1. McConnel up now

10. You'd think with all his money he'd get a chin installed

Chinless whiney bastard. :grr:

[flpoljunkie]

2. Thanks for the heads up, LEW!

[LEW]

4. McConnell making speech

spending whole time attacking Schumer - disgraceful, this is about gonzo and is very very important

[Viva_La_Revolution]

5. Trent Lott up now

says we don't discuss things before voting because "this isn't the british Parliament!"
is insinuating that this is all a waste of time, there is nothing to debate.

has about 4 minutes left

[LEW]

6. link to plot by McConnell

Just disgraceful. Lott just said "how low will this senate go?", well we know how low the repub will go don't we.

7. I love this comment by "Zimzone" on the Think Progress page...

McConnell is a little smartass that talks with a lithp.

Lott, you already got a taste of your own medicine; want some more?

Schumer can take this heat; no problem. But anything to obfuscate, deny or distract,eh?

McConnell is like the Trolls here. Job #1 is to change the subject, deny wrongdoing, get even or just outright lie.

Gonzo is going down, baby!

8. Schumer: "...he urged Att Gen John Ashcroft to sign a statement

on his sick bed....and he is still Attorney General?

[pacalo]

9. Schumer hit a homer when he pointed out that during the 19 minutes

of commentary by the Republican side, there was no mention of support for Gonzo. And I thought the fact that Schumer didn't whine about his having been the focus of those 19 minutes spoke volumes about the difference between Democratic & Republican leadership.

11. Sheldon Whitehouse is good!

"not with this attorney general" !

NOT TRUE!

[trashcanistanista]

12. More Sheldon

It may take a decade to repair the damage that ag gonzales has done!

[pacalo]

14. I love him!

And for those who aren't watching, Whitehouse was comparing how the Justice Department had been run with previous administrations with how it has been mishandled by Gonzo. He made point after point in his comparison.

Now, we're on Harry Reid. (I have to admit I'm most anxious to hear Pat Leahy. :) )

[LEW]

13. really good debate

Schumer certainly did hit is out of the park - Harry Reid up now - Pleassssssseeeeeeeee senators vote for this.

[Gregorian]

15. Reid- There wasn't a Democratic DOJ or a Republican DOJ.

"Now the justice department is just another arm of the Karl Rove (something)..."

Holy crap. He nailed it.

[trashcanistanista]

16. Harry Reid

Excellent points regarding the fight for integration. This is what we have lost. "Now the JD is just another arm of the Karl Rove political machine." Credibilty of JD shredded, morale is low, this can be blamed on two people President and Gonzo. Very strong words.

17. Whoa!
