Yeah, I'm recording it....Don't worry...And on VHS because my TiVOs so full these days. (How quaintly retro.)
Right now Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia) is really hamming it up about Estrada being Hispanic, and working his way up from nothing as an immigrant, etc. "We think you've come far from a lowly background...and he's taken advantage of the opportunities that have been given to you...."
Anyway, tune in for yourself if you're interested...
Posted by Lisa at February 13, 2003 11:56 AM | TrackBackJust flipped it on - Max Baucus (D-Montana) is up, doing a fine, if rambly, job of putting the focus on accountability and the fact that no one knows anything about Estrada. I haven't heard anyone counter the Republicans' argument that Estrada should be appointed because, among other things, he's Hispanic. I wonder if anyone will take that on and call the GOP on their hypocrisy.
