Kennedy bringing up Liheap

[jillan]

1. Seniors are frightened and scared".

I'm so glad he is bringing it up.

Rather would have the other senator from Mass talking, but I love Kennedy.

[TayTay]

2. I saw.

We should have a Kerry sighting soon, don't you think?

[jillan]

3. reading letters he received from people about not being able

to afford the upcoming heating costs.

I hope we see Kerry! But at the same time, I hope he's resting.
He looks tired, and sounds awful. Is he there today?

[TayTay]

4. He voted a little while ago.

I think he just has a slight cold. But he does look tired. Yesterday was a very busy day.

He can't go home, LIHEAP comes up today.

5. He's got a full plate today -

Check the Democratic Daily - http://blog.thedemocraticdaily.com

I have two more items to post, one is there now - a speech that starts momentarily - http://blog.thedemocraticdaily.com/?p=899

[jillan]

7. are we going to able to watch it anywhere?

[kerrygoddess]

10. I don't think so -

Unfortunately. I should have the text later however.

[jillan]

12. You're wonderful

If I never told you before - thanks for all your info on Kerry:grouphug:

[jillan]

6. Lautenberg up now.

yeah - keep it on the table.
It is the most important thing being discussed today.

[TayTay]

8. So it's the Reed-Collins LIHEAP Amendment now

Guess they have to have a Repub on the Amendment in order to get it passed.

Everyone knows this is Kerry's baby. He is the one who brought it up originally, fought for it, called that press conference on it and has been working to get the sigs. Sigh! Politics.

[jillan]

9. What the f*?

I thought it was the Kerry-delaRosa bill?

Is Kerry being discrimated against? What's going on here???

[Mass]

11. Reed (RI) Collins - Once again, they need to add a Repub to make

this thing pass.

Sad state of our Democracy.

[TayTay]

13. Thanks, I corrected my spelling

Not Harry, but Jack.

Sigh!

[karynnj]

14. i understand why collins, but why reed

[Mass]

15. RI's winters can be cold as well.

Reed was one of the original authors of this bill with Kerry, so it is not as bad as Collins who came after as a co-sponsor.

According to KG's post, the Bill is now the Reed-Collins-Snowe-Kerry-Kennedy-Reid bill. (Guess Kerry is to polite not to let ladies first).

[karynnj]

16. Ok That was super (and needlessly) defensive

[Mass]

18. I did not mean to be defensive

I am mad at Collins being added in the name of the bill and Kerry being dropped. This is sickening.

[karynnj]

19. I'm sorry Mass - I meant I was reacting in a needlessly defensive

way - I hadn't known that Reed was on it before. I'm sorry

[kerrygoddess]

17. I just posted JK press release

[jillan]

20. Anybody know if Kerry is going to be on the floor today?

I have to go out for a few hours, and debating with myself if I should set up the dvr to record. I just hate it when I miss Kerry.

[_dynamicdems]

21. I always seem to miss his speeches.

My timing is very bad: I woke up today and turned on C-Span and the face that greeted me was Dubya's. (I'm a night person so that was before coffee too.) Don't they get it yet that nobody wants to listen to *? I can't listen to * without getting physically ill. It is kinda funny, but he literally makes me sick.

I need a Kerry fix to erase the horrible memory of seeing Dubya so early in my "morning."

[jillan]

22. He makes me sick too

I can't stand to listen to his voice.
Not so much the actual voice, but the way he uses words...puts 2 together, pause...ummm ummm duh duh. And his intonations don't match the words. I get a sick feeling in my stomach from him.

[_dynamicdems]

23. And that...face.

He's starting to look on the outside like what he is on the inside...like Dorian Grey after his portrait was destroyed.

[TayTay]

25. I agree.

Especially when we have such decent looking people right across the political line.

Sigh!

I am going to need a pic thread tomorrow night. This has been an exhausting week. Waiting for Fitzmas is difficult. (And Fitzmas is the one occasion I could actually stand to look at the Fake Texan.)

[jillan]

26. Big Picture thread this weekend.

Hopefully we'll find some new ones with all of the things he has been involved in.

[TayTay]

24. It could be worse.

IT could be a George Allen (Sen. Barfbag) and Sen. Santorum (Sen. Yuck) in a duet on the floor to get football subsidies for Catholic girls who stay home and don't go to college. shudder, shudder, shudder. There are just too many of them that make me shudder.

Of course * is the worst. Hearing him always reminds me I have to take my dog outside to do his business. Wonder why that is. ;-)
