CSPAN, et al. | July 24, 2002

Recovering_Democrat suggested a live thread for the "song and dance" about to take place up on the Hill, so here it is!

If you see/hear it, post it.

I'm slamming stuff in the microwave as I type......LOL.

[NeoCaveman]

IT'S DRIVING ME MENTAL!

He's just being......Traficant

[Timesink]

Ick. I've had C-SPAN on for just 15 minutes, and I've gotten a constant stream of Jerry "Nads" Nadler and Sheila Jackson Lee lecturing us on why partial-birth abortion is a WONDERFUL idea! At this rate, I don't know if I'll make it to 6:00.

I'll grant Sheila some credit, though: She's speaking as a rational, even intelligent, human being.

[Howlin]

Over here!

[Howlin]

Because Ms. Sanchez rammed through a resolution that the vote be taken in 48 hours!

[Chemist_Geek]

I heard that they were going to give him 30 minutes but he wanted eight hours. It could be the most entertaining 30 minutes of the year. If he goes whole hog knowing that his fellow hypocrites are going to expel him it could be wild.

Videotapes. We need videotapes of this Entertainment for sale.

He basically took over her show and made it INTERESTING for a change.

That's an achievement in and of itself.

He's on Hannity and Colmes tonight.

[Howlin]

OMG.......AOL says they are a target of SEC probe, according to Fox!!!

[Silly]

She's (Sheila Jackson-Lee) speaking as a rational, even intelligent, human being.

See - I told you in the other thread - it's because pigs flew this week!

You must be joking.

[NeoCaveman]

LMAO!!

Here's a fun little link about Traficant.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Guess what? A SECOND juror is speaking out about the case. Shouldn't congress hear both of these jurors before casting this vote? Doesn't that make sense?

If Shela Lee is saying intelligible, she is reading what someone else wrote. She is a complete idiot.

[NeoCaveman]

A second? No wonder LaTourette wants to put this on hold.

[Catspaw]

Freepers, how about a little less focus on Traficant and a little more focus on what the Judiciary committee is doing again to a Bush appointee for the 5th Circuit??

Um, because this is the LIVE THREAD--TRAFICANT EXPULSION VOTE thread?

[Dog]

What???

[Silly]

That hair is outrageous. Love the crown of thorns!
