Pulling An All-Nighter

by digby

This is fun. Think Progress is live-blogging the all-nighter with video and all kinds of good stuff. Josh Marshall is asking for choice nuggets of speechifying if you're watching on CSPAN. And Huffington Post is staying up all night too.

All of you west coasters who have nothing to do tonight can participate as well:

10:49 PM: Take action. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) urges you to make a call to wavering senators. See his personal “all-nighter” call sheet.

I especially liked this little report from Think Progress:

9:49 PM: More from the Iraq rally outside the Capitol: Sen. Patrick Leahy addresses the crowd, “Thank you, you’re a lot nicer to me than Dick Cheney.”

Now back in Chris Matthews' day the crowd might have chanted "Dick Cheney can go fuck himself!" in response. The wholesome protesters of Americans Against Escalation In Iraq and MoveOn.org are much too well mannered and well behaved to do such a thing.

But I'm not.



Update: Mad Kane has one of her patented song parody's for tonight: The Full-a-Bluster Song. Warning: ear worm.
