SCHOOL DAYS
It's Getting Hot in Here

Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) tells the Philadelphia Inquirer's Steve Goldstein that the immigration debate in the U.S. Senate has sparked unprecedented tensions, strife the senior senator from Pennsylvania said he hasn't seen "since high school." ("Specter: Tensions are High in Senate.")

Measuring his frustration on a 1-to-10 scale, Sen. Specter said, "I'm at 212 -- degrees -- that's the boiling point."

Oh, and by the way, Sen. Specter characterized Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid as "a thorn in the side of the world."

Well, I suppose if anyone knows about thorns in sides, it would be Sen. Specter.
