Frist has to speak too - it'll be a little while. I know - the suspense is killing me too. :hi:

[Plaid Adder]

9. Good! Ramble on, Senator Specter!

Support the filibuster through your own love of the sound of your own voice!

The Plaid Adder

[madokie]

10. You mean we gotta listen to the cat killer

[Plaid Adder]

14. Shhh! If Frist wants to speak, LET HIM SPEAK!

Maybe someone could produce some more videos of Terri Schiavo for his on-the-spot diagnosis? That could go on for hours.

[Chiyo-chichi]

I ran to the store, and got back too soon. Specter is running his mouth....

[Nutmegger]

8. I can't breathe!!!

Should be shortly...

[saltpoint]

13. Not yet. There's been a slight delay. Wait.... what's this? Oh my god!

Alito has announced that he is stepping aside to clear the way for Harriet Miers, who never got her up and down vote in the Senate!

This is really something.

[Plaid Adder]

18. Don't play with me! n/t

[saltpoint]

27. Sorry. I'm taking SERIOUS doses of hallucinogenic compounds to get

through this damend vote.

[madokie]

19. be nice Old Crusoe

[saltpoint]

28. I TRY to be nice, madokie, but Karl Rove keeps doing things that

make all my personalities ANGRY.

(Nice to bump into you on DU)

[madokie]

34. That was a favorite phrase the vietnameze used to say to us G I'

I hope we finish our lives having discussions here many many years down the road

[Radio_Lady]

22. LOL, Old Crusoe. We need a light moment!

[saltpoint]

30. Hi, Radio_Lady. I wish I could contribute something more substantice, tho

== like a plot of land with a DEEP hole and an hour's rental on a large earth-mover.

A certain two or three Surpreme Court judges belong in that hole and with any luck, there'll be room for one current nominee as well.

I'd like to give something back to the community.

[More Than A Feeling]

25. and Ted Kennedy has bodyslammed Ted Stevens!

Oh, the humanity!:D

[saltpoint]

33. I watched Teddy's face on C-Span a moment ago and he really did

look like he was in the rage of his life. If I were Ted Stevens, I'd change trousers and hide under my desk immediately.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. 10 minutes from now...Frist just said so. :( n/t

[Sydnie]

16. Another 10 minutes or so, says Frist n/t

[bettyellen]

17. frist just said ten minutes or so 4:38- 40 ish

[Cooley Hurd]

20. A ten minute delay called by Frist ("leader time")

x(

[IndyOp]

21. Not yet - Frist is up...

They have, so far, 57 votes 'pledged' to vote yes for Alito. If all of those yeses show up to vote to end debate, then they are still 3 votes short...

:shrug: :scared: :shrug: :scared: :shrug: :scared:

[Radio_Lady]

26. Unbelievabl what Frist is talking about... He took over from Lott

who was weighed down by a racist statement.

I can't believe he's carrying on about cloture and what the previous congressional delegates...

Give me a break!

[EFerrari]

23. Frist looks like hell.

:evilgrin:

[madokie]

24. kinda looks like the cats are keeping him up late at night

[Radio_Lady]

29. I want him GONE -- GONE -- GONE as soon as possible.

Here we go again with the UP or DOWN vote shit..................

[madokie]

31. talk about getting on my nerves, this pos can sure do it.

[AndyTiedye]

37. ME OOOOOOOOOOOOOO WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!

You goin' down, Catkiller!

[hvn_nbr_2]

38. Ghosts of the cats of Fristoweens past haunting his dreams.

Soon they'll be haunting his waking thoughts and he'll be hearing their tell-tale hearts beating from beneath the floor boards.

"I felt that I must scream or die! and now --again! --hark! louder! louder! louder! louder!
"'Villains!' I shrieked, 'dissemble no more! I admit the deed! --tear up the planks! here, here! --It is the beating of his hideous heart!'"

Let the evil bloodsucker get his just desserts.

[uppityperson]

32. You know what Fristy, there had NEVER been an administration like this

fuck him. I'm reverting to simplistic insults to be more easily understood by them people.

[JackORoses]

35. it's on

[Chiyo-chichi]

36. Here we go...

hang on to your wigs & keys.
