Did you even bother click on the link? It shows who was the "acting" pro-tempore on a particular day. It has nothing to do with attendance or rank.

A lot of them are Democrats. Last I looked, the Dems don't run things in the Senate.

But most importantly, he never said he "presides over the Senate on most tuesdays"

Don't you people know how to read? [/QUOTE]

Yes, I read the link. He's only ever in the Senate as a presiding officer if there's a vote he needs to be the tie-breaker for. He's not hanging out there (on the Senate floor) on most Tuesdays.

If that single post of mine was the post you decided to riff off of for one of your trademarked dangerfield rants, you're the fuckin [sic] retard. Get a grip.

First you accuse Kerry of sneaking notes into the debate. Then you accuse the Dems of not being able to read. Well, which it?

slave flip-flopped!

"He said there was an imminent threat!"

"Haliburton!!"

"Bush's draft!!"

"Forged papers on Nigerian yellowcake!!"

Fuck, Ty, when are dems going to STOP saying stuff like this?

Too bad for you it turned out like this.
Do you think that, simply by naming your desired outcome, you make it so? You guys all paid way too much attention to MacAullife (sp?) this week. Lots of letters claiming victory only work if no one else watched.

I believe that Kerry believed, in his heart of hearts, that he had been in Cambodia on Christmas eve, so in that sense, you are correct that he was not lying, since he did not have an intent to deceive. The real problem is that he was misinformed -- uninformed, really -- and relied on his faulty memory and didn't bother to check. That sort of sloppy arrogance seems to be par for the course with Kerry, who has a real problem with the truth.
If they were handing out terms based on sloppy arrogance, Bush would be crowned emporer through 2050. You didn't really just suggest that Kerry is more sloppy than Bush, did you? Do you have on demand cable? If so, watch the Bush/Kerry debates.

Bush all but looked like a character out of one of those "This is your brain on drugs" ads.

"This. Is. What 20 years of gin does to a good Presbyterian. Any questions?"

Kerry is a word-parsing liar. Bush is the sloppy good honest god-fearing man. Get your media creations right man, lest you find youself voting for the Frenchman this Nov.

Cheney plainly implied....
Let me get this straight.

You want to ignore the plain language and look to the "implication"

Whenver Kerry says crap about a "global test", you want us to ignore the implications and look to the actual words he says.

Just trying to keep track here.

You got that right.

...They'll both be seated at a table, immediately allowing Cheney to do his assured, paternal, man-of-the-world schtick that makes me roll on my back and ask to have my tummy scratched. (Yes, I do think that Cheney is way sexier than Edwards. Not that you asked or anything.)

It's interesting that I think this is the place Cheney did the best, softening his image and becoming very human. If the R's want to turn this thing around, they should get Cheney out on the stump with his daughter.
Turn what around? Bush is leading in nearly every poll

Great criticism. I guess he shouldn't campaign. The only way you would be happy is if some inexperienced but connected republican half-wit ran on name recognition for the Democratic nomination. Now go get your fuckin' kayak.

DTB, you have to listen very carefully here to get exactly what Cheney said.

Just because he said in one sentance that he is the presiding officer of the Senate and in another sentance that he is up at the Senate every Tuesday, it doesn't mean he is presiding over the Senate on Tuesdays.
yadda, yadda, yadda.
Unfortunately, I think this is a dead issue, but it was an opportunity lost for Mr. Edwards. If he'd only been quick enough on his feet to list a couple of different places he and Cheney had met over the past several years, we'd be discussing whether or not Cheney is fit to serve as VP any more, what with his senility and all.

Who could blame him? If we could only get someone better looking than Mikulski, Stabenow or Clinton in there, then the place might get some traffic.

So I'm 1000x hotter than usual?

But 1000 x 0 = 0.
