I suppose after that crabby remark I left I should leave a little lagniappe.

Bet the Peanut will have a trip penciled in on her calendar in the near future…

You know what’s really sad? We’ve had to suffer the indignations of hacks in the last administration’s eight years, hacks which have been hand-reared and vetted by a member of this judiciary (like Kyle Sampson, Brett Tolman, Jeff Taylor…).

And he can’t be a big enough man to make it right by voting for a far more qualified and seasoned jurist like Sotomayor.

Eff you, Orrin Hatch.

Why would La Raza expect the ‘pubs to meet with a group they’ve declared to be a terrorist organization?

Issue the invite, sure. But don’t be surprised when you don’t hear back.

Interesting that the “centrist” “bipartisan” Grassley voted no. The Republicans are out and out crazy. Bipartisanship just enables that craziness. I wish the Democrats would get a clue.

I see from the link that the spokesman went so far as to say:

The Republican Party not being here may demonstrate a lack of commitment to our community.”

Can we all say, “duh!”

Thanks for the comment. Storing the info away for the coming gubernatorial campaign here in Texas. heh.

you shouldn’t have to make a recess appointment when you have strong majorities of your party in the Senate and the House.

And La Raza is wondering why they haven’t heard from the repubs today for their annual conference

Is that a literal reference, vicky?. Have they invited some of these guys and just been stiffed?

Thanks. So, only Lindsey was the only sane one ? And La Raza is wondering why they haven’t heard from the repubs today for their annual conference. Hopefully they got the repub message loud and clear.
