:thumbsup:

[jane_pippin]

26. Yes! I was too...

It felt good. I hope we see it in news retrospectives of the future as an example of a defining moment. I hope that's what it was.

[AuntPatsy]

14. The man is a national treasure....I am so honored to be able to

listen to this man talk...

I pity those without access..

[Freedomfried]

15. They made a big mistake calling this man a coward

wait till America hears this.

[blueblitzkrieg]

16. He is a great speaker.

He speaks with conviction and passion...unlike the slimey Republicans that spoke before him with their talking points and smears.

[Allenberg]

17. It's a shame he's getting up there in age.

He'd make a fine Senator. Much better than Specter.

[karlrschneider]

18. Is he as old as Ronnie Raygun was when he was first elected?

I don't know...and too lazy go google right now. Not really too lazy, just too engaged. :D

[Allenberg]

25. Murtha is 73

Specter is up for re-election in 2010

[Cha]

30. Born June 17, 1932

He's 73 but Geminis are known to stay young for a long time!

[JI7]

32. i think Reagan was around 80

but age doesn't really matter as much as mental awareness. take Robert Byrd for example. mid 80's but still very much there unlike Reagan and now Bush.

[AuntiBush]

19. Have it on! Murtha is Right-On!

Are you kidding. This is the best & you are right. This is history, right before our eyes.

[TriMetFan]

21. How do yall think the vote will go?

[Mr_Spock]

22. 425-5 against?

My guess...

I'm not sure if all 435 are present...

[lovuian]

24. whoo Hoo!!!

:bounce:

[johnaries]

27. Did you just hear Hastert?!?!?!?!

House going nuts!

[HeeBGBz]

28. NO my sound went out

What did he say???

[johnaries]

33. because the last speaker talked about Murtha's res, a point of

order was raised asking if they were debating Duncan's or Murtha's resolution.

Hastert said "that's a matter of debate" - implying they were the same.

[rucky]

35. Dems report from the grunts on the front lines. Repubs read letters from

commanders.

interesting.

[fooj]

36. Screw that rat bastard!

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[theHandpuppet]

29. Can you fill us in?

Some of us DIDN'T hear Hastert and would appreciate a little more info.

[johnaries]

34. See # 33.

[nadinbrzezinski]
