[Howlin]

Live stream from C-SPAN

Comments and discussion of the live coverage of the continuing Estrada filibuster.

[RobFromGa]

The Axis of Weasels now includes Iowa.

[NEPA]

We're given an issue on a silver platter and Frist is nowhere to be found.

Maybe he and Lindsey Graham are napping so they can put in another 2 AM session like they did last week.

[Mo1]

Ok I missed it .. what is Hatch talking about ?

[Ole Okie]

........"I suggest the absence of a quorum", and immediately the president said, "The clerk will call roll".

He must call the roll on a quorum call. It's automatic and non-debatable

[RobFromGa]

He's some kind of shield. I suggest this kind. He's one of the wings, Leahy is the other. Hillary is the air-laid core.

[Mo1]

what in the heck is Harkin talking about

Is he trying to tell us that Saddam isn't as bad as Bin Ladin?

[cyncooper]

Now he's talking about the War on Iraq

There is a Pile of Dung on the Senate floor. I was back in time to hear him say there has been no link between bin Laden and Saddam, though "they" are trying to make a link.

Hatch has stepped up to point out the Al Qaeda guy in Baghdad, and Hatch says that is but ONE example.

Back to what Harkin said. He said Saddam is an infidel to Osama, as he's not a true Islamist.

Well Sheik Mohammad that was just picked up was described in news accounts I read yesterday as a customer at strip clubs and purchaser of lap dances. Also liked to drink. Yet, somehow he became a top member of Al Qaeda.

AS I type, Dung repeats the true Islamist line.

[RobFromGa]

Thanks, I read that article. I have never seen a copy of the letter.

I really hate Harkin.

[Mo1]

Now he sounds like the Bagdad Boys

[RobFromGa]

He wants us to take out Saudi Arabia first. At least he's on the record for 2 years or so down the road.

[estrogen]

Is he a terrible speaker or what?

[woodyinscc]

That sounds interesting .. thanks for the update


This may be why Sen Roberts of Kansas
did not want to get into it yesterday on Fox.
He wasn't equivocating,
but was hesitant to elaborate on the nomination!

[RobFromGa]

good background information about Bonnie Campbell.

[Mo1]

Now he is talking about Pakistan (sp?)

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ... where is he going with this?

[mabelkitty]

Watch the demographics shift dramatically as all the Eastern Seaboard snowbirds retire to the southwest.

[RobFromGa]

He's stalling. Harkin shouldn't be allowed to utter the words "World Trade Center". He isn't worthy.

[fml]

He's a complete knuckle head.

[Kryptonite]

Your tagline....what are the numbers?

[justshe]

Just another tip.

I'm on a dial-up....and I can take a load of clothes from the washer and put them in the dryer in the time it takes to refresh the thread.

In case you're making a list of "Tips For FR Posters"

[brownie]

I have serious doubts if the opposition can come up with a tactic to tarnish what Hatch is putting forth. Won 10 out of 15 cases in anomous decisions.

What's an anomous decision? Is it series? Should we use duct-tape?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
