I know this is from DU, but I first heard it on Fox.

SOB .. they wrote a letter to Specter?

[tiredoflaundry]

That is what it looks like. Bass turds

[Howlin]

Yet another INVESTIGATION of Bush? *Snort*

They are really pouring it on, aren't they?

[Mo1]

yep .. they are scared about November

[Peach]

Good. Let's see what the men in Washington are made of.

LOL -- you're such a good spy.

[tiredoflaundry]

:o)

[onyx]

Cripes. These people are so full of hate, they're insane.

[onyx]

I would have paid to have heard your side of the conversation.

[sissyjane]

Also...entirely too tight. Yuck!!!!

[Txsleuth]

That letter and subject needs its own thread, TOL!!

I heard a clip of Lindsey Graham telling reporters that the JAG officers were coerced...so that is where Kennedy and Durbin probably got it from..

So, basically, Graham is the source of yet another investigation being called for...and an "opportunity" to use this to harm one of Bush's judicial nominees.

You could do it ! ;-) I don't do threads! LOLOLOL!

I shouldn't be one to criticize, because I carry most of my weight around my hips like that. However, I do choose my outfits very carefully - well thought out clothing can hide a multitude of sins. If I can do it on my meager clothing budget, she has absolutely NO excuse for looking this BAD!

It also speaks volumes about her judgement and intellect. If you can't look in the mirror and say, "nope, doesn't work" what does that say about your ability to handle the really big stuff?

In a recent email to constituents, Levin refers to "when the United States attacked Iraq", as if we were guilty of something.
If it were up to the Democrats, Saddam Hussein would still be committing mass murder and torture, would still be providing terrorists with training grounds, and would be supplying terrorists with money and weapons to kill Americans. If it were up to Democrats, the U.S. would have been attacked several more times since 9/11, and hundreds of thousands of American civilians would have died from chemical, biological, and possibly nuclear weapons. The Democrats say the Iraq war is a diversion from fighting the war on terror. I guess they haven't heard that we have killed or captured thousands of terrorists in Iraq. The stupidity of the Democrats is beyond belief.

Warner as well as Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., oppose the legislation because they say barring a defendant from access to evidence — even if done under rare circumstances — would undermine the credibility of the court.

So much for their credibility as representatives of America's interests.

McCain, a potential 2008 presidential candidate, has become a moral authority in Congress on prisoner of war issues. The former Navy pilot spent more than five years in enemy captivity during the Vietnam War and last year successfully pushed through legislation opposed by the president that banned cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of military detainees.

McCain just can't think outside the bamboo cage.

I swear that when I read the headline I thought "Harry Reid wants the terrorists held in Guantanamo to be given *the right to vote*??????"
