C-SPAN2: "Coming Up - Feingold (D-WI) Censure Resolution"

[Hissyspit]

"vs. Pres. Bush for NSA Surveillence"

[dogday]

1. I am tuned in and ready

Go Russ Feingold!!

[rodeodance]

13. This is serious and hope Frist does not try to bloch it.

[rodeodance]

14. wish we could see a view of how empty/full the chamber is/is not.

[rodeodance]

18. twiddling my toes

[Radio_Lady]

91. Forget it. Susan Collins on now with another bill. They didn't even

have a quorum call (nobody there). We put these people in to work and where are they all the time?

Please. Don't get me started.

[dogday]

39. Indeed, something is going on

and that weird music doesn't make me feel any better... Why the delay? Who is trying to talk him out of this and what are they saying to him right now?

[rodeodance]

49. you call it weird music and i say it is sleepby music

[Radio_Lady]

100. Some of us like this music. It's classical -- chamber music -- better

than the bleating of the senators and representatives, IMHO!

[Radio_Lady]

101. UPDATE: FEINGOLD CENSURE SPEECH NOW AT 4 PM ET!

[klook]

102. "Bloch" it?

Sorry, couldn't resist. It does seem that Frist is quite capable of doing something "Psycho."

[rodeodance]

2. will it be now?

[rodeodance]

3. ok, now they put up the TAG LINE===yes yes yes

[rodeodance]

5. first--the put to sleep music

[rodeodance]

6. keep kicked

[MuseRider]

25. HEY!

That is beautiful music and it is keeping me awake. Partly because I play this music and it all ends up mixed in my mind and I can't identify it yet!! I have played it a dozen times and I can't come up with it!

Put to sleep music?

[rodeodance]

41. sorry, but it does make me sleepy. it is 'fall to sleep music' to me.

[MuseRider]

48. It is one of my very favorite

Symphonies and I simply can't think this morning what it is!!! This is driving me nuts, a real gap in my process here.

Sorry you don't appreciate it, I think it is one of the most beautiful of the symphonies ever written and is exciting to me. IF I COULD ONLY GET PAST THIS STUPID BLOCK!

[Hissyspit]

85. I recognize this section here.

Can't remember what it is, either.

[MuseRider]

93. I believe

they switched to Brahms but as much as I hate to admit it they all begin to run together for me. Years of playing them, loving them but as soon as I finish one I am getting another to work on so unless they are one of the few that seem to get played more than the others I lose track. I have them all in my collection.

I find that most other musicians have better recall than I do. I would be hard pressed to tell you what our last concert was since I am deep into the one coming up but then that is just me.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

60. lol! Pink Floyd's Ummagamma still puts my oldest to sleep...

He's 19 now, but before he was born, and for the next year after that's what his dad listened to go to sleep. Works like a charm. :)

[Hissyspit]

83. I just ordered Atom Heart Mother

My favorite album cover.

[On the Road]

84. Just Don't Use "Careful with that Axe, Eugene" as a Going-to-Sleep Song

:smoke:

[tjdee]

4. They're certainly taking their sweet time about it.

:eyes:

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. The Cons are probably blocking the door. Meanwhile, Lieberman,

Ben Nelson, and John McCain are 'talking' to him about how it weakens the President and helps our enemies.

[rodeodance]

10. wonderful time to be a fly on the wall.

[rodeodance]

20. so, a little movement

[LifeDuringWartime]

[dogday]

11. That was sweet............. nt

[rodeodance]

12. its a video of her 'sparing with Feingold' ealier today

[dogday]

19. I think Russ put her in her place

She tried many times to make this action look like partisan nonsense. Russ answered all her questions and put her in her place.. It was sweet.....

[rodeodance]

31. she tries to be one of the 'in' gals--like a Fox gal. te he.

[Hissyspit]

15. Popcorn?

:popcorn: Dum, de, dum, dum, de, dum...

[rodeodance]

29. thanks, ordinally yes, but had a late brunch.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

16. K & R &

waiting...

[KAT119]

74. DITTO-HAPPY EXPECTANCY, THOUGH....

[The Witch]

17. Russ, don't use Jewish standard time, please......

I am waiting to get lunch for you, Russ! C'mon, step on it!

:impatient:

[rodeodance]

23. so, what is jewish standard time?

[The Witch]

28. "Oy, so I'm a little late, what do you want from me?"

Or something thereabouts. My whole family's been running on it for years and years. :rofl:

[rodeodance]

38. sounds rather like my life.

[Kolesar]

103. That explains my activist buddies from Cleveland Heights!

"Can we start the meeting already, I have a long drive home"

[liveoaktx]

21. Makes you wonder if Frist is barring the door

[rodeodance]

32. umm.. what would he use?

[liveoaktx]

42. a stack of Schiavo videotapes and some errants cats

[rodeodance]

45. BINGO

[tjdee]

22. How long is this going to take!!!

Sorry, the kid is watching Madagascar in the other room....

[rodeodance]

26. wel........

[rodeodance]

27. I hear bush is making his speech this afternoon. Hope Russ gets on

before then.

[tjwash]

24. About freakin' time.

That son of a bitch should have been censured the second the Downing Street Memo became public. Let's just hope that Feingold can get some people to actually testify under oath this time, and get through the process without apologizing for doing it

And yes, I am bitter and cynical about this whole thing, and am not going to change my attitude until something actually happens. How many "this is it, this is the turning point, let's all get happy feet" moments have we had in the last six months, only to be thrown under the bus?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

30. Okay... I have to pee.

somebody yell for me if he shows up! :P

[Just Me]

36. *LOL*

:rofl: funny funny

[Catchawave]

33. I hope the Dems aren't roughing him up in a back room

right now :(

[rodeodance]

35. my gut feeling is that dems will not rally behind him on this.

[Coexist]

43. I am hoping there is some deal making going on somewhere

and Russ is smiling about it.

[rodeodance]

47. Sweet thought.

[Catchawave]

53. I think he knows this ?

Getting EVERYBODY on record is his goal :evilgrin:

Go Russ, your censure resolution will become a part of American History today.

[rodeodance]

56. Yes, wonderful move--to say Mr. President --you were wrong. We will

see who agrees.

[rodeodance]

34. soon you will have to start a new thead. slow on dial up already

[Hissyspit]

52. O.K.

[Hissyspit]

37. Raw Story is saying his people expect Feingold speech at 4 p.m.

Not sure what's going on. C-Span tag is still showing.

[Coexist]

40. hmmm.. must be some devious plot by the classical music lobby

to keep us listening!

:evilgrin:

[rodeodance]

54. muserider above says it is one of favorites. not mine, but each their own.

[Catchawave]

71. LOL....Fine with me, keeping it on just for that reason,

so much better than the blathering bloviators on the news channels!

[rodeodance]

44. crapola. If this afternoon, he might be cut off by Bush speech.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

51. nope. CSPAN2 will stay with the senate...

Cable news whores however will cut him off.

[rodeodance]

73. yes, I forgot (this is cspan)

Feingold Calls For Bush Censure Over Spying

By DOUGLASS K. DANIEL
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - A liberal Democrat and potential White House contender is proposing censuring President Bush for authorizing domestic eavesdropping, saying the White House misled Americans about its legality.

"The president has broken the law and, in some way, he must be held accountable," Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., told The Associated Press in an interview.

A censure resolution, which simply would scold the president, has been used just once in U.S. history - against Andrew Jackson in 1834.

more - http://www.katu.com/news/story.asp?ID=84028

It'll help pass the time...

[rodeodance]

50. ---A liberal Democrat--at least they did not say he was was from radical

left frindge.

[Hissyspit]

55. "At some point in the next hour or so..."

the announcer just said.

[dogday]

59. Did you hear him say Senator Feingold might come to the floor?

I heard that, and that assumes he may or may not, does it not? I hope not...



edited for clarification...

[Hissyspit]

65. Yes, he said "might"

Not sure what that means, now.

[dogday]

66. Thanks wanting verification on that...

I don't like that, they were saying emphatically he was to make the motion and now I hear might... You pick up on these little things....

[Catchawave]

57. Just announced - and hour or so ?

Oh, bet there's some fun stuff going on right now behind this peaceful t.v. screen with the pretty music :D

[Catchawave]

62. Let's see....

Dean on Line 1
Bill Clinton on Line 2
Jimmy Carter on Line 3

Heh heh heh.

[rodeodance]

69. would be grand.

[radio4progressives]

58. Ok I Missed the Whole Thing... I need a Short Recap.Someone..

Please.. Who is S. OBrien (mentioned in thread above)what did she say (paraphrase summary) and what did Russ say back? and then what happened?

[rodeodance]

64. Soladad (? spelling)--cnn news host

[Hissyspit]

68. Yes, it's Soledad, not Soledat n/t

[rodeodance]

70. ok thanks.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

72. Let me 'splain

No, there is too much. Lemme sum up.

(in my best Inigo Montoya voice)

S. obrien - CNN whore talked down to Russ, he shut her down.
waiting for Russ to come to the floor in a little less than half an hour, so all we need to do is impeach the pres, break up the wedding, steal the princess and make our escape... after I kill Count frist.


You really should watch the video. :popcorn:

[rodeodance]

75. that about sums it up just fine.

[radio4progressives]

92. Wow!! is the video on line?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

95. see #9... there's a link to bradblog they have the video

:)

[radio4progressives]

97. thanks , just looked at cnn.com, not one mention and no link

[FatDave]

61. Just said "sometime in the next hour"

Nice they could pin it down like that.

[NoodleyAppendage]

63. NOTE TO FEINGOLD. Hold speech AFTER Shrub's speech.

If he's stupid enough to give his speech before Shrub, then his message will be diluted in the evening news and talk shows. If he gives it after Shrub's propaganda, then his message will be more roundly covered.

The Repukes use this strategic speech timing method ALL THE TIME to displace Dem messages. It's about time a Dem gives it right back to them.

J

[rodeodance]

67. both cnn and msnbe seem to be interested. they have reported it

several times today as I flip about.

[NoodleyAppendage]

81. CNN and MSNBC will be interested UNTIL the subject is change by *

The idea is to be the last message picked up by the media for that day's cycle. The media has a VERY short attention span and will flit from one topic to another in an attempt to be topical and "first" to cover something new. Feingold has baited the media. Now, if he's smart, he will wait until AFTER Shrub has spoken and then give his sound bites. This will effectively ERASE anything that Shrub says today.

Jeesh...isn't there any Dem politico out there that's been paying attention to the Repuke's media manipulation playbook?????


J

[Hissyspit]
