Where ya been?

You'd think with all the WJ threads this morning, people would be wondering what happened to the CSPAN Schedule thread. :shrug:

19. I know.. but it gets so disheartening
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 07:42 AM by notadmblnd
that we three are the only ones that seem to participate me, you and the big paininthearse. Then I read where skinner posted that they are thinking of combining or eliminating groups that aren't very active and thought the CSPAN group is probably going to be one of the groups that disappear, so I stopped doing it again.

But if you think I should still continue... I will do it.

on edit: why can I never remember spell check?

15. He said, "There have been some wacky appointments
in the past, but..." LOL.

He is not a happy camper, and even mentioned that this questioned *'s judgement. Frankly, I think this is one of many incidents which questions *'s sanity, but it was nice to hear Frum say it.

25. thanks for th link
that was an eye-opener. He's either laying a nice smokescreen or she is A. not what the conservatives want, and b. not up to the task regardless of party affiliation or ideals.

29. Laughing here! too funny! The funniest part is that he was for real. There
is no way on earth that he wasn't sincere about his opposition to her. If you recall the WJ host mentioned something about how Cons who were upset about other Cons being elitist about this. Frum is definitely an elitist. Harvard Law and all that.... Wait! Maybe he was upset because he wasn't selected??? Laughing again and joining you for a smoke. :)

30. He was totally sincere and had is panties all in a knot over this! Remembe
she graduated from SMU and he graduated from Harvard Law!

BTW.... thank Tesla for the link. Tesla provided it in the first post. I just provided as a quick way to get over to Frum's site so we could see what has been written there in relation to his comment about how people who worked for her weren't too pleased with her.

say. The real truth is so hard to find in dishonest persons.

32. That must have been on those huge cards he reads from, The ones
that have what appears to be a couple of sentences each.

That was a truly a defining statement about Miers' qualifications........

36. i thought so too
that being said, as a career executive assistant, i should get the job:)

note the lack of punctuation here... my little way of rebelling after 8+ hours a day "working for the man"

38. shhhhhhhh the punctuation police will be after you here! I can appreciate
how you feel. In my previous life (pre-kids and pre new calling) I was a bookkeeper, and I never even tried to balance my own checkbook.
