Charles Schumer

Senator Charles Schumer was right now on C-SPAN-3 being interviewed on the Gonzales mess.

He has not only has said that there is growing bi-partisan consensus that Alberto Gonzales is not fit for the job of US Attorney General, but has said that "he is less qualified to be attorney general than the US attorneys he fired". And, just to dig the point deeper, he offered the comment that, had this had happened under the Reagan administration, Gonzales would have been summarily fired.

I kind of disagree on that one because, in Reagan's America, he would have never been hired in the first place.

There is a whole process to vlogging that I find totally unsatisfying. I hate editing and I hate compressing files for better streaming because it takes too long and I want to put thing up on the web NOW! The upside of editing and going through frames is that you get to crack yourself up with the body language of your subjects.

Case in point : I could spend hours watching Christine Quinn talk ... with the volume off. Check the president of New York City's City Council ... she's an opera diva in making. Ok, maybe a Broadway musical --although I suggest she get a voice coach because she strains her voice during speeches. Girlfriend, breathe!

And then, there is Mark Green; who is running for attorney general...

More after the jump.

I came in just as the speaker read Lincoln Chafee's "Aye" vote for cloture.

Ben Nelson, Ken Salazar, Max Baukus and Joe Liberman have all voted for cloture. I am happy to say my senators, Clinton and Schumer voted "No".

Snowe, Hutchinson and Lincoln, all women, voted "Aye". All Republicans. Obviously none pro-choice.

In case you were wondering, I want to target the turncoat Democrats and target them hard. We need to get rid of these suckers.

Which Reid of Nevada voted "Aye" and which one voted "No"?

I wish I'd memorized all the senators names and affiliations.

BTW, my kids are watching now, trying to decide whether the milling about and calling out votes makes for good drama or not.

Senator Akaka ... from Hawaii? Just voted "Aye"

GOOD GRIEF! THIS IS LIKE WATCHING PAINT BOIL AND WATER DRY .... AAAAAAUUUGH!

The cloture has passed 72 to 25.

Jim DeMint has been given the role of soundbiter for the Republicans and they've come out swinging :

"DEMOCRATS SAY ANYTHING BUT DO NOTHING ...

THEY CANNOT ARTICULATE A CLEAR PLAN ON THEIR OWN ...
