1. Where was Chuck Schumer?

[Mass]

2. Busy promoting his book, I imagine.

The one where he says the target of the Democrats are families that earn $75,000.

3. Inhofe and Coburn. It figures.

I can't stand either one of them. I'll call them tomorrow, again. I know it won't do any good. We've got to find some strong Dem candidates to boot them out of office, but there don't seem to be any to choose from.

5. Inhofe was not voting

I guess he was out making a deal for some future beachfront property in Tulsa.

[AndyA]

8. That's impossible, Inhofe never does ANYTHING for Tulsa.

Unless he's working on locating a new nuclear waste dump in downtown. THAT I could believe! :rofl:

He would have voted against it regardless of whether he was there or not, as I called his office in D.C. last week about it. I was told Inhofe "believed that the market should set the rate, not the government."

BULLSH!T.

4. Good. Now will Dumbass veto it?

I rather doubt he has the balls for that.

6. I don't think so. I thought he said he would sign it as long as it

contained some braks for small businesses. Of course, we can never depend on Shrub doing what he said, huh?

[Phredicles]

7. Nah, he'll sign it and then attach a signing statement saying

his cronies don't have to observe the new law.
