Specter is slamming Schumer on C-Span 2

[IChing]

listen to him

[Catherine Vincent]

1. What is he saying?

[IChing]

2. He understands why the Goodling doesn't want to tesify

Political reasons by Schumer.

[IChing]

3. He is defending Goodling

Says it is unfortunate that witnesses aren't coming forward because of political reasons.

Leahy is responding
now

[blm]

7. Would he like to talk to Monica Lewinsky's mother about that?

Fer chrissakes, she was the mom of a young woman who fell in love, and she was FORCED to testify about her daughter.

Goodling works for the US taxpayers and somehow questioning her about her own actions is 'political' to Specter?

[Iwasthere]

4. Leahy up now

"She said does not want to suffer the fate of Libby, and he was convicted!" Interesting huh?

[Supersedeas]

13. IOW, she was handed 'talking points' - ordered to use them, but if she does, she will incriminate

herself...or worse if she tells the truth, she will expose her participation in the violation of 18 USC 1503.

[guitar man]

17. too bad

[dkofos]

20. GREAT PICTURE

That is the picture I see in my head when I hear these whiners.

[rodeodance]

5. as Keith says-----in the end he always caves. (blisters for a while)

[IChing]

6. George Wu vote to be a judge indistrict court he works for Gonzales and

created the torture memo.

[IChing]

8. Am I wrong about WU?

[blogslut]

10. I have no idea

I know there's a professor Yoo that helped crafted the torture justifications.

[IChing]

12. OK, different guy...I like to be wrong on this one

George Wu is being voted to be a Fed. District court judge for Central California.

[blogslut]

16. Ah

Thanks. :)

Here's Yoo:

14. Wrong Chinese name. The "Torture Memo" was written by John Yoo.

:shrug:

[zbdent]

19. Actually, Specter caves in the direction of

Bush ... so he's already caved ...

[blogslut]

9. What are they voting on?

n/t

[zulchzulu]

11. Arlen Specter is and has always been a paper tiger

Never trust what he says when he puffs up about "getting the truth". Over and over, he has proven that he is a paper tiger and ALWAYS caves in to Chimpy in the end.

[BuyingThyme]

15. He lures children with tricks and treats, but always ends up

cutting off their heads and burying the corpses in the basement.

I don't know what he does with the heads.

[roamer65]

18. Bet Ed Rendell would beat Specter in an election for the Senate.

[juno jones]

21. IMHO, we need to investigate

Sen Arlen 'One Bullet' Specter. He's been bending over for republican power politics for over thirty years now, JUST WHAT IS IN IT FOR HIM?
