It's their playhouse and their time, Bullies usually get what they want?

It's only Robert's Rules Of Order. Nothing unusual about it.

McCain forgets he did this same thing in 2004.

May not be unusual but it doesn't explain why Baucus got to ramble on the way he did. If others can be denied an extra 30 seconds to finish their thought, Baucus should've been yanked off the floor w/a hook for his outrageous conduct.

Do you honestly believe that any politician can restrict themselves to
a measy 30 seconds to explain anything?

My point is that whether or not they can wrap it up in 30 seconds is irrelevant. They were denied the chance but Baucus got to ramble on while drunk.

I wonder - when the Senators get up to speak, they normally have a specific amount of time alloted. When Lieberman was speaking he had run out of time and wanted more. Did Baucus speak within his alloted time - without running over? That might be why he was not interrupted.

Then, again, maybe the Senators who were present just wanted to see him make a fool of himself

Or there's that.

You know I just now viewed the video of Baucus's address to Congress
and am struck with the irony of who made this objection to it.

It is Mark Foley, Really, it was Mark Foley.

o.k....

It's not right to say the prez lies, but some of us can agree that pointing out his not having a "negro dialect" doens't provoke the same kind of ire?

LOLOLOL,

Child please!

I can't believe how this remark by Reid has been blown way out of proportion
by the media.

It wasn't racist to begin with, but anything to complain about, some will
take & run with it. Morons.

I am living on another effing planet.

That was a effing racist statement.

Just like people that tell me that I speak 'good English' because after they hear me speak Spanish they are stunned that I do not have an accent.

Child Please.

Reid is an old tyme racist and that's all there is to it.

If I said something like "white people are white because they live in the snow and don't get sun" would that get me a pass?

If that is the case, BO, NP and all their ilk are liars, cheats and effups to the nth degree.

Let's see congress censure my sorry arse.

I am watching Mark Mcgwire come clean about his steroid use.

At the moment, I believe him far more than any politician.



P.S.

MM just stated that Howard Waxman knew about his steroid use before the testimony at the senate hearings.


Lovely.
