1. What is it with these politicians?

She only called them stupid 3 times...not enough in my book. AWESOME speech! Someone on our side dagnabit!

[WhoIsNumberNone]

10. They're not idiots, they're crooks.

And they just can't stop swindling. They haven't gotten it through their heads that the 'good old days' of the Bush no-accountability, screw-the-working-man presidency are over. They should be on their knees thanking God that I'm not president, because I'd have them facing charges even before Bush. And no country club prison when they're found guilty- I'd have them in with the Crips where they belong!

14. Do you like her enough to consider her for an eventual run for president?

You didn't really answer that in your other thread...

[bjobotts]

16. No way.She's just now finding her voice.Has voted with republicans on all major issues with Bush

[bjobotts]

18. She's only speaking out now because she has support to do so.

[bjobotts]

19. Removed her email site for all the criticism from her constituents and took no stand against Bush

[bjobotts]

20. She's growing now but has not shown she would stand up when in the minority.

[bjobotts]

21. I'm really glad she's coming out now though.I feared another Diane Feinstein

[bjobotts]

22. I voted for her but after election she just became a "go along" till now.

[bjobotts]

23. Good on her. I hope she keeps it up becoming a leader and not a follower.

[bjobotts]

24. I'm begining to have faith again. Good on her. What she did was spectacular

[bjobotts]

25. She's the first one to say what we've all been thinking and said it well.

[cynthia]

40. agreed

[ejbr]

31. Thanks for sharing

albeit in several posts! :)

[ejbr]

30. I don't know her well enough.

I just like that she called a "spade a spade"

[PhilosopherKing]

4. She's awesome!

Maybe she can teach that wuss Ben Nelson a thing or two about how to fight for your supporters.

[gblady]

5. You go, Claire....

[stlsaxman]

[Muttocracy]

7. oooh, thank you, missed this earlier. "I'm mad!" too, Senator!

[Turborama]

11. My pleasure. Hearing this is music to my ears and I've watched it 3 times so far.

Might treat myself to a 4th listen now...

[Seldona]

8. 'What planet are these people on?'

It is hard to articulate just how amazed I am right now. It looks like sanity just might prevail! I haven't felt this good about politics in 38 years, and I am at a personal low of epic proportions.

Finally the Democratic Party turns on the light at the end of the tunnel. I love this woman!

[Iwillnevergiveup]

9. Unmitigated gall

bonuses handed out in December. FOR WHAT???

[Left Coast2020]

12. One word of what they've done with taxpayers money:

FRAUD!! Haul their ass into a courtroom NOW. These bastards piss me off getting away with what they have gotten away with over the past 8 years and beyond.

[Pharaoh]

13. Look at the guy with the Bong at 53 seconds in

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Turborama]

17. Even though I've seen it 3x, I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it

I've been replaying it and literally laughing out loud more and more each time.
Thanks a lot for pointing it out! :applause: :headbang: :yourock:


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Pharaoh]

33. And it seems to be a real nice one

The Holy Golden Bong of the House I have heard they call it :hippie:

[JDPriestly]

15. I agree with Senator McCaskill.

[Captain Hilts]

35. The last person to propose such a thing was...

[JDPriestly]

38. One of the greatest women in our history. Thanks for posting the picture.

[JDPriestly]

27. Oh, if I could rec this a hundred times I would!

You GO, girl!

[Suji to Seoul]

28. Amazing what having a large majority in Congress will do.

[RBInMaine]

29. GOOD FOR HER, AND IT IS ABOUT DAMN TIME !! Now we'll see which party is for THE PEOPLE and which is

for the GREEDY RICH !!

[olegramps]

32. Locking the Barn Door after the horse is stolen.

Well, I am sorry but I am not impressed. Our representatives as usual had the heads up the fat asses and were allowed to be stampeded into this bailout by the Bush administration. Bush and Cheney and their corporate buddies are laughing the asses off at these clowns. They have their money and we have been left holding the sack. Where the hell is the money? These hacks that we elect to represent us can't even force these crooks to account for were the hell it went. She keeps says as we go forward, what the hell about the want the made off with. Yeah, just another big mouth politician who is using their very own incompetence to feather their own nest. She's mad, well she doesn't fathom just how damn mad I am with the whole rotten bunch of them.

[pjt7]

34. I like this Senator, but she should be calling Obama out for

putting the NY FED Chair & tax crook as the Treasury head & then letting him select Mark Patterson as his chief of staff.. who had been a lobbyist for the beneficiary of all the recent Gov. thefts. GOLDMAN SACHS.

[Left Coast2020]

39. Not to mention all the cash they flew into Iraq in bundels.

There's another 8 or $9-billion that was stolen from our treasury. What about that? Oh, I forgot. We had to pay Blackwater and the other contractors.

[jennied]

36. Cenk predicts that she'll be the first woman president.

37. Claire is my girl, too.

Now she knows  how to tell it like it is by saying in plain
language how we all feel about this mess.  I don't care WHAT
she runs for -- I will keep on voting for her. Best politico
to come out of MO in a LONG time........sic 'em, Claire!!!
