If y’all have a minute, please take a moment and give the Bush years a grade in this survey on Rachel’s network

LOL … they prolly tried that but from Leahy & Schummy’s tone, the Dems have sewn up this confirmation.

I will say one thing, we won’t see any more Alvins or Goodlings hired under Holder.

See me @ 38. AGAG set the bar so low … the Repugs can’t oppose this guy …

Oh, I dunno. I anticipate they’ll claim they learned from the Gonzo experience and now want to “get it right.”

Igloo’s not bad, but we had windchills of -50 yesterday. Forking freezing is what that is.

I have friends from Fairbanks, where the high-low range was -35 to -45, arriving Saturday. They said they couldn’t wait to get here. I guess I should anticipate they’re staying until May.

Thank you, Marcy for all that you do.

You and the ‘Wheelhouse Gang’ are, absolutely, the best.

(Just a small token of appreciation, hope you don’t mind)

Schumer says his no vote on AGAG vindicated. says baddies across the aisle making ludicrous comparisons to Holder, then asks Holder if he has done other things as previous AGs (served as personal lawyer, etc) then asks if he has ever sent anyone to anyone’s bedroom. (laughs from gallery)

So much looking forward – trusts the attys @ Justice with the decision not to charge Schloz – but OK, he’ll check it out.
