When the Senate is expecting Brown's nomination, propose cloture for Bolton and if it fails continue the process of JNs until 9:00pm tonight and call session for 7:00am tomorrow.

Just in from the Dark Side. They called Kerry's office to kiss his boots about the Downing Street Memo but Kerry will not bring up the Downing Street Memo today because he is not in Washington. Kerry (AS USUAL) missed his first day back at work!

Al-Jerkzera ain't gonna like that one little bit. They have been praising him all weekend long. The poor little darlin's

[Stultis]

Everyone is generally in agreement that the last Senate week wasn't one of Frist's better moments.

Nor Reid's, however.

The unanimous consensus among Brit Hume's panelists (including Hume) was that Reid "got rolled" by the Senate 'Rats who sent out the letter urging the Bolton filabuster. (Who was that, btw, I forget. "Hair Plugs,", "Leaky," and/or "The Gnome"?) Reid reportedly did not want that filibuster and it was not approved by the 'Rat leadership. In fact it sounds like the leadership was not even informed.

Of course I only heard about this on Special Report, as all other media outlets are exclusively concerned with Republican dissension, insubordination, backstabbing and extremism (real or imagined).

Let's see what the keagle has to say about her.

He voted for Owen. I bet he doesn't vote for Brown. He has a pattern to uphold of voting against black people (Thurgood Marshall, Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice...)

[Dad yer funny]

WHOOoaa , Washington State judge has upheld the election,...we don't win, not yet

[saveliberty]

Oh come on, we knew that was going to happen.

[Stultis]

When the Senate is expecting Brown's nomination, propose cloture for Bolton and if it fails continue the process of JNs until 9:00pm tonight and call session for 7:00am tomorrow.

Such cruel and gruelling behavior will have Kerry claiming another Purple Heart. (Oh, wait, he didn't show up for work.)

But... But... Doesn't Al JERKZera understand that it's good windsurfing weather????

[NeoCaveman]

Hey Senate: JBR me ASAP.

[Miss Marple]

Well, here I am, waiting to see what happens in the latest exceiting installment!

Meanwhile, Patricia Owens was sworn in this morning.

Oh, and Michael Jackson is back in the hospital again.

[WoodstockCat]

was that an unnamed opponent in 2006 for Sheets or has someone stepped up for the GOP?

[Txsleuth]

Kerry once again can't be counted on? Surprise, surprise...he promises all weekend that he is going to get on the floor and bring up this memo...

NOW, you say he won't even be in the Senate today? Surfboarding again, bicycling, what could it be that would take him away from his moment????

[NeoCaveman]

Woops it's JRB and that doesn't work as a slogan that way :(

[processing please hold]

Al-Jerkzera better realize they can't come between sKerry and his wind surfin'.

What a blow hard he is. Are there any sharks in the water where he likes to play?

Inquiring minds would like to know! :-)

I really appreciate this thread, (thank you), as I may not be able to watch for myself. I wish I could wave my magic wand and command "no opinion, just report the facts", but alas, my wand is on the fritz.
