Live stream from C-SPAN

Comments and discussion of the live coverage of the continuing Estrada filibuster.

[Ramtek57]

In a nut shell, what is going on?

[RobFromGa]

Ole Crusty is the outfit PIPS wears sometimes.

[Cboldt]

Hatch is really fighting fire with fire. It seems the veil of collegiality has a hole or two in it.

[Mo1]

they are trying to get funds to pay for health care and other expenses that have occured from 9/11

Thing is .. it was her party that didn't pass a budget or many Bills

[bvw]

What state is that?

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Ole crusty" is a nick name we have applied to the black pant suit that she always wears.

[Carolinamom]

Hatch up...really enjoyed her remarks BUT off the Estrada matter. "Dems weren't even willing to do a budget last year; we repubs DID. It's easy to criticize but you better have better standing to do so. I'm prepared to close down the senate until March 4."

[VRWC_minion]

Hatch has had it. This is personal for him now.

[EllaMinnow]

Or "pretty in Pepto."

Which we all need a big dose of after listening to her.

[Otta B Sleepin]

I'm embarrassed to ask this, but...what is OLE CRUSTY?

The infamous black pantsuit that HRC won't leave home without.

[justshe]

I would have switched but I had worn out my remote by that time. Besides.....I was receiving CPR at the moment! (wink)

[Cate]

ah, I am relieved that she has a more noble reason to blather on than what I was giving her credit for.

[spokeshave]

Ole crusty" is a nick name we have applied to the black pant suit that she always wears.

Correction ....the ONLY pant suit she wears....

[Not A Snowbird]

Which constituent did she speak to? Bill?

[maica]

The battle on both sides has nothing to do with Estrada. This is battle over who is running the senate. Estrada is the lightening rod.

There is a lot of truth here! The Dems cannot believe that they are called the Minority for a reason.

[NeoCaveman]

Adjourning? When is this going 24/7?

[GOPrincess]

Looks like they're setting more debate for Tuesday...is going to "morning business" the end of Estrada for today?

Argh.

[Sacajaweau]

Hillary is looking for bucks as usual. Of course, most of them wind up in NYC and everyone else (like us) is left to fend for ourselves.

No amount of money will be enough for her.

[Mo1]
