Ted Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Ted Kennedy CALLING WONK!!!!
WOW!

One of the angriest and fiery displays i have seen on the Senate floor ever.

ANYONE TAPING THIS?? THIS MUST BE PRESERVED!

I'd LOVE TO DISTRIBUTE/HOST A QUICKTIME MOVIE OF THIS SPIRITED STAND HE'S TAKING TODAY!

Please, anyone? Ted's appearance today should be a special Infomercial for the Democratic Party!

11. "So you want to vote on something?"
Teddy's best argument (paraphrasing):

"So you want to vote on something?
Let's vote on the minimum wage. Oh, no. Can't do that.
Let's vote on extending unemployment insurance. Oh, no. Can't vote on that.
Let's vote on a hate crimes bill. Oh, no. Can't touch that.
"

14. Senator Leahy also did a five star performance.......
he was as good and if it came down to a vote, I'd have a rough time.

The dems are chewing up the pukes.

17. Locking--excessive caps
Please see rule #2 here
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=463744

2. The subject line of a discussion thread and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include profanity, excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation. Inflammatory rhetoric should also be avoided.

Thank you
