A few days ago, Sen. Frist said that — if Democrats delay the Alito nomination past January 20 — then Frist would cancel the week-long recess that was scheduled to begin soon thereafter. Senate Democrats have now decided to delay past January 20 (contrary to a previous agreement), and so the Washington Post reports:
Frist announced that … he would cancel a week-long Senate vacation next week — a step that he took yesterday, according to his chief of staff, Eric Ueland. Ueland said last night that Frist planned to start debate over Alito in the full Senate on Jan. 25, the day after the committee’s vote, adding, “We’ll stay on the nomination until the judge is the justice.”
Good for Sen. Frist.
I was wondering what happened to that Frist threat. Good for him!
If there's one thing the Craparats hate, it's anything that interfers with their play time. Good job Senator Frist!
Sounds like Frist did OK, as opposed to that idiot, eunuch specter.
Where are all the people that usually call Frist spineless?
Yep, next thing ya know the Craparats will complain about getting Fristed.
There's still time for Frist to remember he has none.
GREAT line!
And he still IS spineless.
Even blind hogs find an acorn once in a while, right, else they'd starve.
Oh Darn!
And to think that our Senior Senator from here in Taxachusetts had already made plans for that week:
1) a get together with his (male) buddies in the OWL Club to stage a panty-raid on Radcliffe
2) the "Backroads and Bridges" Tour of Cape Cod and the Islands!
Is it legal to get Fristed without a warrant?
Only in San Francisco.
I'm really thrilled that Frist appears to have cojones now that he's lameducking his final year. About damn time!
It's about time Frist started doing SOMEthing. This is fine, but it's not all that big a deal when compared to the big pile o' nuthin that's been his time as leader.
I am right here.
If it comes to fruition it will be a first for Frist. Let us not forget his track record. As the Senate "leader" he is batting .001.
In my estimation, he is still a Tower of Jelly and, I believe, the facts will back me up.
A Republican who finally carried through on a threat to the Democrats.
