[ConservativeMan55]

Foxnews now reporting that Kennedy's request has been DENIED.

Biden put on a Princeton baseball cap. Why do dems do stupid things like putting on caps, helmets and bunnysuits?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Brit Hume now talking about doceuments regarding CAP--which were published in the NYT!

Chris Wallace is pointing out how little "there" there is with all the stuff the Dems keep bringing up. All this dust-up over CAP, in other words--means nothing.

[Peach]

The blogs have been doing a fantastic job on this..

[milagro]

WOW--THANKS!

[conservativebabe]

WooHoo! Watch the sparks fly. I hope Spectre makes him look like an idiot.

[Pyro7480]

But... but... what about those of us who aren't from northern Delaware? Are we to be left out in the cold, uninformed, ignorant, bewildered, confused, troubled and perplexed?

LOL! Claymont is just south of the Pennsylvania/Delaware border. The best way to describe it is a "wasteland." It has some residential parts, but largely, there's nothing but heavy industy (steel mill, oil refinery) there.

Care to add anything else Gabz?

hehehe...I'm retired from PO,too. Lousy place to work but Fed bennies are nice. Imagine...PO had 2 years to get ready for postal increase yet; no post office has 2 cent stamps. That says it all.

Stalking Specter
[Kathryn Jean Lopez  01/11 02:05 PM]

Everyone watching the hearings on TV or in person could see Arlen Specter being approached (and seemingly not at all happy about it) as soon as he got up from his seat for lunch. That man was a Kennedy staffer, James Flug, who Bob Novak wrote about here in August — about the Kennedy-Flug campaign against Bill Pryor among others.

Rusher's Papers
[Kathryn Jean Lopez  01/11 01:45 PM]

David Kirkpatrick wrote about them in November in the NYTimes (November 27, 2005, "From Alito's Past, a Window On Conservatives at Princeton") and concluded: "Those records and others at Mudd Library at Princeton give no indication that Judge Alito, who sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, was among the group's major donors. He was not an active leader of the group, and two of his classmates who were involved and Mr. Rusher said they did not remember his playing a role."

Re: Rusher Records on CAP
[Ed Whelan  01/11 01:44 PM]

David Kirkpatrick's November 27, 2005, article in the New York Times makes clear that he was given access to the Rusher records. The fact that he found nothing in them about Alito ought to put an end to this silliness. Or does Kennedy want to subpoena David Kirkpatrick?

Rusher Records on CAP
[Ed Whelan  01/11 01:39 PM]

I'm very reliably informed that William Rusher made all of his CAP records at the Library of Congress available to the New York Times weeks ago. So much for Kennedy's Last Stand.

[VRWCmember]

Alito should say to Joe, "I like the song 'I Want To Talk About Me', but Toby Keith does a much better rendition than yours."

[Carolinamom]

Biden is still in his Show and Tell childhood phase.

[Peach]

I hope that's true about Kennedy's request. And besides, since when does an article have to be subpoened.

[EQAndyBuzz]

"The New York Times acquired the Rusher papers...and in them there is NO reference at all to Alito- no one can remember him having ANYthing to do with the organization.."

I been in and out all day. Are you telling me that Kennedy asked Spector for a delay so they can subpeona papers from the Library of Congress about Alito and CAP that the NY Slimes already published?

And they wonder why they are the minority party.

[conservativebabe]

Sure have.

[Howlin]

"It is hard to fathom Mr. Flug coming back to Capitol Hill after 30 years of private practice for anything other than a bitterly tough confirmation fight," says the memo, signed by three prominent Roberts backers. That argument is based on Flug's 38-year intermittent history as Teddy Kennedy's gunslinger.
