MSNBC:Tweety et al - Any Deal means Frist is Toast!

Edited on Mon May-23-05 06:41 PM by emulatorloo

Well they didn't call him toast,

But basically said he's pinned his entire career on "Nuclear Option."

And the moderates putting this deal together is an end run around him. . .it is basically over for him, they imply.

However also say that Fundies will be out to pressure Frist to have vote anyway because this is so important to their agenda.

2. Frist is toast

Frist staked everything on the nuclear option working. The christian conservatives will not forgive him if the Democrats have the right to block an extreme right winger from the high court.

3. I hope this brings THE CAT BUTCHER down several notches.

I still don't know what happened, so I'll wait to hear the newsconference later this evening.

But so far I am nervous about what we gave up in the deal, and at the same time encouraged that 12 "moderates" undid the majority leader.

An odd development.

Future filibusters only under "extreme circumstances".

Agreement "based on trus".

8. How is it a win?

The Pukes get what they want- and will invoke the "Nuclear Option" anyway when Reid tries to filibuster a Supreme Court nominee.

We got reamed again....

6. My take: this is first move of McCain to get the repub nomination and

fry Frist who will be competing for it. McCain knows he's not liked by the far right Christian asshole brigade and thus, has to energize and turn our the moderates and take back the party. Now, all we need is for one of the preachermen of the right (like Robertson, etc.) to launch a third-party presidential bid and then we can wipe these suckers off the bottom of our shoes for good.

7. Win or Lose, Frist is toast. He can never live down destroying a

200 year old tradition. The problems in a democracy is not the extreme wings, but the great middle which moves like a juggernaut, very slowly. They are beginning to move. Just a bit, but they are moving. Frist hitched his star to a losing proposition. He is the front man, he is the one to blame.

10. 5 of 7 extreme judges go through

Priscilla owens and Janice whats-her-name are dropped. Not much of a compromise, but the best dem's can ask for in these powerless times.
