#1 But why would even the wimpiest Republican ââmoderateââ want to help them out?

Because they enjoy their balls being sucked by the MSM, the rent-seekers, signeurs and other Georgetown parasites dependent on Washington largesse. It's the Sally Field Syndrome - 'They like me - they really, really like me!'

Prediction - Chaffee joins Vainovich; Bolton's nomination chances flatline. Sad, really, this complete lack of party discipline...

#2 "Maybe Bolton was in a foul mood or maybe he was in a vowel mood and, this being Kyrgyzstan, they didnât have any."

That's the funniest sentence I've read in months. Steyn. Awesome werdsmythe, heh.

#3 I love his comments on the new Pope. What were those Cardinals thinking? How dare they elect a Catholic to the post of Pope.

#4 I am absolutely livid over this fuckup, along with the ongoing fuckup over Bush's judicial appointments. I threw some serious money into political campaigns last year and indulged in some serious gloating when that shithead Daschle was defeated with, in some small part, my help.

But now I'm wondering, what the hell for? What good did it do?????? With this bunch of idiots in the Senate, I'm beginning to fear the answer is, "none".

#5 Dave D.---Check out my posting in the opinions section. I made a letter to my Senator. We need to hold their feet to the fire. I would like to clean house, except for a few Congressmen. Limit terms, retirement, money. Oops, boiler pressure going up again.....

#6 That's one fine letter, Paul. Let us know if she writes back. You may even wish to fax it to her office. The next hearing isn't until May 12.
