not to nit-pick, but that distinction IS important in reminding folks he never really was a “believer” in anything Repblican — once and always opportunist!

He then became the author of the single-bullet theory in the Warren Commission Report and died.

…whether this action was ballsy, cowardly, or senile.

Actually, I’m betting on “arrogant.”

“While the event’s protocol was established at Specter’s request, for whatever reason, he “shredded his own rules,””
The protocol was set by SPecter;s request, then for mysterious reasons unknown, he “shredded” the very rules he established.
Such a simple answer, IMO.
In two parts.
One, he likely as not assumed that because he is already a sitting United States Senator (just imagine/remember Ned Beatty as Senator Meachum in the movie “The Shooter” saying that line.) he would speak first, and didn’t intend to have some upstart steal a second of ‘his’ time.
Second, Rules? Rules? We don’t need no stinkin’ rules!

As an American I want to see Specter exit stage left ASAP.

Here he see’s the meteoric rise of Obama and the Democrats control of both Houses and the POTUS and he’s thinking, “Damn Arlen, You’re gonna miss out on this deal, this bit of history, lemme grab them coat tails!”
Bamn just like that Jekyll becomes Hyde and a new Democrat Senator
bursts forth claiming knowledge and wisdom far beyond that of mortal man!
Shoot ahead too somewhere in the not too distant future. New Jersey
elects a republican Governor, Massachusetts elects a Republican Senator to fill the vacancy left by the passing of Ted Kennedy. Obama couldn’t even get a legitimate “tax cut” passed if he tried. Democrats are beginning to shun association with Obama etc etc
And most of all the party he dumped, fled from and then bad mouthed is making inroads towards a possible huge recovery of fortunes.
Choke on that Arlen. That’s what pandering and self serving err selfish actions get you.

he is entertaining!……….we’ll miss that when he is ousted!

if Sestak turned to Specter and said “Act like a gentleman!”

is acting more and more desperate each day

turn around is fair play
Explaining why he is best suited both professional and politically
for the post, Sestak was unexpectedly greeted by Specter, prompting a moderator to bluntly ask the senator to “get off the stage.”

didn’t he just tell Michelle Bachman to act like a lady
seems he needs to take his own advice and “act like a gentleman”

I read his bio on Wikipedia and he was a Vice Admiral, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, and he got fired by ADM Mullen. Then he retires with too little time in grade so he retires as a two-star (Rear Admiral Upper Half). I don’t think that happens much at all. What did this guy do? Wikipedia refers to a “poor command climate.” What did this guy do? I can’t imagine it was because this guy is so liberal Nancy Pelosi tells him to tone it down.

As I watched the clip I was struck by the bravado exhibited by Sen. Specter. He gives me the impression that he is somehow entitled to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants and to whomever he wants. THAT’s what’s wrong with our federal government, and if we don’t put a stop to it we will have what the Soviets had all during the cold war – rulers and commissars that live in dachas, ride around in chauffered limos and jet around the country on our wealth.

We need to radically transform Washington D.C. and we need to do it now!

Specter is a despicable human being. The only arbitral words in that short sentence are human being. Years ago we had a serious assault and battery case. It was perpetrated by a member of the Pagan motorcycle gang for a fee. The former US Attorney (a Republican) and I met with the Assistant US Attorney (a Democrat) in charge of labor racketeering. The purpose of the meeting was to encourage him to prosecute a key figure in a major union in the Philadelphia are who paid for the job. We had the perp with us when we met with him and he told a convincing and truthful story. Yet they never prosecuted. Our speculation was that Specters influence played a part in that decision. That union was a major contributor to his candidacy and could deliver alot of votes. The other factor is play was the bias of that office. Never before and never since have I seen posters with mug shots of Halderman, Erlichman and Mitchell hanging on the walls of a US Attorneys office. Justice was not blind in their office.

He really is regretting that decision is he not?

Check out this clip.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

That’s not a cheap pejorative; it really seems that Specter is not firmly grounded these days, no matter what his politics might be. Something, other than his cheap political opportunism and arrogance, is at work here.

driving him CRAZY! I personally am quite enjoying his breakdown. He sold his soul to the Democrat Party, he is a man of no HONOR and it shows!

I used to play with kids like Specter in grade school. We called them “ball hogs.”

No matter. With what’s happened in Mass. and NJ, I’ll wager this turncoat will become a Republican again before the year’s out.

This old reprobate is just another example of our senile congres-critters and the dire need for term limits, 6 years for senators, 6 – 2yr. terms for representatives or any combination of such that equal twelve years. Thank God we were able to legislate 2 terms for a president after the FDR debacle, and it is long past time for congress-critters.

Nancy Pelosi and Dirty Harry are two more whose feet need to hit the pavement.

The people need to take back our country, vote them out, set term limits, any raises tied to COLA-not the automatic they now get, put them on the same Social Security and medicare that they legislated for “we the people”. Remind them every day, “You work for we the people”.
