Confirmation of Rice postponed until next week!

[fooj]

The Senate has moved for a debate concerning this matter be on the record! Just out on MSNBC!

[cidliz2004]

1. What exactly does that mean?

[KC21304]

5. That enough people realize that all she had to say

was horseshit.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. some arm twisting to follow

Boxer better avoid small planes... and so goes for Kerry

[cidliz2004]

15. Is it even possible that Rice may not be approved with this delay?

Or is it possibly because of the inaguration this week?

Is the delay actually something that can speak to a serious discussion on Rice's credibility and/or qualifications? Can this actually go anywhere? Or is it the media and the political head planners simply blowing smoke up our ass?

[arcane1]

2. verrry interesting...

now I gotta wait a week!

[NYC]

10. Even better,

so does she.

[arcane1]

11. she gets to squirm for a week

I like that idea :evilgrin:

[fooj]

13. Exactly...

I was stunned...just now again on MSNBC they said the vote delay for Rice confirmation coming up next!

[NYC]

20. Please give details if you hear them.

I am listening to WINS radio, but they have said nothing.

[rqstnnlitnmnt]

3. right on!

kick for sen. boxer!!

[yorgatron]

7. i think this means there are serious doubts about her

ability to perform the duties of Secretary of State.

[Skidmore]

17. It means the Rs don't want to embarrass His Highness on the eve

of his coronation. It would shatter the illusion that we all worship him.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

4. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

OK, I think we have some people who can fight and fight cleverly now.

[NYC]

8. Is that definite?

That's good. She should be "unconfirmed" during the inauguration/coronation.

[fooj]

23. Seems to be!

[NYC]

26. That's good news.

:)

[Benhurst]

9. It means the kitten-killer has responded to the threat of a

Democratic filibuster and is postponing the vote before one is initiated tomorrow.

[uppityperson]

12. Great!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[Beaverhausen]

14. But...But...Powell made his little goodbye speech

what will he do now?????????????

[Jacobin]

21. Wouldn't be the first time Colin said something that turned out

to be completely and utterly wrong

[rachelbirds]

16. I think you got them mixed up

Gonzalez's confirmation is postponed until next week. Condi's isn't.

[troubleinwinter]

40. You're wrong, is all.

[Mojambo]

18. Proof that it's not futile to stand up and fight

even when you're in the minority.

A minority with the truth on their side can be stronger than the majority! All you have to do is FIGHT.

It has been a good day.

[fooj]

19. MSNBC just said AGAIN that the vote delay for Rice will be on next!

There is a God!O8) I knew She was a Democrat!!!!!!!:bounce: :bounce:

[rachelbirds]

22. NOT true

you got them mixed up. Gonzalez is next week but Condi's isn't postponed!

[fooj]

24. No-just heard it with my own ears AGAIN...on MSNBC

Gonzales will be next week-yes...but now Condi, too!

[troubleinwinter]

38. Where do you get your information? See #33 & #34

[MsMagnificent]

25. Still time to sign the petition!

[fooj]

28. Yes! Yes! Yes! We've got to get the word out!

Great idea!

[lyonn]

27. Sounds like Boxer gets to tell all of America

her problem (and millions of others) with Rice's lack of original ideas, she has never answered questions, at least truthfully, etc. She has stated in these hearing clearly what is wrong with Rice. Maybe, hopefully, millions of closed minded people will listen and wonder. One can only hope. Otherwise, we are going to be steamrolled by this administration for lack of Dems standing ground as Boxer has, Gawd she is good. Rice is totally a Bush yes man.

[edward3]

29. I think it has to do with the Dirty Bomb scare in Boston now on the news

Just that.

[FrenchieCat]

30. When nothing else works....

try for a little threat to our National Security. Rethuglicans playing the only card they've got....AGAIN.

[fooj]

41. your kidding, right?

[Spazito]

47. Nope, has to do with the dems holding up her 'crowning'

the scare wasn't even on when the news came out on the potential filibuster for tomorrow.

[David Zephyr]

31. Let's face it. The television cameras revealed this woman to be a liar.

Television was not kind to Dr. Condi Rice and her hot temper.

I have a hunch that there's a lot of uncomfortable Republicans right now with this wild card of a nutbag possibly becoming Secretary of State and that they are hearing about it from their folks back home.

Bush may like her, but the American people don't.

And add to that this new LA Times poll showing that support for Bush's war (that's what we all really need to begin calling it every chance we can) is down to an unsupportable 39%.

I watched her appearance on C-SPAN trying to be as objective as possible as to her televised composure. She looked like an uptight, squirming, arrogant liar...which is what she is. It's just that she shouldn't have looked like it.

Senator Boxer cleverly got under Rice's skin and brought the beast in her out for everyone to see.

This is not a stable woman.

[consciousobjector]

35. Should we start a "floaty hearts" thread for Barbara Boxer?

Thank you again Barbara, for being a true patriot and standing firm for TRUTH!
:bounce: :loveya: :loveya: :pals: O8) :bounce: :bounce: :toast: :loveya: :party:

[JohnOneillsMemory]

46. Yup. Condi sounded like Dan Quayle with a bigger vocabulary. Bad show.

And she is supposed to be the Chief Apologist for the Empire??

She keeps the bad voodoo of torture AND 9/11 upfront.

Her skin color doesn't make her the next Colin Powell (human credential for Nazis) AND she has worse baggage than frikkin' Bernie Kerik.

I'd think the neo-con propaganda campaign wouldn't want to stir up their own stink with a target like Kinda-sleezy Rice.

Boxer's and Kerry's fits of courage might be signs of the liberal insurgency here at home making Condi the Achmed Chalabi of the White House, a flak-catcher to dump in a pinch.

[Skidmore]

32. Did anyone else notice how subdued the Reps on the committee

at Condi's hearing were? They just sat back and were collegial. I kept thinking Coleman would suddenly jump up and start frothing at the mouth. Instead, there seemed to be a great deal of assent and no dissent from them when the Dems were whaling away on Condi. It has occurred to me that if the Boxer Rebellion is allowed to be successful by the Reps., then maybe those among them who don't support *'s foreign policy gain and it allows them to turn their full attention to the domestic agenda which they so much want to focus on.

36. This info also appeared on the Yahoo news just now,

with the added info in the article that Kerry and Boxer were the two dissenting votes on the Foreign Relations commitee not to confirm.

GO DEMS!!! Get some Calcium to fortify that spine you look like you are growing!!!

JD

[fooj]

37. Woo Hoo!!!

:kick: :kick: :kick:

[fooj]

39. MsMagnificent is right! We need to get MORE signatures on petition!

Lets get the word out!!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

42. They must have just dug up some major shit

in order to get the Repugs to agree to postpone. Something's up.

[fooj]

44. I agree...somebody is crapping all over themselves...

Or maybe her seemingly aloof attitude (when she wasn't pissed off) managed to stop the process dead in its tracks! Too many contradictions!! Uh oh! Hubby will be very angry about this...:toast:

[mvd]

43. Good news!

Could it be the start of a filibuster? Rice has not earned confirmation!

[La Femme]

45. Are there anymore details available? n/t
