[SeattleGirl]

1. Have the vote on the policy.

Amen, Senator.

[althecat]

2. hi... snap I wanted to be first

:mad:

[goodgd_yall]

3. Thanks for taking over n/t

[some guy]

4. Do the transcriptionists get relief?

How many of them are there? I know most of the Senators have gone off to nap; do they give any consideration to the people who have to stay up all night to provide the records of what happens. Camera people too.

edit: typo

[SeattleGirl]

8. Hopefully, there are people available to take the places of

those who are filming, etc.

But, given that the soldiers don't get such a break, maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea. Just sayin'.

[some guy]

29. True.

But that only means all 100 Senators should also be staying there too. It doesn't look like they are though.

[SeattleGirl]

5. The American people want to bring our sons and daughters home.

You got that right! Bring them home NOW!

[cui bono]

6. Nice! She just said the president's policy in Iraq is not broken...

the war was a mistake to begin with. (paraphrasing)

[Gelliebeans]

7. are the mods locking

the old threads automatically?

[SeattleGirl]

11. I don't know, but I did just PM them and asked that they lock #12.

[Gelliebeans]

19. I'll help out for a little while

if you need it. :)

[SeattleGirl]

21. Thank you. I'm okay for now, but I'm fading.

[goodgd_yall]

9. Enough IS Enough! n/t

[fizzgig]

10. enough is enough

yes indeed

[SeattleGirl]

Amen!

[MrMickeysMom]

12. Lucky 13!

Thanks, SeattleGirl.

I'm fading myself, but keep hanging on... you've got a few hours more of perkiness!

[SeattleGirl]

14. I hope so. I'm fading tonight, which is unusual for me.

I'm often good to go until 2:00 am!

[cui bono]

13. Someone should put a "sign" up on that easel showing the poll numbers

on the war and the president.

[SeattleGirl]

16. What a GREAT idea, cui!

:thumbsup:

[cui bono]

20. Thanks Sea!

:)

[Alexander]

22. You should contact Senators with that idea!

kick

[cui bono]

37. If it goes long enough I will. No one is answering their phones now.

I know this because I tried Reid earlier and then I called Thune to tell him to enlist in the military since he wants it bigger and that I look forward to his press conference tomorrow when he announces that he's resigning from the senate to join the military. No one answered there either so I left a message. :)

[Tatiana]

15. Closed with the same words she used in October 2002.

Now is the time to work together and get it RIGHT!

[MrMickeysMom]

17. Augh, Sessions!

Jesus, what a creep...

[Alamom]

24. You are too kind. There are no words to describe this "person".nt

[cui bono]

18. Oh lord... Sessions...

[Tatiana]

23. I wonder if Flynt has anything on Sessions.

What an idiot.

[MrMickeysMom]

26. If so, he's coming out with it soon. I'm willing to be that he's viewing this...

and deciding who's next, based on how deep they're in it in this debate.

Makes me want to buy a Hustler magazine just to say, "thanks!"

[Gelliebeans]

27. He's just gross huh?

[MrMickeysMom]

31. "Those wonderful military personnel"

He's been able to learn everything he'd like in Iraq.

What a fuckin insult from this ass.

[Alamom]

28. Doubtful..... Braindead in every way. nt

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

35. Jeff Sesesh would look stunning in a diaper, I think

and with a baby rattle in one hand and a pacifier in his mouth. A great look!

[Tatiana]

41. He looks like the type that would love to be... dominated. LOL. n/t

[SeattleGirl]

25. Ah, shit. No one is afraid to stand up to the President. Yeah, right.

Pretty much ALL the Pukes are quivering in their tighty whitey's about Bush.

[goodgd_yall]

30. Snooze........

[fizzgig]

32. that's right sessions, it is YOUR responsibility

now take responsibility and do the right thing

[Bluebear]

33. I'm hearing Dueling Banjos already.

[Gelliebeans]

42. dueling banjos...da da da da da da da da

:rofl:

Reminds me of a Father Ted (BBC) episode everytime I see it I burst out laughing

[goodgd_yall]

65. Oh, I like Father Ted!

[SeattleGirl]

75. Der der DER der der der der der DER!

Dueling Banjo's with a southern accent.

[Ghost in the Machine]

133. separated at birth?

[rodeodance]

34. i turned the volume down---MUTE for Sessions (i can not stand his voice much

less what he says!!

[MrMickeysMom]

46. The past 6 years has done much to give a bad name to southerners

His accent has that white, devil slave master IQ matching his shoe size quality to it.

[Gelliebeans]

36. Contrary to what Sessions believes

we can most definitely, "Blame it on the Prez"

Damn I just bit my lip (AAAH blood)

[SeattleGirl]

40. Stay away from Cheney. I hear he loves to drink the blood of others.

:scared:

[Gelliebeans]

44. Ye I know

but I had garlic bread with dinner so hopefully that will protect me. :scared:

[SeattleGirl]

62. Extra strength, I hope!

[AndyTiedye]

132. When Cheney is Finally Brought to Justice, Special Measures May be Required

[Ediacara]

38. What? Iraq has never had a functioning government?

I guess Ur was chaos...

[goodgd_yall]

39. Oh-oh, he's getting mad.

[Tatiana]

43. All the things Sessions is saying would happen if we withdrew from Iraq

seem like they they're already happening now. So what's the point in staying?

We already have mass civilian casualties.

We already have mass chaos.

We already have sectarian violence.

[goodgd_yall]

47. Yup n/t

[radfringe]

86. don't forget the Terrorists

aren't sitting around waiting to follow us home -- they came on ahead according to the latest booga-booga report

[goodgd_yall]

45. It's time for your moon pie, Senator n/t

[Gelliebeans]

49. lol

I'm hungry now.

[SeattleGirl]

50. Coule you melt it a bit first before slinging it at him?

It would be so much more fun to see melted chocolate and marshmellow all over his yapper!

[aaronbees]

58. Ack, that sounds good!

Sessions starting to warble now. Please let this session end!

[SeattleGirl]

48. You know, I am so fucking SICK of the Pukes putting party over country.

I really am.

Just absolutely sick of it.

In the end, I don't care if someone is a Dem or a Repuke.

What I do care about is whether or not they care about the issues important to We The People.

At this point in time, it is definitely the Dems who care far more about us, about our troops, about our country.

For those Citizen Repukes who claim they care about the troops, who claim they "love" the country, WTF is the matter with them?????

[Tatiana]

57. It's crystal clear that they do not believe in "we the people."

The disconnect and the absolute disdain members of the Republican party have for ordinary American citizens is staggering.

They truly don't give a damn about you or me. They care about Halliburton and GE and Chevron and ExxonMobil. People, especially in the southern states really need to wake the hell up and stop voting for these Republicans.

[Gelliebeans]

60. You know I feel the same way

but my thing is that the deception and outright fricken lies that are spewed everyday. Up is down and down is up.

I hate that more than anything. These people wouldn't know the truth if someone hit them over the head with a dirty diaper.

[piesRsquare]

51. This guy from Alabama is babbling!

And man, he's tired...slurred speech galore!

[SeattleGirl]

54. Stabinow was also having a hard time speaking.

I love the Dems, but I have to say, I hope this gives ALL of the Senators a tiny taste of what our military goes through every day.

[goodgd_yall]

52. Okay, this guy is too boring and stupid. I'm goin' to bed. n/t

[Gelliebeans]

64. Goodnight goodgd_yall

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

53. Is all of the violence in Iraq due to Al Qaeda?

I thought it was something like 5% according to our Generals. Sessions is making it sound like this entire civil war is being fought by the U.S. against Al Qaeda and that we can't hand Al Qaeda a "victory" by leaving.

[SeattleGirl]

55. Al Qaeda is now a catch-all phrase.

[MrMickeysMom]

56. Well, this did it for me, everybody, gotta say, g'nite, g'morning to you now!

This has been the most educational experience and I personally think every student (high school and UP) show learn civics here!

[goodgd_yall]

59. Sessions is clearing the room. Nite-nite.

[SeattleGirl]

61. Good night, MrMickeysMom.

And I agree with you. It's too bad that so many schools don't teach civics any more.

[Gelliebeans]

63. Goodnight MrMickeysMom

[RadiDem]

66. AHOY DU'ers! Just got in and turned it on. Is Jeff Sessions a little drunk?

[SeattleGirl]

69. Well, in truth, they are all starting to sound that way.

Tiredness, I think.

Though who knows? Maybe some of them are nipping at the bottle before speaking.

[Gelliebeans]

70. Hiya RadiDem

He has been rambling. I honestly couldn't tell ya what he has said. It is mechanism I have tuning out repukes. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

67. A failure of will by the congress? Shut the fuck up, asshat!

[kevinmc]

68. Was almost asleep …

Then I heard Sessions speaking …. Now I can't get that song from the movie"Deliverance" out of my head ….. everytime I hear Sessions …."Dueling Banjo's" starts playing in my head.

[Gelliebeans]

74. Did you see the post up thread?

LOL.

[kevinmc]

98. No I didn't ,,,,,,,

but I just looked ... :) .... I am on dial up and it takes forever for these long threads to load. Glad to see I am not the only one he effects that way.

[SeattleGirl]

71. Ah shit!!! Grandpa McCain is speaking AGAIN!

:puke:

[Tatiana]

72. Did I just hear Sessions say he didn't believe Bush lied us into this war?

WTF?

Does he know where the WMDs are?

[Bluebear]

73. McCain again?!?!?!?! What does he do, keep wandering back to the podium?

[SeattleGirl]

77. Who knows?

Just makes me roll my eyes.

[cui bono]

80. He doesn't remember where he is. He thinks this is his next campaign stop.

[Bluebear]

88. Nobody is giving him money here, either. nt

[RadiDem]

81. 'Baghdad' John McCain loves the Shops and Bazaars of ole Baghdad

[SeattleGirl]

83. And he really loves the bargain he got on the rugs!

[radfringe]

103. I figured out why we invaded Iraq - it's not about the oil

it's about the RUGS... the bushies/republics need more rugs, they knew they would be short on rugs, and there's still plenty of dirt that need to swept

[radfringe]

104. I figured out why we invaded Iraq - it's not about the oil

it's about the RUGS... the bushies/republics need more rugs, they knew they would be short on rugs, and there's still plenty of dirt that need to swept

[Gelliebeans]

76. WHY IS MCCAIN BACK?

go to bed old man!

[cui bono]

78. Oh man... McCain found the geritol.

Damn. :(

[SeattleGirl]

79. LOL! Must be extra strength!

[cui bono]

82. OMFG!!! WHAT WAS THAT??? Did he just mumble for someone to take over?

Oh... he asked them to bring over the map. Phew.

[Gelliebeans]

84. He doesn't even

know where the camera is????

[Lasher]

85. Hahahaha! Just tuned in. Quite a treat for the late night/early AM folks

McCain looks a little tired.

[SeattleGirl]

89. Hey, Lasher. Welcome to the party.

Been interesting, that's for sure.

[Gelliebeans]

95. Welcome Lasher

:hi:

[Tatiana]

87. Watch out... McCain has a map! And he's using it!

To give us a geography lesson....

:boring:

[Bluebear]

90. Why is it a map of Uruguay?

Just kidding.

[cui bono]

92. He was planning the Republicans escape from DC.

He thought that was where Bush's property was.

[SeattleGirl]

93. LOL!

[SeattleGirl]

91. Step away from the map!

:rofl:

[Tatiana]

94. "Al Qaeda has been so cruel..."

McCain's mental faculties are on another planet.

[SeattleGirl]

97. Whaaaat?

Oy.

[Tatiana]

106. He yielded to Sessions for a question. Sessions had asked why there was such difficulties in a

particular area and McCain prefaced his answer by saying "In part, because... Al Qaeda is so cruel."

[SeattleGirl]

109. ......

:eyes:

[cui bono]

96. Now I understand how people get such high post counts! n/t

[Lasher]

99. "You have to get over there and get your feet on the ground."

So I'm not qualified to have an opinion if I haven't personally been on a McCain shopping spree, is that what he said? Wouldn't it be a little more efficient to read a newspaper?

[Bluebear]

100. If he lapsed into a reading of poetry, i would not be shocked.

"I think that I shall never see/ A poem lovely as a tree"

He is acting loony.

[SeattleGirl]

101. Better yet, a recitation of limericks!

[cui bono]

102. Now I know where McCain went...

he was handing out scripts to the other pug senators. Could their questions sound any more staged? Sheesh.

[Bluebear]

105. Norm Coleman is his straight man, I see. "May I ask the Senator a question?"

Asshat tool.

[SeattleGirl]

108. Actually, I think they already had their scripts. That's probably why

they were MIA at the beginning of the marathon. Had to go pick up the scripts and the copies of the Irag Study Group Report.

[cui bono]

107. Whoo-hoo! 4am in DC! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[SeattleGirl]

112. Hope they have plenty of NoDoze on hand!

Not to mention, lots of diapers for Vitter!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

110. The name Al Qaeda is really getting a work out

Everything is Al Qaeda. Nothing is about civil war and insurgents.

[cui bono]

113. Who is this Al guy anyway? n/t

[SeattleGirl]

115. Certainly not Franken or Gore.

[Tatiana]

111. Why are we bothering with Petraeus? McCain is obviously the Middle Eastern expert on military

strategy.

Why don't we just put McCain in charge and ship him over to Iraq?

[SeattleGirl]

117. Don't you mean, stratergery????

[Lasher]

118. We keep shipping him over but he always manages to find his way back.

I think last time it was a rug shopping errand.

[Swamp Rat]

114. Why don't you go spend the night in South East Baghdad, McCain!

[Gelliebeans]

116. here here

[Swamp Rat]

120. It's the OIL stupid!!

[Tatiana]

119. McCain is totally NUTTERS!

The only strategy the Rethugs have is "stay the course." Which the American public is sick and tired of.

[SeattleGirl]

123. You got that right, Tatiana!

Most of us are freakin' SICK of that argument!

[Swamp Rat]

125. It's Al-Qaeda, it's Iran, it's religious leaders, it's the neighbors!!!

:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Tatiana]

128. They just can't seem to make up their minds, can they?

I guess it all depends on who they want to invade at the moment.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

131. Yes, the Iraqis love us for occupying their country and would be throwing flowers at our troops

and candies except for the fact that they're afraid of those Al Qaeda, Iranians, Hezbollah, Syrians, etc. The Iraquis would never object to being occupied, would they?

[cboy4]

121. Geez, how does McCain afford all of these fancy charts with

fifty dollars in the bank. (or whatever he has.)

Boy is he delusional in his assessment.

[Gelliebeans]

122. Shall we start #14 SeattleGirl?

for those on dial-up

[SeattleGirl]

126. I was just thinking the same thing. I'l take care of it.

[Gelliebeans]

127. Thanks ever so much

[Tatiana]

124. Ahhhhhhhh, this is all due to IRANIAN influence, according to Saint McCain.

Throwing in Hezbollah in for good measure.

[SeattleGirl]
