OK, what did I miss? Reid and Frist got into some sort of tussle, and

[kestrel91316]

there's a closed session of the Senate? What is happening? Why did it happen? What does it mean?

I've been at work, and not listening to the radio.

Does somebody have a link to a good DU thread synopsis/summary?

Lots of links.

14. Naaaa - we're that just by virtue of still BREATHING!

It goes all downhill from there according to them.

Good night and good luck!

Palm trees, gorgeous seas (well, oceans), mai-tais, moon over the clouds, and temps in the mid-80's.

7. Thanks, everybody!

8. it was about Sen Roberts 2nd Iraq report concerning intelligence

Roberts put it off, put it off, put it off, and Reid had enough of it. This is the report to see if Intelligence on Iraq was intentionally "fixed" to get us into war.

12. Sorry, I have dialup, and my old crappy computer can't cope with video.

[beam me up scottie]

13. Oh, that's too bad.

I wonder if it would be on CSPAN again?

I have no tv and live through my computer.
I download and watch movies and shows with Bit Torrent.
If anything happened to it, I couldn't cope...

Sad, eh?

[kestrel91316]

16. CSPAN won't help, I don't have cable, lol.

10. in essence

Harry swaggered into the Senate with his posse and said "Do you feel lucky, punks? Go ahead, make my day"
Billy Frist wet his pants, got hysterical and sobbed "it's a slap in the face". <whack, whack>

[longship]

15. Then, Harry said to Billy...

"When I slap you, you'll stay slapped."

He then, slapped him again. Then, when a reporter asked Harry why he didn't consult with Billy before he invoked rule 21, Harry cut him off and slapped him, too.

Lots of slapping around the Senate corridors today, most of which was on the part of Harry "Slap 'em til they're Silly" Reid. It was beautiful.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. What did Harry say to the reporter? I missed this entire episode today

and just happened to tune into C-SPAN and caught his speech. Whoa! "What the hell did I miss today??" Had to come here to find out! What did he say to the reporter? THIS IS AWESOME! It's about time the Dems stood up to say enough is enough! :toast: Here's to Harry for a fine, fine speech!:toast:

[longship]

19. During press conference.

Reporter asked Harry why he didn't consult with Majority leader before he invoked rule 21.

Reid jumped right down his throat.

Video at Crooks and Liars.

20. THAT was sweeeeet! Thanks for the link to the video.

:hi:

[Imagevision]

17. Dr. Frist's family had to pay out 1.7 billion fine on Reid, he's just

trying to stay in the limelight -- who else does Bush have? Condi?
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove all look like shit right now.
