“Instead, what we are doing is simply using deliberate and delaying tactics, such as a long, pointless speeches, in an attempt to interfere or obstruct with the business of the Senate.
“Just so we’re clear.”*

update: “By the way, have we told you how much we love the troops? Because we really do. Love the troops.”

update 2: poltical teen has the video. Which is fine. But what I want to know is, WHERE IS JOHN MCCAIN?
WE NEED YOU, MAVERICK! WE NEED YOU LIKE THE FLOWER NEEDS THE RAIN!
Whewww.. I thought for a moment you were going to say they reneged on their agreement with the Mod Republicans.
Well, of course they cant use a filibuster.. They promised they’d only use that in “extraordinary circumstances”
Wait until Bush responds with a recess appointment, which would put Bolton in until 2006.
And Bush is just the guy to dick slap the Dems for being such two-faced connivers.
WHERE IS JOHN MCCAIN WHEN WE NEED HIM?
SAVE US MAVERICK JOHN! SAVE US!
Hmmm.
You know. I’m laughing so hard right now I almost don’t care anymore.
If it’s not a filibuster, then what name can we come up for it?
A Chilibuster? After that nonsense graphic?
Yeah cause we gots to SAVE the senate dontchaknow?
spam: written. The truth is written on bathroom walls.
I don’t know who I hate more right now: the Democrats or the Republicans. I mean, there’s so much hate to go around.
I hope Bush is hung like Milton Berle…..
We love the troops, we just think they’re a bunch of lying brainwashed prisoner-abusing, civilian-shooting, journalist-targeting, Iraqi-oppressing murderers.
Because it’s all about the love. Can’t you feel our love?

I think I know how to solve this—Judge Bolton, anybody?
The Dems are stepping on their junk with this one. The voters aren’t down with torpedoing a guy because he might make a mean face at Kofi Annan.
Bolton will get through—it will just take a couple of more days. We’ll get Wilford Brimley v 2.0 soon enough.
As long as none of us drank any Pepsi products today, everything will be all right.
Maverick. Top Gun. Need I say more?
Curious Jeff, will we see Top Gun in the ‘80’s movie list. MTV meets Hoolywood genre, perhaps.
Is “Hoolywood” a studio system that produces movies for British football supporters?
Damn Guinness….
That’s okay, rsm. After all, that’s probably an excuse that the hooligans use fairly often as well.
*Looks at Sean M and then looks at the Pepsi Lime next to him*…
Boy, you got to love my clever camoflauge. I’m trying to draw Al Qaeda’s fire. Pretty clever, huh?
I’ll second Red State Moron: there’s a GREAT extended conceit just BEGGING to be done on that scene where Cruise panics in actual combat. If you don’t want it, just give to Iowahawk—we won’t tell…
hey, i thought the agreement was only about JUDICIAL nominees. bolton is sooooo not in that category.
Sorry, Blackjack. If you’re thinking of drinking that Pepsi Lime, then THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON!!!
And while I know that our Democrat Senators “support out troops,” we all know that they’re secretly Diet Pepsi drinkers, now don’t we?
As a CITIZEN JOURNALIST, I demand a bottle of Stewart’s Key Lime Soda!
You’ll be hearing from our Law Firm unless you Cease and Desist, quiggs.
Oh, you may think it sounds funny… but the commercial always cut off before you heard what exactly Wilford Brimley would do if you did not, in fact, eat your oatmeal.
Let’s just say the phrase “gouging out your eyes and skullf*cking you” is just the first course of that mustachioed Torquemada’s plans for oatmeal heretics.
Yeah.. Dont fuck with Brimley.. You cant Torq ‘em outta anything… Hahaha
Tomas de Torquemada is not mentioned on this blog nearly enough IMHO… I’m just sayin’.
Dig this headline in the British Economist magazine:
Yeah! And Cardinal Ximenez, too!
I want my comfy chair…and PIE!
Gosh, the democrats kept their word all of what? 2 days? What a joke it is to compromise with these guys.
Jeff, I think you are right about the recess appointment, which I think is perfect.
Speaking of filibusters, anyone see the new Gallup poll that shows what a bunch of idiots Americans (esp. Democrats) are and why polls are silly and borderline-useless? It also says that over 2/3 of Americans want an up-or-down vote on judges.
The poll, taken by a sample containing 51% Dem leaners and 40% GOP leaners, says that 69% of people think there should be an up-or-down vote on the judges. But when asked what party is correct on the issue, they say the Democrats are, by a 48% to 40% margin.
Sounds like there’s a healthy chunk of grossly misinformed Democrats out there.
And this is surprising to you????
grossly misinformed Democrats
MacB, was your spam word “redundant” by any chance?
