Leahy is tearing it up on CSPAN2 right now

[MiniMe]

Talking about how the Republicans want everything their way, and how they are blaming the dems for everything. It is excellent.

1. Ain't he just grand? nt

[MiniMe]

3. I am loving it. I love his sarcasm!

[cali]

8. Do tell

What's he being sarcastic about? Any specifics would be much appreciated for those of us without TV. Is this on the Senate floor?

[MiniMe]

12. Yes, on the Senate floor

Making statements about judicial nominees from the past and present, saying how many of the nominees that are being blocked now are being blocked by the repukes, not the dems. Its hard to explain his sarcasm, mostly statements like "Now why would that be? Could it be because of ..."

15. Thanks for fillling me in, MiniMe. n/t

[Counciltucky]

7. Cheney reference

[ProfessorGAC]

10. Then Merely Obtuse

I know Cheney said that to Leahy. Seems too obtuse to be left without further comment.

9. I believe this is in reference to Cheney's directions.

6. Bringing up the 96 session

When the Repukes took the Senate and wouldn't let any of Clinton's judges get through

Edit - spelling

11. From one Leahy to another, get 'em Senator Leahy.

13. It's nice to hearSOMEONE giving these AH's some grief on their way out!

I could only stnad to watch a few minutes yesterday when the Pubs were saying goodby. It got to be way too much crap after about 3 minutes and I shit it off!

I like Leahy. He's soft spoken, but can really convey his anger when he has to. I think his manner is more effective than say, Ted Kennedy's, because he's easy to listen to, andwhen HE strongly criticizes something, you KNOW there's really something wrong.

14. It seems like Leahy is having trouble forming his words.

Maybe that's just the way he usually talks but I never noticed it before. It almost seems like the speech centers in his brain are not fully operating. I hope he's OK.

[MiniMe]

16. He was going strong for a long time. He slowed down on his summation

[lpbk2713]

17. Has he mentioned how the rethugs have had control

of virtually all branches of government for the last six years and that is what got us into the mess we are now in?

[MiniMe]

18. Several times. He was firing on all cylinders.

[longship]

19. Why doesn't somebody snag these clips?

It's too bad that by the time many of us see the post, it's over. I would love to see Leahy foaming at the mouth at the Repukes.

I hope it shows up on YouTube, or C&L.

Anybody?

BTW, :kick:

[lpbk2713]

20. Tune in to KO tonite

I'll bet there will be bits & bites on his show.

[blm]

21. Love to Leahy - he's one of the goodens.

One of the increasingly few senators I trust.
