1. I don't know if this is theater or genuine outrage.

[blogslut]

2. kick

:kick:

[TwilightGardener]

3. This is a pretty bad free-for-all. Apparently GOP is complaining

that the finance committee stimulus package was changed and that they just got the changes (LIHEAP was added)? And now they want to hold it up. Feinstein on now. Interesting battle.

[malaise]

5. The battle is about FISA

Well spotted Dems. This is about wasting time. Mitch the bitch wants immunity for the telecoms companies. It's that simple. Go Barbara!

[TwilightGardener]

4. Barbara Boxer mocking McConnell and Kyl. Good stuff.

[malaise]

6. LOL

caught with his pants down. Did he leave?

[TwilightGardener]

8. McConnell's gone, Kyl has to take her abuse. She's mocking McConnell

for wanting to "study" the LIHEAP addition to the stimulus package--but everyone knows what LIHEAP is, it's been around for many years. Not much to study, she's saying. He's just stalling.

7. I have the feeling that this

is a dog and pony show so they (Reid, inc) can claim they tried but didn't have the votes, blah, blah, blah or some other excuse for capitulating again.

[TwilightGardener]

9. That's what I'm always suspicious of. Boxer talking about Iraq and McCain's

100 years of war now.

[malaise]

10. True but what she's saying is important n/t

[TwilightGardener]

11. Boxer's tearin' it up! She's doing great.

[canoeist52]

15. she's talkin' like a real Democrat

[alittlelark]

26. She IS a real Democrat! She's my Senator...

and I LOVE her!:loveya:

[malaise]

16. Love her John Edwards chart

250,000 disabled Veterans. Go Barbara!!

[VP505]

13. It is and she

is really giving them an earful of reality, good on her!

[alfredo]

12. Boxer is giving them hell. You go gal!

[slipslidingaway]

14. Senator Boxer, the elephant in the room....Iraq spending!!! n/t

[VP505]

17. The check book is open

for Iraq but closed for America. Great line!

[malaise]

19. Super line

Go Barbara!

[TwilightGardener]

18. "The checkbook is open for Iraq, but it's closed for America"--good line.

[TwilightGardener]

20. Boxer--I'll fucking yield when I'm fucking done. LOL!

edit to add: in more Senatorial terms, of course.

[malaise]

21. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

:rofl: Go Barbara!!

[VP505]

23. This is the kind of

fire and passion that we need from our Senators everyday that Bu$h has left in office to remind the RePukes who is in the majority.

[malaise]

25. Yep

This is great.

[malaise]

27. That was fucking brilliant

Bush is not getting his version of that stimulus package.

[jgraz]

22. Oh, I hope this goes up on C&L later.

I just got in and it looks like I missed the best stuff.

[malaise]

24. You sure did

The coalition of the willing has been depleted!!

[TwilightGardener]

28. Kyl thinking the Repubs are going to look like asses--wants everyone

to know that it's McConnell who'd rather hold up the bill.

[malaise]

30. Yeh blame the Dem candidates

McConnell said he had to read the bill.

Babs jumps down his throat.

[Catshrink]

29. Kyl

My senator. Such a fuckwad -- an embarrassing fuckwad. But hey, you useless Jackass: "McCain is a senator also who will be out campaigning tomorrow. Don't put this all on the Dems, you tool."

[TwilightGardener]

31. Boxer calling them on their GOP game playing.

[malaise]

33. He's now saying the opposite of what

McConnell just said before he walked out. He said he needed 30 hours to read it.
Sp.

[TwilightGardener]

32. Scrappy lady, that Babs--she's not letting them get away with shit.

[Cleita]

37. She's the woman we should have been running for President IMHO n/t

[TwilightGardener]

34. Boxer said she'd never met a President who had less of a clue--and that

offended Mr. Kyl. BWAH!

[malaise]

35. Don't you dare insult the king of

clusterfucks.

[jgraz]

36. Jon Kyl is such a fucking tool

:grr:

[malaise]

38. He's really been humiliated

He was embarrassed big time - Barbara destroyed them.

[Catshrink]

39. Durbin is great!

I love the part about "let's get something done tomorrow." Keep beating on Kyl.

[malaise]

40. Always

I love Durbin. He's just getting started.

[Wizard777]

41. Where is the clip? I'm just getting the budget from the White house.
