53-40 confirmed.
Senate approves, 53-40...
Confirmed...so we have an AG?
What kind of doublespeak is Dickie Durbin trying to pass under the radar???
BUMP!!
Just watched. Congrats to AG Mukasey.
Mazel Tov !
Did you see Bryd get up and almost collapse? Man that guy is getting a bit “long in the tooth”.
Durbin is double-speaking on some crap.
Yeah, “Sheets” Byrd is shaking more than Charo doing the hootchie-cootchie dance! :-O
His nose is running away from him, apparently he’s sick—I have a cure for that: TERM LIMITS.
By this time Kennedy has the flask out, sucked dry, and inhaling he fumes.
Headed for that bottom left drawer in the office desk at breakneck speed.
LOL. Limbaugh will love that one. The parody writes itself.
Now if only one of the GOP senators had the nerve to castigate Kennedy for talking about water and drowning *on the Senate floor.* The place would erupt.
53 votes in favor? Not as many as I expected. Did every Republican support him? With Feinstein, Schumer, Nelson, Landrieu, and Carper that should be at least 54. How about Lieberman? I guess the roll call will be available shortly.
A new plus in W's win-column!!!
You can bet if the Senate had rejected Mukasey by a 40-53 margin, the article would have read, Full Senate Rejects Mukasey Bid for AG.
Lieberman was an aye. I don’t know who the 7 non votes were.
And don’t forget to use the word (incorrectly) BIPARTISAN repeatedly so it sounds like everyone is on the same side on the issues!!!
Man, that gets on my last nerve when San Fran Gran Nan does that! Feh.
**53-40 confirmed.**
Where are the other seven votes? Out campaigning for President? Who was absent?
Campaigning? Probably. Vote totals should be furnished shortly and I’ll try to post.
