BWAHAHAHA!!!!! All you need is Ketchup Boy coughing.

Apparently the tag team of Swimmer and Hitlery got to Osama Obama; after all his posturing, he's supporting the filibuster.

Eh. Lil' Lincoln's vote isn't needed to confirm Alito, and he knows it. He'll vote to invoke cloture; that's what's important.

"Is this the actual vote or a vote to have a vote?"

It's a vote, to see if a committee can vote, to have a vote, so they can think about voting, sometime, somewhere...

They might get it done faster if they didn't think this was some kind of cocktail party.

I had a cut with clotures in it, too. Docter said to leave them in for a week and I took them out myself.

DU is currently closed to non-registrants, but I bet they're FREAKING. Lucy yanks the football away yet again.

Yes, I was disappointed too. Just like election night, the Dummies have closed their doors so they can cry in private.

Now I have to do my merry shadenfreude dance without the music of their wailing.

Is Kerry back from his ski trip yet?

He's recovering from a case of mold he caught from the hot tub in Davos.

Damn they locked down DU. The DUmmies were still chanting "I believe" this afternoon, desperate to believe the nomination could be filibustered. So now we can't view the melt down in the reality based community.

BTW doesn't the Kerry filibuster remind you of Otter's speech in Animal House:

"... in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture, be done on somebody's part."

And the D's are just the guys to do it!

Always a dead give away when they are in meltdown mode.
