After swearing that he never said he would be a loyal democrat -- "I did not say I would be a loyal Democrat" -- and then brazenly declaring his support for Norm Coleman, it appears that Arlen Specter has angered Dems. First Arlen is a lousy Republican, then Arlen is a lousy Democrat. Who the hell is going to vote for the fool?
Sen. Specter (
In a unanimous voice vote, the Senate approved a resolution that added Specter to the Democratic side of the dais on the five committees on which he serves, an expected move that gives Democrats larger margins on key panels such as Judiciary and Appropriations.
But Democrats placed Specter in one of the two most junior slots on each of the five committees for the remainder of this Congress, which goes through December 2010. Democrats have suggested that they will consider revisiting Specter's seniority claim at the committee level only after the midterm elections next year.
"There's still time for the Minnesota courts to do justice and declare Norm Coleman the winner." -- Arlen Specter
