Chrenkoff’s bizarre tsunami quotes, part 2.

(What? You missed part 1?)

Via AP:

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., wipes away a tear as she announces with Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, that they will object to the certification of Ohio’s electoral votes during a joint session of Congress today Thursday, Jan. 6, 2005. It would be only the second time since 1877 that the House and Senate were forced into separate meetings to consider electoral votes.

And then, they certified Bush .

Of a Green kind.

Hewitt on the death of CNN’s Crossfire:

Crossfire was lousy because Begala is unwatchable, yes, but also because they never bothered to figure out that the audience wants a real debate, not a contrived shouting match more fit for Saturday Night Live skits than prime time, or even late afternoon.

More, from Jarvis.

Still More: CableNewser has video of Tucker Carlson’s last Crossfire broadcast.

Via SFGate:

Raising the gavel with a grin, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter opened his first hearing Thursday by allowing more criticism of the Bush administration than his predecessor and by questioning some of the Patriot Act’s police powers.

With his changes, questions and comments, Specter proclaimed his independence and said he expected the same from Alberto Gonzales, President Bush’s nominee to be attorney general.

Didn’t I say that this guy needs to be watched like a hawk? (Sigh) I guess we reap what we sow.
