- Go to Senator Lindsey Graham: The voters at home won't like this . . .
What is a filibuster? Is that a public confession to Dr. Phil?
"Phil, I bust 'er." Now, I could think of several definitions, given a moment of creativity. As a former optimist, I might previouly have assumed that a bust is a sculpture created in order to honor the head of some important body of leadership. If one were to bust that bust, one might be driven to a confession, and if that bust were of an important individual, the confession might be made regretfully to one's shrink, in private, but all things coming to light, and innocent children aiding with their bad spelling can bring these thoughts past our notice, until we see finally, that Dr. Phil is all the phychological rage in our day ...
Do you suppose he's sorry he busted her? Or is he stalling with the speach making performance in order to escape his doom? Looking for a way out? Hoping nobody will notice? How about simply legislating a minimum length for shorts at three inches above the knee and skirts at one inch below said knee? That might do a bit of good for our future unwaries ...

Ha-ha-ha!
Seven Republican senators only agreed to the compromise because they feared a voter backlash. I think what Sen. Graham meant to say was, "the kooks back home won't like this..."

You are absolutely right. Working together is voting together. Democrats have been doing this for four years now to Priscilla Owen. That nonsense Scoop is throwing out there about after 9/11 has been conspicuously absent while the Democrats have said "No" to everything the party the voters put in control have suggested.

Very well put, Scoop!
My only comment is that for the parties to work together, both sides need to give and take. What I see in this particular situation is one party doing all the giving and taking it only in the shorts. The ideal of both parties working together would be better met by the Democrats allowing all the nominees to go to a full vote, with everyone participating. Instead, they've demanded total control of the entire process, to the exclusion of thre majority party, unless some of the majority comes to their side on their terms.

A sellout interesting.
I remember back to 9/11 when everyone said the republicans and democrats should work together for the good of the country, what did that last two weeks? Now when they do work together it is a sellout.
I am tired of seeing the two parties clash, we get nowhere, I want to see unity. But I know many won't see it as working together, no matter what happens there will be those who will never want to see the two parties work together because of stupid blind hate. That, outlook by both parties will and is destroying this country.
As the two parties and their followers fight like kids in a sandbox the rest of the world loves it and remember that old saying, "Don't look back, someone is gaining on you" guess what that is the rest of the world and the terrorist are doing and just loving it.
