Pompous, posturing, condescending, shrill, bitter and downright rude are just a few words that come to mind when witnessing this trio of malcontents on the Government Dole and their behavior during the Rice confirmation hearings.

I hope this group doesn’t expect any bills with their name on it to move out of committee to the floor over the next four years.

If Massachusetts, Delaware or California wants to have legislation move forward that will benefit their States they will have to distance themselves from this Band of Brothers.

Did anyone notice the strings coming out of the ceiling over Kerry at the hearings? I thought I caught a glimpse of Teddy Kennedy peeking out of the ceiling and pulling on the strings. I know I heard the rafters creaking badly.

I hope the Pats win the Super Bowl for Massachusetts so they have something to cherish for a while since they will be legislatively impotent in the Congress for the next four years. Any bill associated with their names will fall into the shredder with all the other failed legislation.

Condi is not yet confirmed, only voted favorably out of the committee for floor action.

Democrats are now blocking senate vote to delay confirmation a few days so some Senators can further debate the issue. How they can justify trying to undermine the new Secretary of State in the eyes of the world, at the very time they are demanding that she does an effective job establishing better relations with other countries, is beyond me.

The Democrat's Ultra-Liberal leadership is using every parlimentary delaying tactic they can. They know confirmation is a given, they just want to be a pain in the derriere (a little French lingo there for Jean sKerry).
