I'm hoping for a Democratic upper cut in the near future.

Heck yea they were caught off guard..thats why Bill Frist was on tv upset saying he felt he had been slapped in the face. Well now he knows how the people have been feeling the last 5 years! I guess they came up with this plan sometime yesterday. They felt it was the only way to get them to stop repositioning the media and after 15 months get some answers as to when the 2nd leg of this investigation was going to take place.

| 14. And ain't it just a hoot.. |
|
... to see a puke without his talking points? :)
Stammering, whining, blaming, making all sorts of statements that he will live to regret - ahhhh a thing of beauty.
I hope Reid makes this a regular feature!

| 16. According to Boxer on the "Daily Show" |
|
only three people knew. Probably Reid, Levin and Schumer I'm guessing since they did the press conference. She didn't know it and Jon said he knew about it before she did.

He made the Second on the Motion, so I would think he was part of the loop that knew in advance.
