
quick, drink it up and put the bottle in the neighbors garbage. You wouldn't want to be caught with the evidence.

[glocker23]

-Doctor Frist is now in surgery and guess who's on the table...sorry, we're out of anesthetic..scalpel, please...

LOL, well said!

But, like someone posted above, why are we still talking? Why not call it a night if there is nothing else to be done? Does Sessions just like talking on the Senate floor at 1am or am I just missing something here?

[maranatha]

Whatever is going on, it made me turn on and watch Sessions and that is a pleasure. "thunderously false" referring to charge of lack of experience.

[PhiKapMom]

We got into this discusson at the end of the live thread last night.

To sum it up briefly, Estrada worked for Ken Starr when he was SG after moving into Starr's office after working for Rudy in the US Attorney's office in Southern District of NY.

Estrada was in the SG's office during Filegate, Travelgate, Vince Foster, Whitewater, appointing of Independent Counsels and when the Paula Jones case was argued to the SCOTUS that the President could not be sued and am probably leaving out some clinton deals like Webster Hubbel. Looks like he may have been involved in writing memos on the Paula Jones case.

He left in 1997 -- Why? We haven't been able to find out!

[freebilly]

Paul Masson Grande Amber VSOP ($12). Blended and bottled in Bardstown, KY, but a close look at the label says that it's blended with French brandy (doesn't say which). I didn't know that

Surrender that bottle (there's that "S" word again in connection with the French)! I was always partial to Korbel Brandy (of course I did work at the Winery for 7 years....).

[wireplay]

From what I know, any senator can call a quorum so perhaps we are going to get shifts of pubs letting the dems off, claling them back, letting them off, etc.

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[milagro]

Sessions is cutting to the chase: the DOJ documents the dems are whining about Estrada not turning over are not his to turn over! Go Sessions!! Using the Solicitor Generals' defense of Estrada too!

[lizma]

I believe there is a thread with 7,000+ responses but that was over the course of several weeks/months.

A Hobbit Hole thread hit over 48,000. That's the largest I've seen.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Frist knows how to get things done. And as an MD, he knows what it's like to work long hours moreso than anybody else in the Senate. Laughing at all of the naysayers...

[hoosiermama]

AH HAW! Sounds like Hillary might be afraid of what he knows.
