1. The only thing to say!

:puke:

[graywarrior]

2. .

:banghead:

[jmatthan]

3. Why did not the Dems use the 60 votes rule to stop this?

eom

[valerief]

6. Because they're not real Dems. nt

[AX10]

4. So they had the votes to fillibuster but didn't.

No wonder they have such a low approval rating.

:thumbsdown:

[Nutmegger]

5. This bastard should have been FILIBUSTERED!!!

Why wasn't he???

:mad::puke::grr::mad:

[danhan]

17. I think

I think he wasn't filibustered because with only a year left, Bush would just put in a recess appointment next month that would last through the remainder of his term.

I think the Dems were afraid of getting someone even (gulp) worse so they let this one go through.

[Karenina]

7. Tells ya everything ya need ta know

About the the "good ol' US of A.

She's DEAD. A corpse. Mummified. Tschüß!!! :hi:

[magellan]

13. What's Tschüß?

Not that I'm disagreeing. Not at all. I'm just curious.

[Karenina]

15. See ya later, alligator!

After awhile, crocodile! :silly:

[magellan]

24. LOL

I thought it was something along the "mummified corpse" line, but even more gruesome. Thanks for the translation, it's appropriate. We can all wave buh-bye to this country. It's over.

[TahitiNut]

26. When I hear that, I think of a rotund grandmother saying bye to her adult grandson ...

... while pinching both of his cheeks. I don't know why, but it conjures up that homey image. :shrug:

[ruiner4u]

16. I thought it meant bye..

[Karenina]

37. Literary license.

;-)

[magellan]

8. And they didn't even put up a fight

Wish I could say I was shocked.

[Breeze54]

9. Can't say I didn't see this coming at all....

:banghead:

[originalpckelly]

10. Lucky Muk'y!

Oh fucky!

[Mojambo]

11. Not shocked. Not disappointed. Just numb.

There's no way out.

No way out.

[originalpckelly]

14. Of course there's a way out: Dial 738-658-8466 for revolution.

[lonestarnot]

19. What's that number?

[DemGa]

12. Like Charlie Brown with Lucy holding the football

I actually had a glimmer of hope the Dems would take advantage of this torture issue; in effect, exposing the Bush regime's crimes.

Silly of me.

[kelligesq]

20. Hey. You obviously didn't listen to all the speeches of the dems. It was

better than a fillibuster.  Everyone knew he was going to get
in...but the dems did fight....they took this opportunity to
let the resident and the world know what they think of b-c ,
what America stands for and that No Man Is Above The Law .

this might be the first inning of their waking up to us
American citizens out here and what WE the citizens want.

 

[Eric J in MN]

30. Is there a roll call online? NT

NT

[lonestarnot]

18. One nation under torture.

[kelligesq]

22. No. This was a vote for a caretaker AG , not about torture. The dems just

took the opportunity to tell the world what they think of what
the resident has been doing.  If they dont get him, the world
court or the Hague will.  All good things come in time.

[lonestarnot]

23. bullshit, one nation under torture.

[kelligesq]

25. Dont be such pessimists. Just think of how much the WH was squirming listening to this n/t

hee hee hee

[lonestarnot]

29. Torturer worshipping asslicker!

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. what that we need to pass legislation that will be vetoed

declaring an ilegal practice ilegal?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

36. Yeah, he's just a war crimes caretaker - nothing to be concerned about

[blues90]

21. Can't say I'm surprised

I don't trust this freak and he does look like a freak to me , just look at the guy .

[moondust]

27. Saving their own complicit asses perhaps?

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. And that is why it had to die in committee

welcome to the next phase of the police state

[steve2470]

31. ack

One nation under Goering oopos .....

[lonestarnot]

33. He's older than hell, maybe he'll die of natural causes soon.

[Eric J in MN]

34. He's 66. NT

NT

[lonestarnot]

35. fuck is that all? Looks 90, maybe he has mechanical parts too.

[bdamomma]

38. not a good choice at all

how long will it be until he is dragged in front of a committee, saying such things like " I don't recall" or "I will have review that and get back to you", this guy is going to protect *'s and Cheney's ass from being not prosecuted doing war crimes.

Shameful and disgusting, now wait for the response from the rest of the world, we are no longer that beacon of light.

We need to take back this country. Or do we really want to live this way?
