Then he looked like he was pouting... :eyes:

[Ilsa]

76. I can barely stand to see him, he makes me so mad.

I appreciate you telling how he looks. I hope he ends up looking like he's got hemorrhoids and has a three hour service to sit through. Wonder if he'd pass Condi a note?

[Surya Gayatri]

82. His monkey face is just to the left of Maya on c-span 2

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh!

[Quiet_Dem_Mom]

67. Gag, Tweety is nearly calling * a hero for sitting there and taking

his lumps from Rev. Lowery like a big boy.

[malaise]

72. Why doesn't he just shut the

fugg up.

[bliss_eternal]

74. Ugh--please no reports of them--

I don't even want to think about what those losers must be saying. :puke:

But I understand your need to vent... :hug:

[BlacknBlue in Red NC]

75. Lowery spoke truth to power. There needs to be more of it.

[Sydnie]

78. Switch to C-SPAN 2

for the moment anyway. They keep bouncing it from 1 and 2 but at least there is no Tweety to listen to!

[cyberpj]

83. cnn is live, no commentary.

[Surya Gayatri]

87. Even he's not gauche enough to make a spectacle of himself! eom

[Jeanette in FL]

Poor Georgie, having to listen to the truth. No protection.

[bliss_eternal]

85. Peace and justice should be for EVERYONE ALL the time--

Amen, sister Maya.

[CornField]

88. "I shall go... I will go... and see what the end is gonna be."

More of Maya's beautiful singing voice. She's simply powerful.

[cyberpj]

86. I want to see PEACE, HONESTY, FAIRNESS - go MAYA!

[malaise]

96. Here's the beloved Jimmy Carter

[bliss_eternal]

104. I don't think they can take much more, lol!

They've got it left and right today--in such dignified and appropriate manners. I'm blown away by everyone that has graced that stage--with one exception of course.

[Misunderestimator]

89. MAYAMAYAMAYAMAYAMAYAMAYA!!!

:yourock: Wow. That's a wonderful soul.
