Going to the mattresses
Sen. Orrin Hatch stayed up most of last night as the Senate held what some are calling a pajama party: an all-night debate on withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq. Hatch took a nap in his Senate office but returned to the floor at 5:30 this morning to speak.
And, remember, he doesn't drink coffee so he didn't even get a caffeine jolt.
I'm not sure how many C-SPAN 2 viewers were watching that early in the morning, but give Hatch credit for using what I'm going to term as a $10 word.
"Mr. President, absquatulation is not a policy," Hatch said.
Wouldn't you love to hear the president try to use that word?
