Pox Americana: Call Senator Byrd!
Comments in response to this post:
Doesn't do justice to what he actually delivered today. Leaves out not only his style (obviously) and spirit, but whole chunks of what he actually said. Like the bits about the "beautifully flowered whereas clauses" and his repetitious "pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty".

Unfortunately, I was at work ;)

CSPAN doesn't seem to keep archives of regular proceedings either. CSPAN isn't so cool.

Meanwhile, everyone should call Byrd's office and voice support for a fillibuster.

CNN.com - Bush to address nation on Iraq - Oct. 4, 2002

U.S. officials said the president won't reveal any new evidence about the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and won't unveil any new U.S. policy but will "urge the American people to make sure they are heard" as the country and the United Nations debate what to do about Saddam.

Bush wants to "talk directly to the American people" about Saddam on Monday.   Based on the accounts I've heard - granted, all from anti-unilateralists in the Congress - public opinion is running strongly against unilateral action.  I wonder if

  1. thats actually the case nationwide
  2. Bush realized that when he decided to "urge the American people to make sure they are heard."

ps. I said want's.  Beat me with a fork.
