Senate leaders to break bread on Sunday
Could be last supper before "nuclear option"

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) will host Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) at his home Sunday afternoon, providing what may be the last chance for the two leaders to avert a showdown over the so-called "nuclear option" on judicial nominees.

Frist said Friday that he planned to host a group of several senators for a social event at his home, then volunteered that Sen. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) will be cooking duck for the group. Frist also indicated that he was considering several options to end the judicial filibuster next week, including some that differ from the so-called "nuclear" or "constitutional" option, which involves a parliamentary maneuver executed with a simple majority.

Hang tough, Harry

1. I hope Harry has a

food taster. :eyes:

[yellowdawgdem]

3. Yeah, he should be really careful

especially if they have one of those revolving tables, but just in general. Frist must be nervous to do something like this, wants to maintain a semblance of order.

7. Obviously Frist doesn't have the votes so he can push the button.

so he's trying to save face by inviting Reid over for din din.
I hope Reid spits his food into Frist's face.

Give Frist hell Harry!!!!!!!!

20. I was getting ready to ask if he was going to be broiled or baked.

4. Earlier in the week I heard Frist was hinting at an option.

I think he realises that the public doesn't like this neuclear option and is trying to find a face saving way out. There were no specifics stated in the interview I heard, but it sure sounded like he's convinced it's a bad idea for HIM.

5. Two things come immediately to mind

Do take care Harry, and let the cat doctor drink the wine first...

[donsu]

6. Frist will bully, bribe, blackmail, threaten

and Reid will back down and do his bidding

10. Defeatism can be fun?

I don't think so, but apparently some do.

[cestpaspossible]

19. Maybe he just really likes duck

or he likes to duck.

[demgrrrll]

13. Pretty good play. Proves that Reid was making some headway with

own moves. Now what does Reid do? I like a good game of chess.

Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him."
