That Specter thing...
I wrote this weeks ago. Funny -- or, actually, not so funny -- on Monday 12/20 we learned that the Senate GOP leadership has appointed Brownback and Coburn to the Judiciary Committee -- just to make sure the hard-core anti-abortion movement is there to watch Specter's every move. wow.

Specter Working to Show Commitment To Bush Nominees
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Arlen Specter today announced that he was halfway through a long list of “tasks, promises and good-will gestures” designed to reassure Republican senators and conservative groups who have had doubts about whether he should be allowed to chair the Judiciary Committee.
Specter’s staff was still gathering requests from the Republican caucus, but as of Friday, Specter had reportedly finished drafting a requested 10,000-word essay entitled “Why I Will Always, Unconditionally Support Any Nominee Submitted By the President, No Matter Who They Are, In Fact, He Could Nominate a Week-Old Cow Turd And That Would Definitely Be Okay.” The essay will posted on the web site of MajorityLeader Bill Frist (R-TN).
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) asked Specter to perform a polka dance in the Capitol Rotunda while wearing a cone-shaped party hat and singing the Alabama state song. Specter’s staff said the dance would occur Monday afternoon.
Sen. Sam. Brownback (R-KS) requested that Specter clean up Brownback’s Senate office every other Thursday through December 2005, “including dusting.” Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) has requested that Specter spend all of next Tuesday walking around the streets of Capitol Hill, ringing a hand-bell and dressed in a large sandwich board adorned with the face of Jesus.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) has proposed a scenario next week in which Chambliss will stroll through the Dirksen Building playing an old-fashioned hand organ, while Specter scampers ahead through crowds of visitors, wearing a small monkey’s cap and collecting coins in a tin cup. Specter’s staff said they were still trying to find the proper hat.
Incoming freshman Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) said, “I’ll settle for a blow job.”
