C-SPAN

[PhiKapMom]

Scratch my last comment!

It is scheduled for 10:30 est time and 9:30 my time here in the CST.

[fml]

aww gee, what a friggin' shame.

[cyncooper]

Who is the female presiding over the Senate?

Lisa Murkowski, (R) Alaska

[PhiKapMom]

Even Hispanic groups are saying the RATs are anti-Hispanic -- Republicans didn't say he wasn't Hispanic enough -- that came from the other side of the aisle where Leahy is standing!

Troops 'told of March 17 invasion'

The pro-war Sun, Britain's biggest-selling daily, said that US President George W. Bush would give Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein a 72-hour ultimatum to disarm next week after a crucial Security Council vote.

Maybe it just the warning that he's delivering....

[hobbes1]

Amen Sink.

[Howlin]

He's going to be on the floor and abstain???? Because of his health?

[mabelkitty]

WOW! Sounds like we are getting out of the UN!

[Cboldt]

An abstain is the same as a "Not affirmative" and will be reasonably interpreted as a preference to NOT vote up-or-down on the confirmation.

[cyncooper]

Oh dear, it's Leahy.

And I gave up cussing for Lent!

You can still express yourself: Despicable, disgusting, deceitful...

[Howlin]

We just may be here when you get back!

[Republic of Texas]

I'm complaining about what has ALREADY happened. I'm worried about what might happen.

[hoosiermama]

"BEcause of his health" He's afraid for his life.....his political life.

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!! This is an extreme circumstance -- like being tortured! Some things you just cannot control and hearing Leahy speak is one of them!

[rockinonritalin]

Remember Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack when his tee shot ricocheted off the ball washer and hit his arm? I can hear Graham saying, "Ooo, my arm. Its broken. I can't vote."

[hobbes1]

If he's well know to be outspoken, and freely shares his views with others, how are they able to be so effectivley hidden?

[Carolinamom]

Do I detect a note of panic in Leahy's animated hate?

[Green]

I can't stand it..had to turn cpsan down...Everything he is saying has already been refuted over and over yet he gets up and says the same thing again.

[hobbes1]

PAEZ was CONFIRMED ....Get over it.

[Quilla]

AP is reporting (hold on to your hat) that white supremists beat up little johnnie.
