Reid: We’ll defeat Olson

The Hill ^ | 8/13/07 | Elana Schor

[Jean S]

Reid: "Because I can."

[popdonnelly]

What is his objection to Olson? What is wrong with these people, they think they can do anything they want?

Reid should worry about the sorry spectacle the Congress made of itself yesterday.

[Thebaddog]

Can we defund the senate judiciary committee?

[Perdogg]

Just wait til Congress adjourns and make the appointment.

[popdonnelly]

I find it offensive that Reid can attack a fine man and attorney like Olson on the grounds that he’s “too partisan”. Judging from their actions, what are the Democratic members of Congress, besides “too partisan”. Reid’s comment is laughable.

[DoughtyOne]

By the time blowing in the wind Ried wakes up, he'll think he's dealing with Olsen twins.

[jazusamo]

Dingy Harry is incapable of doing anything positive, he’s a worthless little worm.

[vbmoneyspender]

I wonder if Reid has ever uttered the words “We’ll defeat Al Qaeda in Iraq”?

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Recess appoint him. Tell Reid to go pound sand.

[sappy]

Will Harry Reid succeed at anything this year? Only time will tell.

[Argus]

I’d hate to see Ted Olson lower himself so far as to even have to listen to these frauds accuse him of all sorts of crap during their “advise and consent” charade. President Bush should just recess appoint John Bolton to be AG. Watch ‘em howl then.

[wastedyears]

Children act that way. Doesn’t say much for our Congress.

[Alright_on_the_LeftCoast]

screw the dems...leave the office vacant....that would be funny as hell

[Melinda]

They will not be happy until they have destroyed this country, as long as they have kept their power. It is evident by their child-like “We will win the argument at all costs” behavior that their power is more important to them than the people they serve. Behavior like this was never imagined by our founding fathers. Just as with MoveOn.org, they have become “the enemy within”.

Recess Appointment?????

[paul51]

The White House “doesn’t understand these people up here,” Hatch said.

Nor does the rest of the country. ...and vice versa

[keepitreal]

“He’s had a very political background at a time when you want [an attorney general] who puts the rule of law first,” Sen. Charles Schumer (N.Y.), number three in the Democratic caucus, said.

The laughable quote of the day from good old Chucky.

[toddlintown]

Play the 9-11 card. Hell, the dems would.

[Jaysun]

The left has caused a dangerous divide. It wasn’t so many years ago that a decent man like Olson would have no problem being confirmed by Republicans and Democrats alike.

[freekitty]

Reid, go to the back of the room. Sit on the stool, put on dunce cap and shut up.
