2. Those were some frustrated 'pukes. They were totally out of..

their league.

Byrd may be dangerously old but he is dangerous none the less.

I loved it.

6. He's trashing Frist right now. Saying "The Senator is WRONG on History..

and he's quoted Frist where he backtracked before and proving him a Liar....GREAT STUFF about the "Right to Up or Down Vote" calling the Repugs on their lies! He's got the documents!

9. I think that's it for today...Here's link to C-Span Schedule it's under

:Senate Sessions" Unless they repeat later tonight...which isn't up on their schedule you missed it. But, check back to the schedule they often add stuff later. Look for "Senate Sessions" in C-Span I and 2.

8. He says he's 88 years old and won't go out without a fight for Freedom

of Speech and his fight to preserve the Constitution." He says if they try to put the "Nuclear Option in" he will fight to his last breath...to preserve the Freedom of Speech.

He's calling out Frist as that he doesn't have "Dignity."

I hope this means Byrd will lead the fight to Fillibuster...Patriot Act Alito...Fascist Alito...Strip Search Alito...Anti Female Body Rights...Alito...!

7. Byrd makes Frist look like the

candy-assed little repuke that he is, for many reasons. Byrd rocked, and Kennedy took up the torch!

10. Went and tuned in... you're right!

Frist is so totally NOT cut out to be a senator! Byrd was SO much better!

But then, Byrd had rightness on his side... definitely an advantage!

Go Byrd--tell 'em to take their "nookular option" and shove it!

11. Byrd dunks Frist

I watched it twice. Did you see Frist claim that even though he filibusted a Clinton nominee, the nominee passed the Senate, as though that justified his filibuster. Whether the nominee passed or not is beside the point--the bastard used the filibuster!
