RIGHT ON BARBARA!

[helderheid]

"You don't make the rules anymore - I do"!

YEAH!!!!!

[sabra]

1. "elections have consequences" - as Boxer holds the gavel

[acmavm]

2. Who'd she say this to? Am at work. Have no clue what you're

talking about.

[helderheid]

6. Inhofe who was trying to control the Global Warming hearing.

Sorry bout that!

7. Inofe was trying to lecture Gore and then shut Gore up

Boxer didn't let him do that.

[Divernan]

21. And usually Gore, as a former Senator, would be treated with EXTRA politeness

by all Senators, including the Republican ones.

[ourbluenation]

12. Gore is testifying before a senate cmte and the king of the flatworlders, Inhofe,

is getting very cheeky. Wants Gore to take a pledge to use no more power than the average american. submitted that ridiculous article from last month, for the record. When Gore started to answer, he kept cutting him off. Boxer shut him down.

[pacalo]

16. Inhofe wouldn't allow Gore to sufficiently answer his questions.

He cut Gore off after maybe 30 seconds, telling Gore that he would have to send Gore the question for a written answer, that Inhofe's time was limited (for his diatribe-like "questions"). Barbara interrupted & said she would freeze the time. "Thank you," replied Inhofe. Barbara admonished Inhofe for not allowing Gore to answer the questions. Inhofe recalled how Barbara cut one of the Rethug senators off in the past. Barbara's response drew applause (& a whistle) from the audience when she held up the gavel & said (p/p), "Things are different now; an election changed that. Elections have consequences."

20. Thank you for an excellent description!

Damn, I'm sorry I missed it.

[RiverStone]

22. If anyone finds a YouTube link for that exchange...

Please post it. I'd love to see that weasel Inhofe put in his place; what a fundamentalist righteous prick he is! He also believes the earth is flat I'm sure.


GO AL!!! GO BARBARA!!!

[LSK]

11. Inhofe was not letting Gore answer his questions, he only wanted Yes/No

Boxer stopped the procedings and basically yelled at Inhofe to let him answer.

[seafan]

10. Inhofe is as petulant as *. I am embarrassed for his constituents.

But, then, we had Katherine Harris, so I'm sympathetic.

[wryter2000]

13. I love both my Barbaras

Boxer and Lee.

[ronnykmarshall]

14. Despite the PUB spin, our Dems are right where they supposed to be...Champions for the TRUTH

:toast: to the Dems

[Fenris]

15. That's AWESOME!

:rofl:

[southerncrone]

17. Boxer tells Imhofe "how it is!" Priceless!

Guess Imhofe can't process answers of more than 5 words.

These Gomers are stooping even lower than I thought they could: using parliamentary procedure for delays, trying to limit testimony, acting like they make all the rules!

Guess 6 yrs. of unbridled power can be habit-forming!
"You're not in power anymore, get over it!":smoke:

35. Fantastic response!!!!

[Blue Belle]

36. That wasn't even my favorite part of her response...

That fact that his actions forced her to stop him and say, "now let me talk to you for a second... don't you think you should let the Vice President answer the questions?" like one would talk to a petulant two year old who wasn't getting his way. It was hysterical... she totally called his shit before she picked up the gavel. Bravo... if they act like children, they deserve to be spoken to like children.
