omg - are you watching?!!!

[jillan]

Specter just asked for the vote!

Kerry - get on the phone!

[whometense]

1. Trying to sneak it through

by surprise???

[whometense]

2. 5:30 Monday n/t

[jillan]

3. thank you Reid.

whew - that was scary!

Will Kerry be back by then?

[jillan]

5. Did you hear Reid?

Ha - he is doing this for Kerry!
Getting yelled at by Specter.

[whometense]

6. He certainly will not miss this.

Specter is pissed. Was that a swipe at JK? "More senators overseas than in the chamber..."

"We debate or vote."

Sounds to me like they are getting a bit edgy over this filibuster threat.

[jillan]

8. this is getting ugly

he really went after Reid.
Arsehole!

[whometense]

11. doesn't he have the nickname

Snarlin' Arlen? Or did I just make that up?? :D

[jillan]

12. perfecto! nt

[jenndar]

14. There are actually a couple Senators

speaking in Switzerland, so it probably was not directed at JK.

[jillan]

15. who else is there?

I heard Reid say there were others, but if Kerry is working on this, maybe Reid was holding the vote for Kerry's help. Reid did look like crap. He is probably stressed to the limit. Sorry Reid, job hazard.

[jenndar]

16. Can't find a complete list, but I know Smith and Dodd are

apparently part of a bipartisan group of 8 or so.

[saracat]

4. WTF is tha matter with Reid and Durbin? Where are they?

Why aren't they leading this charge?

[jillan]

7. Hey Saracat - I emailed and called Reid's office, asking

him to be the LEADER.

[saracat]

9. Me too!

[jillan]

10. Reid didn't look so good just then on the floor

He must be under alot of pressure. hmmmmm mmmm mmm.

[jillan]

13. I hope and pray Kerry get to see that back and forth between

Reid and Snarlin' Arlen.

My blood is boiling.
