#3 It will be interesting to see if the Donks get the message: a filibuster of Roberts would be a big mistake.

#5 re: WAPO. It's really strange the way the dem dogs have been chained in over the last several days. Without all their senseless yapping - it's so quiet... it's almost creepy.

#8 I personally love the line about chutzpah, but I would add that it really takes gall to stand there and say that the President is overstepping his authority when clearly he is not. I watched Chris Mathews and the Donk on the show could not come up with one fact or specific reason to hold up the vote. He had a lot of innuendo and rumors but couldnât nail down a specific reason for Bolton not to get a vote. The best he could come up with is that Bolton lacked the âtemperamentâ to be the ambassador to the un. Chris pointed out that Kennedy sent Stevenson to the un to deal with the Soviets and we know how his âtemperamentâ was. I think he was the first ambassador to threaten the Soviets in open session. We desperately need someone just like that today. I really hope they spend the next three years whining, it will really help them in the polls.

#9 2b - that's because they are sill in complete shock after their SUGAR DADDY the AFL/CIO shattered over worthless contributions to Dems.

That's the big story. Note how the privately employeed types (Teamsters, Service Workers Int and others split) while the government emply types with secure jobs -you don't outsource teachers and cops- stayed. Expect to see the CIO turn into a bureaucrats union and sole support of the dems.

#10 Hey, Cyber Sarge - wasn't that Adlai Stevenson, from Illinois, a (dare I use the word) Democrat?

#12 Yes Bobby, he was a Democrat when that meant defending your country against dictators. Peace loving Kennedy (Invader of several countries) sent this bulldog to the un and he kicked ass (diplomatically) all over the communists block.

#14 Over at Arianne Huffnpuff she allowed as how Bush was thumbing his nose at the Senate. I replied to her that he wasn't thumbing his nose at the Senate, just the obstructionist Democrats. Someone else corrected me and said it wasn't his nose, but a certain middle finger. Way better than what I said.
