Oh dear Lord, Kay Bailey started to cry because Priscilla Owen's nomination was being held up, proving that the charge "Republicans cry when they don't get their way" is more than just mere rhetoric - it actually happened.
She needs to be taken to task for this. If a male Texas Senator had doen this, he would not have been allowed home. If a Democrat Senator had done this...
Also worth pondering is why no tears have been shed by Kay for the Iraqi War and its death and destruction, but poor little Priscila'ss nomination getss held up, we get to see the waterworks - wtf, over.
So, please discuss and ridicule.
Here is the Newshour link which will have the video (although it is not up yet because I saw it on TV only 5 minutes ago):

I'm serious, friends - this was really strange to see.
Here is a more direct link - scroll down to the "Senate Debate" on the image of Frist sitting with the judicial nominees.
Oh, and bring a barf bag.
(and please, everyone, I do not mean to overplay the macho theme, but Lord, Kay embarrassed us and herself today).
