On c-span3 right now
From the 2001 congressional electoral acceptance - Al Gore rejecting all the congressional reps objections, one after another, time and time again.

It breaks my heart. It must have broken Al Gore's heart too, as well as all the reps.

What a travesty!

"Is the objection in writing and signed by a member of the house of representatives and a senator?"

"Yes it is in writing and it is not signed by a senator?"

1. Pretty cool of them to show it. Many in power would prefer it forgotten.

12. If you're streaming c-span.org you can get s-span2 & c-span3
Bottom middle of the home page at c-span.org where it says "Live Feeds", click on whichever one you want. It will take you to a new page where you can watch in thier window or open a stand-alone player via Real Play or Windows Media

13. Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug
I'm trying to give you a hug but can't get the smiles table to open!

If you can get c-span.org you can watch online. Go to the bottom middle of the home page and you'll see a list called "Live Feeds" Select one and it will take you to another page where you can watch in their window or open a stand-alone window via real player or windows media..

Sorry to say... It's over now. But check it out so you'll know how to do it next time there's someing critical on that you want to watch online.

2. That was one of the saddest things I ever saw...
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 10:31 PM by ailsagirl
And what a disgrace.

Does anyone know WHY no one stood up to that travesty of an election that day?? Has any senator ever explained WHY he/she didn't object?

Randi played audio excerpts of it on her show today.
