1. Not to mention face time for SOTU
I am kind of hoping they are seated next to each other. It would be fun to see Hill put a tack on Obama's chair when he stands to applaud Bush or for Obama to put a whoopee cushion on Hillary's chair when she does the same.

2. LOL! I'd hold my nose and watch SOTU onlyl to see that!
Then again, they're more likely to get into one of those annoying, whispering arguments that children have, getting louder and louder until a grownup shushes them.

Edwards Urges Senate Democrats To Filibuster FISA Bill

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Today, Senator John Edwards released the following statement urging Senate Democrats to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA):
"In Washington today, telecom lobbyists have launched a full-court press to win retroactive immunity for their illegal eavesdropping on American citizens. Granting retroactive immunity will let corporate law-breakers off the hook and hamstring efforts to learn the truth about Bush's illegal spying program.
"It's time for Senate Democrats to show a little backbone and stand up to George W. Bush and the corporate lobbyists. They should do everything in their power -- including joining Senator Dodd's efforts to filibuster this legislation -- to stop retroactive immunity. The Constitution should not be for sale at any price."

5. LOL - yesterday, people were screaming at the thought that HRC and BHO wouldn't come back to vote
today, now we're hearing accusations that they're just trying to get face time.

Jeez!
