A great filibuster deal BLOG & VIDEO CLIP collection at Crooks & Liars
has been assembled - and is still growing. There are video clips and also over a dozen links EACH to progressive and GOP blogs and other sites. He says he will continue to update the collection all night.

Here's his intro to the collection and his current video clip collection:

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2005/05/23.html#a3089

Blog Round-up of Reactions to the Compromise


Bill Frist tries to save Face/ Freepers are crazed! Not everyone agrees.
I'll be updating this post all night!

  • Frist immediately went on the floor to give a speech. He's definitely not happy. (Video-WMV)
  • Lindsey Graham calls out the White House- (Video- Real Audio)
  • Here's the Full Press conference-(Video-WMP- This is a big file, so if you don't need to see it, that's ok.)


(snip)


This collection provides an easy way to get a capsule view from a variety of spokespeople from both sides. Some of them are freeper sites that you would need a biohazard suit to venture into on your own.

Since he is going to be updating this all night, new gems are cropping up. For example, a cited comment in the Kevin Drum piece on this claims that Graham said on MSNBC that one of the three judicial nominees in the initial batch for which the filibuster has been set aside will be voted down on a bipartisan basis. IS this true? Will it happen? Guess we'll have to stay tuned.

3. Yes it does, and it's good that this one is being put together.
This is a complex issue and being able to consider multiple viewpoints makes it easier to get a sense of what has really happened. Of course, we won't REALLY know until we see it played out with future votes.

Getting a reasonable nights' sleep also rocks - I see both of us need to pay more attention to that one. Now I finally WILL turn off my computer and turn out the lights for the night. I hope you do too. Past time to rest and refuel for tomorrow.
:hi:
