If you are so inclined, give a donation to the Princeton student’s filibuster. I grew up in Princeton, and these folks are making me proud.

Here are daily Kos diaries where I give some of the key phone numbers, actions, etc.

Thx, I wrote to McCain last week, hopefully he stands his ground against BushCo on this issue. And Kyl….well, he’s already a proven idiot.
They are indeed to be congratulated. This has, I suspect, turned into an much larger act of political activism/theatre than they may ever have imagined. I find it peculiarly interesting, as a denizen of the Mountain West, that it originated at Princeton…not an institution that I normally associate w/ liberal politics and activism.
Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken.
Princeton is a very liberal town, and a fairly liberal university. But it has produced a frightening number of severe reactionaries: Rumsfeld, Schultz, Frist…
I attribute this to the local student bar, The Annex, being a suck-ass place to try to have fun and unwind.
Yeah,sure…blame the bartender..”STF up Rummy-you too “catman”, ain’t my fault the babes think you’re assholes..pay the tab and get the hell outta-here!”
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
the headlines:
HUSTLER MAGAZINE’S LARRY FLYNT GETS DIVORCE RECORDS OF BUSH NOMINEE; PUBLISHER RAISES STIFF QUESTIONS ABOUT SEX, PAST MARRIAGE
IMAGE FILES OF RECORDS, TEXT ARE RELEASED
-Washington Note suggested abusive first marriage-
-Senate committee’s extensive security interviews-
Not sure there is much to Flynt’s story. I dislike these tactics too.
But if he is a sexual deviant it won’t surprise me.
Do you think the MSM will pick this up? I wonder.
I dislike such tactics too. But here it has a legitimate purpose. If he was abusive towards his wife, it fits with a significant pattern and history.
And I don’t want a wife abuser in any public office.
btw, someone e-mailed this to me. So I checked at Kos out of curiosity and there are a lot of diaries on it, none of which did very well.
still, the abuse story is big in my book.
If people come forward and make horrible allegations it will get reported. But a 1982 divorce is not news in and of itself. Nor are allegations that Bolton went to sex clubs 20+ years ago.
Unless there is more to the story than The Raw Story is reporting, this is not going to go anywhere.
It also might give Bolton a much needed boost.
this is the real lowdown on Bolton. It COULD break into a big story.
n/t
someone wrote on a Kos diary that this is the first indication that we have that he ever got along in a group.
hahahahahaha!
Makes me wonder what kind of “interesting” tomorrow’s debate is going to be.
Boxer email to sign petition. Did you all get it? I sent it off asar. Also tried calling Chaffee’s office in DC…all voicemail boxes full. Any fax #’s ut there appreciated.
This is the petition against Bolton.
I didn’t get it. Where can I sign? I don’t see it on her site.
Crap Susan, I already deleted the email from her. Someone over at Kos had a link. I will see if I can find it for you. Sorry!
These students are awesome by the way. What a fabulous way to protest.
Oh GAWD … Keith O is making fun of Florida! If you can, watch the rerun at 9PM PDT. It’s on at about :53 into the show.
My daughter sent me these links:

Chafee will reluctantly vote for Bolton.
Crap, this Seattle Times article makes it sound like he’s made it official, but here’s the link to Boxer’s petition http://ga4.org/campaign/boltonchafee/duxixk425jxtie? with phone number of Bolton’s office (202) 224-2921
that’s the problem with living on the west coast and having to rush around in the morning getting two people out the door including self to work — listening to hearing now
